Therapy & Executive Function Coaching with Aurora Packard, LCSW​​

Hi, I’m Aurora (she/her). I’m a licensed clinical social worker and neurodivergent therapist specializing in supporting adults and older teens (16+) who are navigating the complexities of ADHD, autism, anxiety, burnout, and identity development.

​

I’m also AuDHD, which means I understand – both personally and professionally – how frustrating and isolating it can be to navigate a world not built for the way your mind works. I know that sustainable change doesn’t always come from pushing harder; it comes from being seen, understood, and supported in building tools and strategies that help you thrive.

​

My Approach​

My approach is collaborative and designed to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll work to reduce overwhelm, build self-trust, and create systems that help you feel more grounded and empowered. Sessions may include:

​

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Mindfulness-based and somatic tools

  • Executive functioning coaching strategies

  • Psychoeducation and identity support

  • Trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming care

 

Whether you're unpacking years of masking, struggling with motivation, exploring a new diagnosis, or just trying to get through your day without shutting down – I can offer tools and support tailored to your specific situation.

​​

Executive Function Coaching

Available worldwide.
Practical support for task initiation, focus, structure, and managing the emotional toll of "just starting." Coaching is flexible, client-led, and shame-free.

Autism & ADHD Assessment

I provide affirming, developmentally appropriate assessments for teens and adults using gold-standard and adult-specific tools like the AQ, CAT-Q, ASRS, and structured interviews. Assessments include a clinical write-up that can support self-understanding, workplace or school accommodations, and next steps in care.

For families or groups working to understand each other, reduce conflict, and foster clearer communication across neurotypes.

Retreats & Trainings

We acknowledge that the Nisenan people are still here among us today though nearly invisible. We understand that we are on Nisenan land that was never ceded, and the original tribal families have yet to recover from the near genocide of their people. As a resident or visitor in Nisenan land, we support the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan tribe in efforts to stabilize their people as well as their campaign to restore federal recognition. For more information and to support the Tribe visit Nisenan.org.
