5 Fort Lauderdale Neurodivergence Therapists [Now Accepting Clients]
You've spent years adapting to a world that wasn’t built for you: masking yourself, constantly scanning every room you enter, being weighed down and burnt out by the energy it takes to be out of alignment with who you are and what you need.
At Restorative by Lōmii, our trauma-specialized therapists offer neurodivergence-affirming care rooted in attunement, depth, and integrative approaches to create a customized experience for your unique brain.

Jessica Ronyak, LMHC, LPCC
As the founder of our parent practice, Lōmii Studio, I work primarily through EMDR intensives with adults who have spent years adapting to environments that never quite fit. Many of my clients are late-identified neurodivergent professionals—executives, founders, physicians, therapists, creatives—who function at a high level externally while internally carrying the weight of masking, perfectionism, and relational trauma.
My approach is rooted in the belief that trauma is not just what happened to us, but what continues to happen inside of us as a result. I integrate attachment-focused EMDR, parts work, and somatic and neuro-affective practices so the inner shifts feel grounded, embodied, and sustainable.
The intensive format gives us protected time to work without the stop-and-start rhythm of weekly therapy—especially helpful for clients whose schedules, sensory needs, or capacity make traditional weekly consistency difficult to sustain.

Kelsie Baggs, LMHC
I'm a Certified EMDR Therapist who tends to land in the space between science and the sacred. I work with neurodivergent adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, depression, relationship struggles, and the underlying feeling of being fundamentally misunderstood.
My counseling style is warm, client-centered, and grounded in respect; I believe everyone deserves to be met with empathy, acceptance, and nonjudgment, especially when they've spent so much of life feeling like the system missed them. My approach to therapy is integrative: I blend EMDR with somatic-based work, embodiment practices, trauma-informed yoga, and meditative tools.
I primarily offer focused intensives through our parent practice, Lōmii Studio, tailoring treatment goals collaboratively with each client, and I move at the pace of your body, honoring how you process, rest, and rebuild without rushing you through anything.

Arianna Mucci, RMHCI
My background includes years supporting teens, young adults, and parents through complex trauma, suicidal ideation, abuse and neglect, and the overwhelm that so often accompanies being neurodivergent in a world that isn't designed for sensitivity, intensity, or deep feeling. Working in high-acuity environments shaped me into a steady, attuned clinician: someone who can hold weight without flinching and depth without rushing.
At Restorative by Lōmii, I offer weekly 90-minute EMDR sessions, available in-office and via telehealth, blending EMDR with somatic awareness, attachment-informed care, and parts work. I'm actively working toward EMDR certification and advanced training in complex trauma under the clinical supervision of Lōmii's founder, Jessica Ronyak, LMHC, LPCC. Clients often describe me as soothing, intuitive, and deeply present: someone who can hold intensity without ever asking you to push past your own pace.
Credentials: Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern #IMH25868, EMDR-trained, working toward EMDRIA certification
Specialty Areas: EMDR, somatic therapy, trauma

Emmy Slaibe, OTR/L
I'm an integrative occupational therapist, and I blend traditional OT with restorative yoga, mindfulness, sensory regulation, sound healing, and energy work. For neurodivergent clients, my focus is the felt experience of being in your body: learning to read your sensory signals, ease emotional overwhelm, and build daily rhythms that genuinely support your nervous system rather than override it.
With clinical experience spanning Broward County schools, hospitals, psychotherapy practices, and corporate wellness, I bring a multidimensional understanding of how stress, trauma, and sensory dysregulation shape daily functioning.
At Lōmii, our parent practice, I offer occupational therapy sessions that incorporate somatic practices, standalone restorative wellness sessions for clients who prefer a non-OT approach, and integrative support for clients in EMDR therapy or intensives. My presence is steady and nurturing, offering softness and safety that invites you to return to yourself.
Credentials: Licensed Occupational Therapist, 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, Reiki Level 1 – Advanced Reiki Practitioner

What sets our practice apart from other Fort Lauderdale neurodiversity-affirming therapy providers
Flexible meeting options. We offer both in-person therapy in Fort Lauderdale plus telehealth across Florida, so you can choose the format that best fits your sensory, energetic, and scheduling needs.
Integrative somatic offerings. In addition to psychotherapy, we provide restorative yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, sound healing, and Reiki through our occupational therapist, Emmy Slaibe, OTR/L.
Affirming approach. We offer trauma-centered care that is neurodivergence-affirming, not pathologizing. We honor the protective intelligence behind your patterns rather than framing them as deficits to correct.
Private-pay model. This model allows for flexible pacing, longer sessions, and a treatment plan that isn't dictated by insurance requirements. Optional superbills are available for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Trauma & EMDR focus. Every clinician is EMDR-trained, EMDR-certified, or actively pursuing EMDRIA certification, with advanced training in complex trauma, attachment, and parts work.
Extended sessions. All weekly sessions are a minimum of 90 minutes, because meaningful processing rarely fits inside a 45-minute window. Longer sessions allow room to settle, ground, and actually move through the work.
Private, grounding environment. Ours is a boutique, sensory-aware office in Fort Lauderdale, intentionally designed to feel calm, refined, and grounding rather than clinical or fluorescent.
Intensive formats. Our flagship EMDR intensives through our parent practice, Lōmii, are an excellent fit for clients who prefer focused, multi-day work over the stop-and-start rhythm of weekly therapy.
FAQs about neurodivergence therapy
-
No. We welcome clients who are formally diagnosed, self-identified, or somewhere in the middle of exploring whether neurodivergence is part of their story. Therapy here is centered on understanding your lived experience, patterns, and goals rather than on labels. A diagnostic identity can offer useful language, but it isn't required to begin meaningful work together.
-
No. We are a therapy practice, not a diagnostic or psychological testing center. If a formal evaluation feels important to you, we're glad to share trusted referral options in South Florida or, where appropriate, for telehealth-based assessment. Our work focuses on the therapeutic process, integration, and how you live alongside your neurotype.
-
EMDR does not treat neurodivergence itself, because being neurodivergent isn't something to “fix.” What EMDR can support are the trauma layers that often accompany it: masking, chronic misattunement, bullying, late identification, burnout, and relational wounds. By reprocessing these experiences, EMDR helps ease the emotional and physiological weight your system has been carrying, creating room for regulation, clarity, and self-trust.
-
Intensives are often a fit when you want focused, accelerated work in a contained format, especially when weekly sessions feel too fragmented to settle into, or your schedule makes consistency difficult.
Weekly therapy offers steady, relational depth over time, which can be especially supportive for nervous system stabilization.
We can discuss which option may be the best fit for you during your introductory call.

Yes, therapy for neurodivergence is often covered by insurance, though We are a private-pay practice. We do not bill insurance directly, which allows for 90-minute sessions, flexible pacing, intensives, and personalized care that isn't constrained by insurance requirements or diagnostic gatekeeping. Clients with out-of-network benefits often submit superbills to their insurance for partial reimbursement, and we're happy to walk you through that process.
