A lot of people who find their way to me have spent years in a world that wasn't quite built for the way their brain works, and they're still figuring out what that means. I'm Brittany, a Neurodiversity affirming Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with adolescents, adults, and seniors. I specialize in supporting Autistic teens and adults, including those who received their diagnosis later in life, alongside people navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADD/ADHD, and relationship challenges. Clients often tell me I'm the first therapist who has really understood them.

Cindi Lane-Pompa

Therapist

Virtual • California


I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults (ADHD, autism), LGBTQIA individuals, and those navigating chronic illness, burnout, and perimenopause or menopause. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like nothing they’ve tried has worked.

You might feel like you’re constantly “too much” and “not enough” at the same time, or like simple things take more energy than they should. That’s not a personal failure—it’s a sign that your brain and body need different kinds of support.

With over twelve years of experience, I offer therapy that is warm, affirming, and practical. I help clients reduce overwhelm, build coping tools that actually work, and better understand how their brain and body function.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you build a life that works for you.

I am a clinical psychologist working in San Diego, with over 20 years of experience.
