Neurodivergent consulting, coaching, and psychiatry
Upcoming Courses
Designed for therapists and other non-medical mental health providers, this training explores the usage of psychiatric medication as one component of a model of care that respects neurodivergent autonomy and identity. Participants will learn basics on how ADHD medications work, address common misconceptions about stimulants, other psychotropic medications and examine existing evidence on dietary changes and supplements for mental health.
Participants will explore considerations for autistic individuals, including managing co-occurring challenges and understanding unique medication responses.
This course offers concrete guidance for therapists on discussing medication with clients while remaining within scope of practice.
Philosophy
Decolonization
The journey to decolonize mental healthcare is not just about addressing individual traumas but also recognizing our profound separation from land, ancestry, community, and intrinsic joy. By shifting away from the dominant white, heteronormative, patriarchal, and gender-binary narrative, decolonized practices strive for healing through culturally-affirming practices and grounding care in the interconnectedness of our present experiences and the legacies of our ancestors
Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity is the understanding that neurological differences, such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, are natural variations in the human genome. This approach promotes acceptance, respect, and support for all neurotypes, rather than treating them as disorders that need to be cured or fixed.

Collective Liberation
Collective liberation underscores the idea that all forms of oppression are interconnected, and no one is free until everyone is free. Embracing the interconnectedness of our diverse identities and experiences equips us with to dismantle systems of economic, political, and social oppression and create a world where every individual is recognized and valued as fully human.
People only seriously consider change when they feel accepted for exactly who they are
