ADHD/Neurodivergence Therapy and Coaching

What is neurodivergence?

Formerly considered a problem or abnormal, scientists have come to understand that neurodivergence can have many benefits. With this shift, practitioners are no longer treating neurodivergence as an illness. Instead, they are viewing them as different methods of learning and processing information. This umbrella term includes traits of autism, attention deficit disorders, dyslexia, sensory sensitivity to name a few.

I come from a strength-based, social justice approach to ADHD counseling and coaching. I have a fundamental belief that neurodiverse communities have much to offer a colonialized, binary, neurotypical society. However, in this technological time that demand a lot of attention and productivity there is and abundance of strategies and tools to help the ADHD person thrive!
