Compassionate therapy in Lubbock and online across Texas, for ADHD, autistic, and other neurodivergent adults looking to build authentic, sustainable lives.
Having Autism/AuDHD as an adult can feel isolating and overwhelming. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
Some days feel like stepping onto a stage before you’re ready. You rehearse what to say, monitor your eye contact, and keep your hands still, even when your body wants to move. By the time you get home, the lights go out—masking has drained every ounce of energy, and you feel like an exposed nerve. You can’t help but notice the tag in your shirt, the brightness of the kitchen lights, the hum of a fan that no one else seems to hear. But the quiet after a long day brings a flood of replay and self-doubt as you question every interaction and if you put on a proper performance to appear “normal”.
I understand this kind of exhaustion. You are not “too much,” and you don’t have to perform here. In therapy, we’ll unlearn the shame around masking, map your energy and sensory needs, and create supports for communication and daily routines that fit you. Together we’ll build a life that works with your nervous system—not against it.
Hi, I’m Madison Motley (you can call me Maddie), a licensed therapist who supports adults with Autism and AuDHD in reconnecting with themselves and finding tools that work for their unique wiring.
Therapy turns overwhelm into a workable plan—understanding what’s happening, why it’s hard, and what to do next. I pair warm, collaborative care with concrete tools so change is sustainable in real life.

Neurodiversity-affirming therapy is “An approach to care that recognizes that differences in neurotype are simply part of the range of human experience. While neurodivergent individuals may require support, an affirming provider does not assume that they are inferior or need to be fixed. Affirming providers also center the client’s expertise on their own life and their lived experience.” - Amy Marschall, Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy: What Every Mental Health Provider Needs to Know (2025)

We’ll keep things organized and low-pressure: check-in on what brought you to therapy, your goals and current stressors, and what has or hasn’t helped before. I’ll explain confidentiality, policies, and how I work, then we’ll co-create an initial plan—frequency, supports for executive functioning, and one doable step to try between sessions. You’re also always welcome to ask questions at any time.

Every client is different, so it is hard to put a number on how many sessions you may need. In our work together, we will create a treatment plan and goals to monitor your progress which can inform the length of our time together. Schedule a consultation with me to get started!
Disclaimer: as an LPC-Associate, it is my ethical obligation to monitor client progress towards goals and my therapeutic effectiveness to ensure clients are benefiting from therapy. I will not keep a client in therapy if there is no therapeutic benefit from their receiving my services. Additionally, if at any time a client wishes to discontinue counseling services, that is within their right.

I do not prescribe medications. However, if you are interested in exploring the possibility of medications, I can provide referrals!
