About Me

Welcome to Dec El Do, a space where therapy is tailored to how your mind works. I'm Cory Thorson, M.S., AMFT, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with Hope Therapy in Spanish Fork, Utah. As a neurodivergent therapist, I understand firsthand that traditional therapy approaches don’t always fit the unique ways we process the world. That’s why I create a space where you can be fully yourself without judgment, pressure to conform, or masking. 

I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, couples, and families, helping them navigate relationships, communication challenges, sensory sensitivities, burnout, and the daily struggles that arise from living in a world designed for the "typical" brain. Whether you're autistic, have ADHD, Autism, or identify anywhere on the beautifully diverse neurodivergent spectrum, my approach is affirming, practical, and tailored to your needs. 

The website, Dec El Do, reflects my love for different ways of thinking. It's a nod to the duodecimal system (10, 11, 12), a number system that challenges the norm, just like many of us do. In therapy, I embrace that same perspective. Your mind is not broken; it’s wired differently, and that difference deserves to be honored. 

If you're looking for a therapist who truly gets it, someone who won’t ask you to “just try harder” but will help you build strategies that work for your brain, let’s connect. You don’t have to fit into the world’s mold. Instead, we can work together to create a life that fits you.
