Sex Therapy for Neurodivergent Couples

Let’s Talk About Intimacy—In a Way That Actually Makes Sense for You
Virtual sessions across Texas

Talking about sex is hard enough.
Talking about it when you’re autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, or otherwise neurodivergent? That’s a whole other level.

You might love your partner deeply, but feel like you’re just not on the same page when it comes to sex. Maybe one of you craves more connection, and the other feels overwhelmed by touch. Maybe intimacy has become confusing, stressful, or something you’re avoiding—even though you don’t want to.

Sound familiar? You're not alone.
And you’re not broken.

As a therapist who works with neurodivergent couples across Texas, I offer sex therapy that’s respectful and tailored to you.

Why Sex Can Feel Different When You’re Neurodivergent

For many neurodivergent folks, sex isn’t “just sex.”
It can bring up big sensory responses, performance anxiety, shame, or emotional overwhelm. And if you're masking or have a history of people-pleasing, it’s even harder to figure out what you actually want or need.

Sex therapy for neurodivergent couples isn’t about fixing anyone.
It’s about helping you both feel seen, safe, and connected—in a way that fits your brains and bodies.

ADHD and Sex: When Desire and Distraction Collide

If one (or both) of you has ADHD, you might notice:

• You want sex... but you can’t switch gears to get there

• You get distracted mid-connection and feel guilty about it

• You’re not initiating as much as your partner needs—or vice versa

• “Rejection sensitivity” turns everything into a high-stakes moment

• Executive dysfunction is making even simple intimacy feel complicated

Sound familiar? ADHD can show up in ways that make sex feel overwhelming—or just one more thing to manage.

In therapy, we work on building rituals around connections that feel natural, not forced.
We’ll also talk about how to stay present, how to work through pressure, and how to communicate what you’re feeling before it turns into conflict.

Autism and Sex: Slowing Down, Feeling Safe, and Finding Your Pace

Autistic adults often have a unique experience of sex, and you deserve support that honors that.

You might be dealing with:

• Sensory overload from touch, texture, or even specific environments

• Difficulty initiating or knowing what your partner wants

• Needing things to feel structured or predictable to feel safe

• Feeling shut down or disconnected during intimacy

• Worrying that you’re “doing it wrong” or not enough

You’re not alone. You don’t have to change who you are to enjoy sex.

We’ll take things slow, honor your sensory needs, and ensure you feel in control and comfortable—not rushed, not judged, and never pushed past your limits.

AuDHD and Intimacy: A Lot of Feelings, All at Once

If you're navigating both autism and ADHD, it can feel like you're getting pulled in opposite directions:
You want deep connection, but you’re overwhelmed. You’re hyperfocused... then distracted. You’re sensitive and intuitive, but struggle to express what you need.

This is a common experience for AuDHD couples. And you deserve a space that gets it.

Together, we’ll look at:

• What your nervous system is really trying to tell you

• Why sex can feel like a shutdown or meltdown waiting to happen

• How to balance spontaneity with predictability

• What helps you both stay emotionally regulated and close

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here—we’ll figure out what works for you two.

If You’re Neurodivergent, Sex Might Look Different—and That’s Okay

You don’t have to want sex the way other people do.
You don’t have to experience touch the “normal” way.
You don’t need to follow someone else’s rules about what intimacy should look like.

What do you need?
A space to talk about what you want. What feels good. What does connection mean in your relationship?

Whether you’re dealing with shame, miscommunication, sensory sensitivities, or past relationship wounds, sex therapy can help you both move toward more understanding, more closeness, and more peace.

This Is a Neurodivergent-Affirming Space

I work with couples where one or both partners are:

• Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, or otherwise neurodivergent

• Struggling with mismatched desire or shutdowns

• Unsure how to talk about sex in a way that doesn’t lead to tension

• Wanting to feel closer

This isn’t about giving you homework or fixing you.
It’s about helping you understand yourselves and each other—with less pressure and more compassion.
