Nora Padison

Nora Padison, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, specializes in neurodiversity-affirming Autism and ADHD evaluations for adults in Maryland. Frequently, clients approach her through self-identification, seeking affirmation of their experiences, while others might be exploring neurodivergence for the first time. Nora meets clients wherever they are on their journey of self-discovery. Her process is tailored to the individual’s needs, typically involving a thorough gathering of social and developmental history, completion of self-report questionnaires, and the application of various diagnostic tools. In addition to evaluations, Nora offers neurodiversity-affirming individual therapy and executive functioning coaching for those interested in continuing their therapeutic journey. As a proud ADHDer, she is dedicated to creating a supportive, strengths-based environment for all her clients. Whether interacting in person or virtually, Nora employs her compassion, the therapeutic partnership, and a holistic approach to deeply understand her clients—where they have been, who they are, and who they aspire to become.
