Exceptional Wellness is committed to enhancing the lives of neurodiverse individuals, including those with developmental and intellectual disabilities, by providing comprehensive, client-centered services. Our team of board-certified therapists, alongside experienced yoga instructors, works closely with individuals who present a range of unique challenges. Whether supporting clients with autism, Asperger’s syndrome, Down syndrome, William’s syndrome, cerebral palsy, or other neurodevelopmental conditions, we ensure that each individual receives tailored care that respects their needs and goals.

Our approach begins with an in-depth assessment for every client. This initial evaluation allows our team to understand the strengths, challenges, and specific needs of each individual. From there, we create an extensive, personalized treatment plan that guides our work. This plan is not static but evolves as the client progresses, ensuring that interventions remain relevant and effective. Our goal is to help clients thrive in various environments, including home, school, recreational, and vocational settings, improving their quality of life and fostering greater independence.

We recognize the importance of addressing the whole person—mentally, physically, and emotionally. This is especially critical when working with neurodiverse individuals, whose experiences and perceptions may differ from those of neurotypical individuals. Our therapists and yoga teachers receive ongoing training in working with neurodiverse populations, ensuring that they understand how to engage and support individuals with a range of sensory, communication, and motor challenges. Yoga, in particular, can offer profound benefits in this context, helping to improve body awareness, reduce anxiety, and enhance focus, while also fostering emotional regulation and physical coordination.

Beyond the therapeutic and physical aspects of our services, we prioritize communication with families and caregivers. We understand that supporting neurodiverse individuals requires a team approach, where consistency and collaboration across all areas of life are key. By working together, we aim to empower clients, build confidence, and enable them to participate more fully in their communities.

At Exceptional Wellness, we believe that every individual, regardless of their developmental or intellectual challenges, deserves the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential. Our holistic, inclusive approach ensures that we address each person’s unique abilities, helping them lead more fulfilling lives in the environments that matter most.

Individual Counseling

One-on-one sessions, once or twice a week, with a board certified therapist.  Common areas of focus:  Improving impulse control, social skills development, anger management, bereavement counseling, and improvement of coping skills.  Therapy is designed to meet the specific needs of the individual.  Treatment plans are designed and evaluated throughout the course of the sessions.

Relationship and Social Skills Groups

Exceptional Wellness puts emphasis on building and improving relationships with peers. Relationship and social skills groups provide a great opportunity to build skills that are valuable in the community. The therapist guides the group to use each other to work through the daily challenges of life.  Promoting the use of peers for resolution of problems and issues rather than depending on staff, parents, etc. We offer a positive and safe atmosphere that leads to growth in many areas of the individual’s life.
