Start Here: A Welcome to Our Neurodivergent-Affirming, Queer-Celebrating, Human-Centered Therapy Practice

Welcome to Honeybee Psychotherapy & Behavioral Health! Whether you are just starting your therapy journey, continuing to explore, or returning after a break, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to learn about who we are, what we offer, and how to get started with a therapist.

Why People Reach Out

You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy. People come to us when they’re:

• Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck

• Navigating identity or relationships

• Managing trauma, grief, or burnout

• Trying to break old patterns or heal from harm

• Exploring ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergence

• Feeling alone—even when surrounded by people

If You're Hesitating

We get it; starting therapy can be really hard!

Maybe you're wondering:

1)   Is my pain even valid?

2)   What if I don’t know what to say?

3)   Will I be judged?

4)   Can I afford this?

5)   What if therapy doesn’t work?

6)   I don’t want to tell my story all over again or to a stranger.

Here’s what we’d say,

1)   Yes (your pain is valid!)

2)   No problem (there are no “right” words, only your words)

3)   Absolutely not; you WILL NOT be judged!

4)   Yes; we have lots of flexible payment options

5)   We are here to help you; whether that means with us or even if we are not quite the right fit, we will help you figure out next steps

6)   You get to do this however you want to in the timing that works best for you

Now that we have talked a little bit about who you might be, let us tell you a little bit about who we are. 

Who We Are

·       LGBTQIA2S+ celebrating

·       Neurodivergent-affirming

What We Believe

We embrace you exactly as you are. Our mission is to help you reconnect with your authentic self and find healing, community, and support—especially in a world that often feels overwhelming or upside down. When we say human-centered therapy practice, that is exactly what we mean- a practice that centers your human experience.

What We Treat

At Honeybee, we support individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, psychological, and life challenges. Our therapists offer compassionate, affirming care for concerns including (but not limited to):

• Trauma and PTSD

  Healing from past experiences, complex trauma, or ongoing distress in a safe, supportive environment.

• Neurodivergence

  Support for ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences—from a neurodiversity-affirming lens.

• Identity Exploration

  Navigating questions of self, gender, sexuality, culture, and personal meaning.

• Life Transitions

  Adjusting to changes such as moves, career shifts, identity development, loss, or parenthood.

• Relationship Challenges

  Exploring patterns in family, romantic, and social relationships, with or without partners present.

• Private Pay (Self-Pay)

  For those not using insurance, we offer straightforward private pay options.

• Sliding Scale

  We provide income-based sliding scale rates to help make therapy more affordable starting as low as $35 per session. We're happy to discuss what might work best for your budget.

  
  

💛 A Note as You Begin

Reaching out for therapy is an act of strength and care- for yourself, your relationships, your growth, and your healing. You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to do it perfectly. You just have to begin.

If you’re ready—or even just thinking about being ready—we’re here to walk alongside you.

Come as you are. Stay as long as you need. Heal at your pace.
