Hi, I’m Rose Kormanyos (she/her), MA, LMFT, IMFT, a neurodivergent therapist and EFT nerd!
As a current therapist and former ecologist, I bring a unique evolutionary and neuroscientific lens to the work of individual and couples therapy.
Whether you have just received a diagnosis of ADHD or Autism or you’re struggling to communicate with your partner, I can help these confusing emotions start to make sense.
I have advanced training and certification in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), which has been rigorously studied over decades and shown to be effective for individuals couples just like you - yes, the nerdy couples, too!
Watch this video to hear me explain the inner workings of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and how it can help in couples counseling!
Online Therapy for Nerdy and Neurodivergent Adults and Mixed Neurotype Couples in Sunnyvale, CA and Beyond
Let's be honest — you've always been pretty smart. Science and math just made sense to you in school, and it was clear that you'd thrive in a career harnessing those skills.
But maybe you still feel mystified by your own neurodivergent brain or the patterns in your relationship.
Deep down, you've always thought of yourself as a nerd, and you were delighted when you found an amazing partner who accepted and appreciated your inner nerd, because they had things they were nerdy about, too! Maybe you landed a great job, where you can be your nerdy self. Maybe you and your partner have decided to create a tiny human, or two.
Mixed-neurotype relationships are uniquely beautiful, but they can also be uniquely challenging.
On paper, things are going great. So why does it feel like you’re stuck? It seems like you're having the same, painful argument over and over again. The things you try seem to backfire about 40% of the time. You've always been good at solving puzzles, but you can't seem to crack this pattern.
Your partner means the world to you, but they seem to be getting angrier and more distant by the day. It's starting to feel frustrating and demoralizing. You yearn to find your way back to the joy, love, and levity you used to share, but you're worried it might not work out.
If you’re really honest with yourself, you are feeling lost in ways you never have before.
That’s why neurodivergent-affirming therapy is so important!
I get how painful and frustrating this experience can be. Love is confusing! Sometimes it seems like relationships follow some stochastic randomness that is impossible to predict. But guess what? This is NOT random chance! We now understand the neuroscience behind negative patterns that couples get stuck in, and we have identified ways to help couples start to untangle these patterns.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps neurodivergent couples make real change.
If you’ve read this far, it’s because you’re ready to start working to make things different. I know you're smart, so I'll be honest with you. High-quality, life-changing therapy like EFT is not easy. It takes an investment of time, energy, and courage. Taking an hour out of your schedule to "talk about your feelings" with might not seem like the most important place to put your energy, but the individuals and couples I've seen who dedicate the time to dig in and do the work gain knowledge and insight that serve them for the rest of their lives.
I can support you through evidence-based, neurodivergent-affirming online therapy for couples and adults in Sunnyvale and beyond!
I offer free 30-min phone consultations to learn about your relationship, answer your questions, and determine if my approach would be a good fit.
Keep exploring with my resource library for neurodiverse couples, where I discuss Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment styles, navigating conflict and repair, and more!
