Sarah McElvain (she/her) is a social worker specializing in neuro affirming therapy and assessments, offering support virtually in Texas.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in San Antonio, TX

About My Clients

My focus is on supporting AuDHDers, Autists, ADHDers, PDAers, and their families, as well as guiding anyone curious about these identities and how they may resonate. I offer exploration sessions and strengths-based neurotype evaluations for ADHD and Autism, prioritizing accessibility and ensuring that the process is both affirming and therapeutic. I also offer support for OCD (without exposure), learning disabilities, anxiety, school accommodations, self-esteem, postpartum, and parenting.

My Background and Approach

I hold a Master of Science in Social Work degree from The University of Texas at Austin and a Bachelor of Science degree in sociology and human development from Vanderbilt University. I have over 20 years of experience working with children and families in public schools, juvenile justice, mental health agencies, and my own practice as a postpartum doula. I specialize in neuro-affirming support for children and adults, as well as providing Autism and ADHD assessments. My therapeutic approach is insight-oriented, person-centered, co-regulatory, and felt safety focused. For my work with young people, I let them lead and encourage expression through play and creativity. As a multiply neurodivergent clinician, my style focuses on compassion and empathic validation, prioritizes low demand/high autonomy, and incorporates lived experience through authentic connection with clients (no matter their age!).

I offer online counseling in the following states:
