Find Support That Finally Makes Sense for Your Brain and Body
Evidence-based Treatment for Eating Disorders, ARFID, OCD, and BFRBs adapted for neurodivergent children, teens, and adults
If you’ve tried therapy before and left feeling unseen or misunderstood, you’re not alone. Maybe you’re exhausted from masking, stuck in spirals of intrusive thoughts, struggling with food and body, or consumed by perfectionism. Maybe you’re parenting a neurodivergent child and wondering why nothing seems to help. At Side Quest Psychotherapy, you’ll find a safe, affirming space where your wiring is respected, your story is believed, and your needs are taken seriously.

Hi, I’m Jenna Stone, LCSW-C (she/they)
I started Side Quest Psychotherapy because I know how hard it can be to go through therapy and still feel like no one really understands you. If you’re neurodivergent, you may have been told you’re “non-compliant” or “treatment-resistant,” when in reality the treatment was simply a mismatch. I’ve been there too, and that experience is what drives the work I do today.
I provide comprehensive, neuroaffirming evaluations and therapy for adults and kids navigating eating disorders, ARFID, OCD, body-focused repetitive behaviors, chronic illness, and identity-related stress. Instead of focusing on compliance, the work we do together is about what truly helps — building connection, honoring autonomy, and creating safety while addressing the barriers that stand in the way.
Here, you or your child can begin to step out of burnout, loosen the grip of OCD and anxiety, make peace with food and body, and reclaim a sense of worth that isn’t tied to productivity or perfectionism. Most importantly, you can expect to feel fully seen, deeply understood, and supported in ways that honor who you are.
