About Kristen Baird-Goldman
Kristen Baird-Goldman, MS, LMFT, CIMHP, is the founder and Clinical Model Lead of Neurodiversity Care Center, a multidisciplinary mental health practice dedicated to providing personalized, neurodiversity-affirming care.
Her approach focuses on nervous-system regulation, emotional well-being, executive functioning, and whole-person mental health. She specializes in supporting individuals with ADHD, AuDHD, Level 1 Autism, giftedness, and twice-exceptional profiles.
Rather than treating neurodivergence as a condition that needs to be corrected, Kristen promotes an individualized approach that recognizes neurological differences and considers each person's unique needs, strengths, environment, and lived experiences.
The center brings together psychotherapy, executive-function coaching, psychiatric services, nervous-system regulation, integrative mental health, and expressive therapies through a collaborative care model.
Kristen is also an author and speaker. Her published work, The CBT Workbook for Adult ADHD, provides practical strategies for adults navigating attention, organization, emotional regulation, and everyday challenges associated with ADHD.
The practice offers in-person appointments at its Encino and Pasadena offices, along with telehealth services for eligible patients.
