Divergent Paths Counseling

02/12/2026

Hi everyone! I’m hosting a focused, 1-hour training on executive function on February 20th at 12:00 PM MST, and I’d love to see some familiar faces there.

As many of you know, I’m passionate about neurodiversity-affirming care. This session is designed to be a relaxed, interactive space where we can move beyond basic checklists and look at a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework for supporting our clients with executive functioning challenges.

We’ll be chatting about:

Reconceptualizing EF: Looking at core cognitive skills and clinical risk factors through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.

Creative Strategies: Moving past "just use a planner" to find innovative ways to help clients adapt their environments to their needs.

Nuanced Support: Navigating the "resistance" we often see and helping clients build genuine, intrinsic motivation.

Details:

When: Feb 20, 2026, at 12:00 PM (Denver time)

CEs: 1 CE will be available for licensed mental health therapists (pending).

You can sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/executive-functioning-therapy-from-core-concepts-to-advanced-strategies-tickets-1977322826803?aff=oddtdtcreator

It should be a great hour of learning and connecting. Hope to see you there!

Happy New Year, everyone!

As folks are settling into 2026 and mapping out their plans for the months ahead, I wanted to share a reminder about the start of my course later this month.

This is a longer-term, relational learning experience for therapists who want sustained support in bringing neurodiversity-affirming values into day-to-day clinical work, rather than a one-off training.

New Pathways to Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy (24 CEs)
🗓 Jan 30 – May 8, 2026 | 8 bi-weekly sessions
⏰ 9:30am–12:30pm MT | Every other Friday

The course explores:
-Moving away from deficit- and pathology-based frameworks
-Deepening understanding of autistic, ADHD, and gifted lived experience
-Integrating trauma-informed perspectives related to ableism and regulation
-Supporting more authentic, affirming therapeutic relationships

The consultation group is almost full, so now is a good time to join if this has been on your radar!

I’m happy to share additional details or answer questions in the comments or via DM!

Investigating where we are complicit is so important for decolonizing and de-pathologizing our therapy practice. I'll build on Jennifer Mullan's post and ask: what ways are you still complicit with the pathology paradigm in your therapeutic work?
