Leyla Baba-Hopper

Leyla Baba-Hopper, LCSW, provides specialized clinical social work services in Asheville, NC, with a deep focus on supporting neurodivergent and highly sensitive individuals. Her practice is specifically tailored to meet the needs of the AuDHD (Autism and ADHD) community, as well as those navigating chronic illness, trauma, and PTSD. Recognizing that traditional talk therapy can sometimes be dysregulating for neurodivergent nervous systems, she utilizes specialized, somatic-based modalities like Brainspotting and depth therapy to offer a more regulated approach to healing.

Serving clients from age 6 through adulthood, Leyla offers individual, couple, and family therapy. Her practice is deeply committed to inclusivity, providing a safe, sex-positive, and kink-allied environment for LGBTQ+ individuals, including transgender, non-binary, and queer clients. She also provides specialized support for caregivers, single parents, and those managing complex issues such as anxiety, OCD, and substance use.

Services are available both in-person and via telehealth. Leyla is currently accepting new clients and accepts various insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross, and UnitedHealthcare, as well as HSA payments. With a sliding scale starting at $185 per session, she offers accessible care for families navigating the complexities of neurodivergence, chronic illness, and trauma.
