Welcome to PSM Center for NEURODIVERSITY

Leading Neurodiversity Care & Training in Maine

The PSM Center for Neurodiversity is a specialized clinical and training hub dedicated to supporting neurodiversity-affirming care for adults with a focus on adults with ADHD and autism. Our goal is to expand access to high-quality, practical care while training clinicians to better serve neurodivergent individuals across the state. We work closely with the PSM Center for Psychiatry to support comprehensive care when appropriate, including coordination around medication and treatment planning. Our aim is to become a central hub for neurodiversity-affirming care and training in Maine.
