General Neuro-Affirming Coaching
It can feel isolating and challenging for neurodiverse folx to navigate the neurotypical world. We provide individually-designed coaching sessions with practical guidance and resources that promote a sense of community, connection, and confidence to youth and adults alike. We also offer coaching specifically designed to support parents/caregivers of children experiencing neurodiversity and/or learning challenges. Whatever the reason, our staff is here to provide individual support for your individual needs.
Executive Function Consultation
For many, areas of our life are pressing down on us- making the path dark and lonely… It is so hard to know where to turn, or what will ACTUALLY help.
When we understand our true capability, we can remove some roadblocks to allow for a clearer path. Executive Functioning impacts EVERYONE. We all have strengths and weaknesses. The key to success is understanding how to support our weaknesses and utilize our strengths.
An Executive Function Consultation session includes an interview driven questionnaire to CLEARLY determine your strengths and weaknesses. After your consultation, a detailed document will be provided to you to identify the areas, define them, and recommendations for accommodations or modifications you could request in the workplace or other arenas.
Many folx use this as a starting point to direct therapy or advocate for themselves in their school or workplace.
Executive Function Coaching
For some of us, a consultation is not quite enough.
We have created an Executive Function Coaching program that lasts 8 sessions. It begins with our initial consultation and then is individualized specifically to your needs.
Some children and adolescents need support and guidance in defining their academic goals. Some adults need support and guidance in defining their career goals. Others use this program to evaluate concrete areas of their life to continue further in specific therapeutic work. And some coaching clients need overall support in bridging all of life’s many facets.
Whatever the need, a clear plan is made following the consultation to address goals and needs professionally and personally.
