Neurodiverse Affirming Treatment Statement
This is a Neurodiverse(ND) Affirming space. Neurodiversity is a term that describes the range of neurological functioning in humans and the different ways people experience and interact with the world. It’s not a diagnosis. It is associated as an umbrella term for the following diagnosable* and treatable* conditions: ADHD; ASD; learning disabilities like dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and dyspraxia; tourette syndrome and other tic disorders; sensory processing issues; BPD; OCD; and intellectual disabilities like Down syndrome and Prader-Will Syndrome.
Our therapies aim to create a safe and welcoming environment for neurodivergent(ND) people: presume competence in our clients, strive for and promote our client’s autonomy, respect all communication styles, are informed by ND voices, use a strengths based approach, honor ND culture, and tailor therapy to each client’s individual needs. We do not aim to ‘cure’, reverse or treat away someone’s ND diagnosis, instead we aim to increase our client’s freedom to engage in their life authentically and with agency & dignity.
