NEURODIVERGENT THERAPY IN TIJUANA AND ONLINE
Adult ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD
You should not have to mask in order for therapy to make sense. We can understand your needs and work in a way that respects how your mind actually works.
UNDERSTANDING YOU BEYOND A LABEL
Your mind does not need to work like everyone else’s
You may have learned to hide your needs, force yourself to meet expectations, or repeatedly explain why certain things are difficult. We can look at your history with less judgment and more clarity.
Moving through the world in your own way
Understand sensory, social, and communication needs without treating them as personal failures.
Strategies that work with you
Address attention, organization, time, and energy without turning every difficulty into shame.
Integrating different needs
Make sense of the tension between structure and novelty, rest and stimulation, clarity and flexibility.
COMMON REASONS TO BEGIN
You do not need a formal diagnosis to start
You are welcome whether you already have a diagnosis, received one later in life, are being assessed, or are only beginning to wonder if you may be neurodivergent.
Masking and burnout
Maintaining an acceptable version of yourself takes so much energy that you feel exhausted or disconnected.
Late diagnosis
You want to revisit your story with a new explanation and process relief, anger, grief, or uncertainty.
Sensory overload
Noise, social demands, and overstimulation keep your body in a constant state of alert.
Relationships and communication
You want to express your needs and build relationships where you do not have to translate yourself constantly.
Executive functioning
Organization, task initiation, transitions, routines, time, or energy feel difficult to manage.
Self-esteem and identity
You want to separate who you are from years of criticism, shame, or feeling that you are always doing something wrong.
A NEURODIVERSITY-AFFIRMING APPROACH
The goal is not to make you less yourself
We are not trying to erase traits, force you to appear neurotypical, or turn progress into another demand you must meet.
We work to understand your needs, reduce exhaustion, and build a life that feels more like your own, using supports you can realistically sustain.
Tell me what support you are looking for →HOW WE WILL WORK
A collaborative and flexible process
Get to know you
We explore your history, strengths, needs, and the situations that create the most strain.
Understand patterns
We identify masking, overload, executive demands, relationship patterns, and body responses.
Build your own strategies
We create practical supports that respect how you process, communicate, and organize.
Adjust without judgment
We review what helps, what drains you, and what needs to change without turning progress into pressure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before your first session
Do I need a diagnosis to begin?
No. We can work together if you already have a diagnosis, are being assessed, or are only beginning to wonder whether you may be neurodivergent.
What happens in the first session?
It is a chance to get to know you, understand what brings you to therapy, and discuss how you prefer to communicate and work. You do not need to have everything figured out.
Do you work with ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD?
Yes. I work with adults with ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD, including people with late diagnoses or many years of masking.
Will therapy try to change my traits?
No. A neurodiversity-affirming approach focuses on understanding your needs, reducing strain, and building support rather than making you appear like someone else.
Can sessions be online?
Yes. I offer in-person therapy in Tijuana and online therapy.
Can sessions be held in English?
Yes. Sessions are available in both English and Spanish.
PSYCHOLOGIST ERNESTO MORENO
A space where you can be fully yourself
I listen closely and offer feedback that is direct, warm, and judgment-free. If something is difficult to name, we can find the words together.
I am a clinical psychologist and doctoral candidate in Mental Health with more than 20 years of experience. We can adjust the process from session to session based on what you actually need.
A FIRST STEP, WITHOUT PRESSURE
You do not have to justify the way you are
We can begin with a first session, understand what you are experiencing, and identify the kinds of support that may help.
