You’ve been holding it all together for a very long time.

What This Unmasking Group is About
Coming Home to Yourself After a Lifetime of Performance
You might be reading this and thinking, this probably isn’t for me.
Maybe you think you aren't autistic "enough" or that you don't count without a formal clinical evaluation. Other autistic people seem to have it much harder, so do you really need support? Or maybe you have ADHD and aren’t sure how group therapy would help. You've gotten this far by managing, so you wonder if you should just keep pushing through.
If any of that sounds familiar, you are exactly who this space was created for. You don't need an official autism diagnosis to be exhausted, and you don’t need permission to want to feel like yourself again.
Masking is exhausting in a way that is hard to explain to people who have never had to do it. For many neurodivergent women, it started young: learning to read the room, softening edges, scripting small talk, and swallowing sensory overwhelm to pass as neurotypical.
This 10-week virtual group is a safe container to figure out what is really you alongside peers who truly understand:
What was masking?
What was survival?
What was just you being you?
What We’re Working Toward
Knowing What’s Actually Yours
Naming the exhaustion no one sees, and slowly recovering your genuine preferences, boundaries, and identity.
A Life Your Body Can Rest Inside Of
Trauma-informed, nervous-system-led work on burnout — so recovery holds instead of collapsing again.
Steadier Ground When Shame Hits
Loosening inherited shame and rejection sensitivity, and building self-trust that doesn’t depend on being liked.
Rest That Doesn't Require A Crash First
Recognizing your real capacity and taking rest before your body forces it.
Being Understood Without Translating
Saying what you mean without over-explaining, softening, or masking your words.
Belonging Without Performing
Real connection in a small, closed circle where nobody needs you to be more—or less—than you are.

Meet Your Facilitator
Amanda Morris, MSW, LCSW-BACS, CFSW
I am a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of clinical experience and an AuDHD woman myself. I know firsthand what it means to spend decades masking, being told you are "too sensitive," and realizing how much of life has been a performance.
My therapeutic style is warm, authentic, and collaborative. I am not here to fix you, because you were never broken. I am here to help you set down what you no longer need to carry and build something steadier underneath.
Note: This is a therapist-facilitated group therapy space focused on unmasking and process work, not formal diagnostic testing or evaluation.

January is a few months away. Add your name and you'll get the dates first — no commitment, no cost, and nobody will chase you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a formal autism or ADHD diagnosis to join?
No. Self-identified Autistic and AuDHD women are genuinely welcome. Many neurodivergent women go undiagnosed for decades or recognize their traits long before paperwork catches up. If you see yourself in this page, you belong here.
Is this group considered therapy?
Yes. This is a formal, therapist-facilitated group therapy cohort led by a licensed clinician (Amanda Morris, LCSW). It provides a structured, therapeutic, and psychoeducational space. While it offers deep peer validation, it is not a drop-in support group or crisis intervention service, but works exceptionally well alongside individual therapy.
Which states can participate in this telehealth group?
Due to professional state licensing regulations, you must be physically located in Louisiana, Florida, or Virginia during each online session.
What actually happens during a session?
We meet online in a secure video room as the same small group each week. Amanda guides the weekly themes while leaving ample room for conversation. Camera-optional and text-chat participation are always supported—there is zero pressure to perform.
Is this a drop-in group?
No. To protect group safety, dynamic intimacy, and participant privacy, this is a closed 10-week cohort. Once a cohort begins, no new members join — which is why the January dates go to the waitlist first.
Ready to Find Out Who You Are Underneath?
The January cohort opens to the waitlist first. Add your name and you'll hear the dates before anyone else.
