The world can be cruel to neurodivergent people. As a result, many of our neurodivergent clients lock their true selves away behind a mask of “normal” … But the constant effort to be something they’re not comes at a heavy mental and emotional cost. While they may blend in on the surface… Behind that façade they struggle with a mistrust of themselves, hatred for their bodies, and fear of their desires.
To undo years emotional damage, they need a clinician who can collaborate with them to find their unique strengths and talents. With Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy, YOU can be that clinician. This powerful model recognises that neurodivergence itself is NOT a flaw or disability to be “fixed”. Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy shows you how to adapt your current modalities to this diverse population to work with your clients’ strengths. With this insight, you can help them overcome depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and other co-occurring mental health conditions that come from trying to fit into a world that wasn’t built for them.
Monique Mitchelson an experienced Clinical Psychologist with an interest in Neurodiversity, particularly in women and girls. She works with many neurodiverse clients with ADHD or who are Autistic and has a neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ safe workspace. Monique also has lived experience of being Neurodivergent.
