  • Yes. If you suspect, identify as or are formally diagnosed/assessed for neurodivergence, like ASD or ADHD, this intensive is for you.

  • No. This is a skill building intensive, so it is coaching. The facilitators have a clinical background and both specialize in working therapeutically with the neurodivergent community in their licensed practices, but this intensive exists outside of the therapeutic container / dynamic / legal structure. This intensive is an experiential educational resource. It is not therapy and is not a substitute for therapy.
