Meet Dr. Jessica M. Newland, Psy.D.

Welcome to Neurodiversity Consultants! I am a neurodivergent psychologist passionate about supporting and advocating for the neurodivergent community. My approach is deeply rooted in celebrating individual strengths and fostering a sense of empowerment.

With over 15 years of experience working with adults, children, adolescents, and families, I offer a warm and understanding space for exploring a wide range of neurodivergent experiences, including ADHD and autism. My practice is trauma-informed, multicultural, and LGBTQ+-affirming, reflecting my commitment to honoring the diverse and intersecting identities of my clients.

I believe in a collaborative, strength-based approach, working closely with you to identify and nurture your unique abilities while addressing challenges and developing effective accommodations. Together, we will discover a path toward an authentic and balanced life that aligns with your self-determined goals and values. I recognize that you are the expert on your own experience, and I am here to help you uncover your inner strengths and create a life of fulfillment in mind, body, and spirit.
