Alex Hintertan, AuDHD Adult Trauma and DBT Neuroaffirming Therapist

Who I am

I am a passionate psychologist who is also an autistic non-binary person with ADHD. These aspects of my identity shape both my perspective and my connection with the people I work with.

I am deeply committed to ongoing learning, whether through formal training, discussions with other specialists, or independent research. In my free time, I enjoy creating psychoeducational content. I am a member of PTDBT, and I work in English and Polish, with some knowledge of Spanish.

My credentials

I hold a five-year Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Warsaw (2018–2024), which included a semester at the Universidad de Valencia as part of the Erasmus program (February–June 2021). I graduated with a grade of 4.5 out of 5. My empirical thesis explored gender identity bias towards binary and non-binary transgender individuals, and my master’s thesis examined psychotherapists’ perceptions of online versus in-person therapy. The first of these studies was published in the post-conference volume “(In)equalities. Faces of Modern Europe.”

I have completed postgraduate studies in Psychotraumatology and Psychodietetics at SWPS University and DBT Intensive at Psychwire (2025–2026), a comprehensive year-long training designed to strengthen the skills of therapists working with or beginning work in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Beyond these, I have completed countless additional courses to continually expand my knowledge and skills in psychology, diagnosis, and therapy.

My approach

In my practice, which I offer online, I aim to create a safe, welcoming, and accepting environment where clients feel understood. I place great value on collaboration, working with each person to find the path that suits them best. My sessions are designed to be warm and empathetic, while also structured enough to ensure that our time together is meaningful and productive.

I do not believe in rigid rules; instead, I adapt my approach to the individual by drawing on methods from DBT, CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Schema Therapy, and others, depending on what is most helpful. My work focuses primarily on supporting adults who are neurodivergent, particularly those who have ADHD or are autistic, as well as adults from the LGBTQ+ community and anyone open to collaborative therapeutic work.

Who I help

I work with adults who are:

Exploring ADHD or autism diagnosis
Living with ADHD, autism, or AuDHD
LGBTQ+, queer, or questioning their identity
Struggling with depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, borderline personality disorder, or burnout
Looking for a therapist who truly “gets” neurodivergence and queer experience
Just feel that I might be the person who can help them
