Crystalena Oberweiser, AuDHD Therapist
Who I Work With
I work with Autistic and AuDHD teens, young adults, and adults — along with their families — who are navigating burnout, masking, transitions, and the exhaustion of moving through a world that wasn’t built for their brains. Clients range from age 10 and up. I see people in person in Nacogdoches, Texas, and via telehealth anywhere in the state.
I bring lived experience as an AuDHDer alongside my clinical training, so this isn’t understanding from a textbook — it’s understanding from the inside, backed by professional practice.
My Approach
My work is strengths-based, not compliance-based. I’m not here to help you mask better or perform “normal” more convincingly — I’m here to help you build a life that actually fits your brain. That means naming what’s genuinely hard, honoring the ways you already cope, and working from your goals rather than a checklist of behaviors to fix.
I draw on DBT and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, adapted to work with neurodivergent brains rather than against them — practical skills for emotional regulation and overwhelm, paired with a focus on what’s already working and what small shifts could open things up.
How Sessions Run
Sessions are collaborative and paced to you — there’s no pressure to make eye contact, sit still, mask, or perform engagement in any particular way. We’ll talk about what’s actually going on: burnout, sensory overwhelm, transitions, identity, relationships, executive functioning, or whatever’s brought you in. Sessions are available in person or by telehealth, and session length and cadence are worked out together based on what’s useful, not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
What to Expect
A space where being Autistic, ADHD, or AuDHD is never the thing we’re trying to fix
Plain, direct communication — no jargon, no games
Support that’s practical and rooted in your actual day-to-day life, not abstract theory
Room to unmask, stim, script, or just exist without translating yourself for someone else’s comfort
A sliding-scale fee structure, including options for college students.
You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. If this sounds like a fit, a conversation is a good place to start.
