At our practice, "neuroaffirming" means we wholeheartedly celebrate all kinds of brains! We believe that just like we have different hair colors or heights, our brains are wonderfully diverse too. We understand that every brain processes information, learns, and experiences the world in its own unique way – and that's not just okay, it's something to be celebrated. We truly believe there's no "right" or "wrong" way for a brain to be; just different, equally valuable ways of being.

How We Put It Into Practice:

Because our practice is led by someone who deeply understands neurodiversity firsthand, we don't just talk about being neuroaffirming, we live it every day. Here’s how we make sure our support is truly for you:

We Listen to Your Unique Brain

Your voice is the most important one in the room! We're here to genuinely listen and understand how your brain works best. We want to know what makes you feel comfortable, what helps you learn, and what you need to thrive.

We Adapt to You, Not the Other Way Around

You won't find a "one-size-fits-all" approach here. Since our practice is led by a neurodivergent practitioner, we integrate lived experience directly into our methods. This means we continuously:

• Flex Our Communication: We'll adapt how we talk and share information to best suit your preferences, whether that's through visual aids, written notes, or simply a different pace.

• Tailor Our Tools & Strategies: We understand that what works for one person might not work for another. We're always learning and adapting our tools and techniques to truly fit your unique needs, making sure our support feels helpful and empowering for you.

• Prioritize Your Environment: We consider how different environments impact you, and we're committed to creating a space that feels safe, comfortable, and conducive to your well-being.

You're in Control

Your autonomy is incredibly important to us. We believe in your power to make your own choices and lead your own journey. We're here to advocate for your preferences, support your decisions, and help you feel strong and confident in who you are. Our focus is always on individualized support that truly empowers you.

Always Learning & Growing

The world of neurodiversity is always evolving, and so are we! We're committed to continuous learning, staying aligned with the latest best practice guidelines, and always refining our approach. This ensures our practice remains a welcoming, understanding, and incredibly helpful space for every unique brain we work with
