Meet Lela
Lela Simon is a board-certified LCPC specializing in neurodiverse counseling for adults. With lived experience in neurodivergence and chronic pain, she offers a deeply empathetic space for those navigating autism, ADHD, and complex family systems.
As a dedicated ADHD therapist, Lela provides neuro-affirming and trauma-informed support for chronic pain, adult children of emotionally immature parents, and the challenges of a brain that processes differently.
At Distracted Excellence, therapy is a collaborative journey toward self-discovery through individual sessions, group work, and holistic wellness. You won't have to spend sessions teaching Neurodiversity 101, but Lela promises never to believe she knows everything.
Distracted Excellence is an AFFIRMING SPACE. As long as you aren't hurting yourself or others, therapy is meant to meet you where you are and welcome you to grow in the ways you choose. You are the expert on your life. I am here to point out things you may not have noticed. I also strive to make sure accommodations are easy—the office has accessible parking, is a sensory-friendly space, and telehealth is always an option.
Our purpose at Distracted Excellence is to provide specialized counseling for neurodiverse adults that fosters resilience and authentic living. We are dedicated to neuro-affirming care that honors your unique brain while promoting stability.
