Healing with Heart: How Compassionate Counseling NY Empowers Neurodivergent Lives
Identifying a good therapist is sometimes difficult, mainly for those dealing with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). Unlike most places, Compassionate Counseling NY provides one-of-a-kind therapists who truly understand what you are going through and want you to feel at peace and supported.
Jennifer Lerner, LMHC, provides online counseling to individuals and couples in the State of New York founded on years of professional experience and life understanding. She is warm, non-judgmental, and individualized in approach, for she feels that therapy can be a comfortable, not a physician’s visit, space.
Jennifer’s Journey: Triumph Over Adversity to Inner Strength
Jennifer not only knows how to do work with neurodivergent clients, she is neurodivergent. She is a child who was diagnosed with Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and knows first-hand how overwhelming and isolating the world is when your brain works differently.
Rather than permitting her diagnosis to define her, Jennifer learned, tested, and established coping methods and strategies over a period of years that now make up the foundation for her own therapeutic practice. Her experience allows her to offer something valuable and powerful: real empathy and proven methods that actually work.
For her clients, this is everything. They don’t feel judged, misunderstood, or forced to conform. They feel seen, respected, and encouraged.
Online Therapy That Feels Personal
Compassionate Counseling NY is completely online and therefore easy, accessible, and discreet. If you are a university student, busy professional, or couple wanting to rekindle your connection, online consultations free you up to value your health and well-being from home.
But just because it’s virtual doesn’t mean it feels distant. Jennifer is known for creating a space where clients feel:
- Safe to speak freely
- Comfortable in their skin
- Excited to grow
- to speak freely
From the first session, you’ll notice the difference. You’re not just another client, you’re a whole person, and Jennifer is here to help you thrive.

A Message from Jennifer
“When I was growing up, I didn’t always have someone who understood what I was going through. That’s why I created Compassionate Counseling NY, to be the kind of support I wish I had. My goal is for every client to feel
safe, respected, and excited about who they are and what they can achieve.”
