Therapy is often about healing the past (the "why"), while coaching is about building the future (the "how"). At Enlitens, we blend the two. We believe you can't effectively build new skills without understanding the old wounds. Our process is about both insight and real-world, forward motion.
Let's Make a New Playlist.
Your brain isn't broken. It's just been playing someone else's soundtrack.
You know that feeling when a band takes a song you thought you knew and flips it on its head? Like I Prevail's cover of "Blank Space"? That's what we do here. We're not about "fixing" your brain. We're about unmasking the real you and turning up the volume on your strengths.
Tired of the Same Old Sad Song?
You've probably been in therapy before. You've sat on a couch, been handed a generic, laminated worksheet about "unhelpful thoughts," and been told to "just breathe" while your brain is playing a thrash metal solo. You've had to educate your own therapist on your lived experience, only to be met with a blank stare and another condescending platitude.
It's exhausting. It feels like being stuck on a radio station that only plays static and that one Nickelback song you hate. You've been handed a diagnosis that feels less like an explanation and more like a life sentence. You've been told your brain is a "disorder," a "deficit," a problem to be solved.
That is bulls*hit.
You're not broken. You're not a problem. You're a human being who has been forced to listen to a soundtrack that was never yours.
Become the DJ of Your Own Mind
What if therapy wasn't a place where you get "fixed," but a recording studio where you get to produce your own album? What if it was a space where you could take all the raw tracks of your life—the feedback loops of your anxiety, the dissonant chords of your trauma, the moments of quiet harmony—and mix them into something that is unapologetically you?
That's the Enlitens way. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all playlists. We believe in your story, your soundtrack.
This isn't about just talking. This is an active, creative, and collaborative process. We're not here to be passive listeners. We're here to be your co-producers. We'll help you identify the distorted feedback from a broken system and replace it with clear, powerful vocals that are all your own.
Our Studio Sessions
Our work is designed to meet you where you are. We focus on four core "tracks," each with its own dedicated approach, but all guided by the same rebellious, neuro-affirming philosophy.
ADHD & Autism Support
Brilliant, non-linear minds. We translate your brain's unique operating system and build a life that celebrates your strengths instead of punishing your differences.
Learn MoreAnxiety & Mood Care
Overwhelmed nervous systems. We teach you the science of your body's alarm system, so you can stop silencing the signal and start addressing the source of the fire.
Learn MoreExecutive Function Coaching
Chronically overwhelmed CEOs. A practical, hands-on workshop, run by a licensed counselor, for building the systems and strategies you need to manage your life, your work, and your home with less chaos.
Learn MoreTrauma-Informed ND Care
Survivors of a world that wasn't built for them. A "body-first," neuro-informed approach to trauma that prioritizes your safety above all else, helping you heal the wound, not just talk about the story.

Hey, I'm Liz. I'm the founder of Enlitens, and I'm not your typical therapist. I'm a rebellious academic, a science nerd, and a firm believer that the system is broken, not you.
I started Enlitens because I was tired of seeing brilliant, creative, and "neuro-spicy" people get crushed by a mental healthcare system that was never built for them. I've seen the damage that pathologizing labels and one-size-fits-all "treatments" can do. And I knew there had to be a better way. My approach is grounded in science but speaks in plain English. I'm here to translate the complex neuroscience into practical tools you can actually use. I get it because I live it. This is more than a job for me. It's a mission.

F*ck no. Our goal is to work ourselves out of a job. Therapy isn't a permanent residence. It's a temporary workshop. Some people work with us for a specific "season" to tackle a challenge. The timeline is your timeline, and the goal is always to get you to a place where you are the confident DJ of your own mind.
If you've ever felt like your brain got a different instruction manual than everyone else, you belong here. This isn't an exclusive club with a bouncer checking diagnoses. We focus on your lived experience, not a label. If you feel like the world wasn't built for your brain, we're here to help you build one that is.
Definitely not. Our sessions are active workshops, not passive conversations. We might spend a session whiteboarding a new schedule, using a game to practice emotional regulation, or building a literal toolkit of strategies. If you're not a talker, that's fine. We'll find other ways to do the work.
Progress isn't a score on a worksheet. It's real life getting tangibly better. It's the first time you set a boundary and don't apologize. It's the moment you realize your inner critic's voice is getting quieter and your own is getting louder. It's less about "feeling happy" and more about feeling capable and authentic.
While our primary focus is on individual therapy, the skills you build here will ripple out into your relationships. We help you understand your own "User Manual" so you can better explain it to the people you love. Currently, we do not offer dedicated couples or family therapy, but we are happy to provide a referral to a trusted, neurodivergent-affirming colleague.
If you walked out of therapy with worksheets where you wanted connection, that wasn't you being "resistant" — a lot of standard CBT wasn't built with neurodivergent brains in mind, and it can train you to mask harder instead of actually change. The work here starts from the opposite assumption: your brain makes sense, and we build around how it actually operates.
