Joelle Stille Somatic psychotherapy and sex therapy for neurodivergent lives

We work at your sensory pace, with room to stim, move, sit on the floor, or take breaks whenever you need.

How We Work Together

Good therapy fits your nervous system instead of training you to act neurotypical.

Together we pay attention to what helps your body feel safe, regulated, and alive. Whether you are recovering from burnout, untangling trauma, or exploring intimacy, we build support around your real daily energy.

01

Sensory Resourcing

Practical tools for nervous-system regulation and body awareness, shaped around your sensory thresholds.

02

No Masking Required

Individual, couples, and youth therapy (ages 7 to 60) where you never have to force eye contact or perform.

03

Sex & Intimacy Care

Direct, shame-free conversations about sensory sex, kink, consensual non-monogamy, and gender.

Self-Reflection Tool

The AuDHD Trait Wheel

When you are autistic and ADHD, you might crave steady routine one day and need novelty the next. Living with both pulls at the same time can be exhausting.

Use this 8-trait exercise to score both your support needs (peony) and your strengths (gold). Your results stay private in your browser, and you can print a one-page worksheet to bring to therapy.
