Las Vegas Therapist for Queer, Trans, and Neurodivergent Adults

Allison Martone

I help LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent folks who are exploring who they are, in a world that often misunderstands them. I aim to empower you to move beyond shame, feel validated in your story, and live more fully as your authentic self.

Las Vegas Therapist for Neurodivergent Adults

I’m Allison Martone, a therapist in Las Vegas who supports neurodivergent adults and people navigating complex relationships and life transitions. I’m here to offer grounded support, compassionate collaboration, and practical tools so you can better understand yourself, strengthen your connections, and handle life’s challenges with more confidence and clarity.

I work with adults who have spent too long feeling misunderstood — whether by systems, relationships, or even themselves. Together, we’ll explore what feels stuck, and help you build strategies that honor your experience and your goals. Whether you’re coming to terms with a new ADHD or Autism diagnosis, hoping to reduce anxiety, settle into your sense of self, or move through life transitions with more resilience, I aim to help you feel validated, grounded, and more at ease with your story.

Couples and Polycules

Relationships are hard, and relationships that exist outside the “default settings” come with extra layers. Add queerness, gender exploration, non-monogamy, or polycule dynamics, and suddenly you are navigating not just each other, but a world that often does not understand or respect how you love.

I work with LGBTQ+ couples and polycules who want support strengthening connection, improving communication, and untangling the patterns that keep showing up, even when everyone involved is doing their best.

This is a space where your relationship structure is not questioned, explained away, or treated as the problem. In our work together, we might focus on honesty, communication, accountability, and emotional safety. We talk about expectations, repair after conflict, and how to stay connected when life, stress, and old wounds get in the way.

For polycules, this may include navigating communication across multiple relationships, managing jealousy without shame, clarifying agreements, and addressing the very real emotions that come with being committed to more than one person. I aim to help you find clarity, mutual respect, and connection within your relationships. You deserve care that understands the complexity of how you love and helps you build something that actually works for you.

Support for ADHD and Autistic Adults

Living as an ADHD or Autistic adult in a neurotypical world often means spending years being told you are too much, not enough, or that trying harder should solve everything. Many neurodivergent adults come to therapy feeling burned out, misunderstood, or disconnected from their needs after a lifetime of masking and self-doubt.

I offer therapy for ADHD and Autistic adults that is neurodiversity-affirming, respectful, and practical. I won’t force you into systems that were never designed for you. Instead, we focus on understanding how your brain works, validating your lived experience, and reducing shame while building supports and systems.

In therapy, we may explore identity, sensory needs, emotional regulation, relationships, and the long-term impact of being misunderstood or misdiagnosed. Through this work, I aim to help you feel more at ease with yourself and better supported as you move through the world.

Who I am and how I got here

I spent my formative years in the theater, surrounded by deeply creative, expressive people navigating identity during a time when being “different” often came with real risk. I was frequently entrusted with quiet, vulnerable truths like, “I think I’m queer and haven’t told anyone yet.” Witnessing that courage not only shaped my values, but also supported me in beginning to explore my own identity.  I find deep purpose in walking alongside individuals who are on a journey of reclaiming their identity and living more authentically and wholeheartedly.  Whether you identify as LGBTQIA+ or not, I am interested in your story; what has shaped you, what hurts, and how we might cultivate more flexible, compassionate ways of understanding yourself and others in the world.

How I help

I practice humanistic, client-centered care grounded in the belief that shame is not a helpful teacher. I approach concerns with empathy, warmth, compassion, and gentle, honest feedback. My training emphasized the therapeutic relationship as the most essential component of healing, and I hold that belief at the center of my work. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including ACT, DBT, and EFT.

Off the clock

When I’m not working as a therapist, I’m usually creating something. I’m an active performer, writer, and artist, and I spend a lot of my time doing improvisational comedy. I love spaces where play is encouraged, ideas are met with curiosity, and people feel safe enough to try—even when they’re not sure what they’re doing yet.  Outside of all that, I value time with family and the grounding, restorative moments that come from being with people I love.
