Understanding Neurodivergence

Neurodivergence refers to variations in brain function that differ from what is considered "typical." Some common forms of neurodivergence include:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Dyslexia
  • Dyspraxia

The neurodiversity movement challenges traditional views of these conditions, emphasizing that neurodivergence is not a disorder to be "fixed." Instead, it's a natural variation in human cognition. Therapy for neurodivergent individuals focuses on empowering clients to manage challenges and embrace their strengths.

Shaneen Duffield, a neurodivergent therapist herself, understands these challenges and works with her clients to help them feel seen and supported. Her expertise in neurodivergence ensures a non-pathologizing approach that celebrates clients' unique experiences.

Why Work with a Neurodivergent Therapist?

Working with a therapist who is neurodivergent offers many benefits, including:

  • Personal Understanding: Shaneen relates to her clients through shared experiences, creating a deeper, more empathetic connection.
  • Tailored Strategies: Shaneen provides strategies specifically designed for neurodivergent individuals, whether it's dealing with sensory sensitivities, executive functioning challenges, or social difficulties.
  • Non-judgmental Environment: Many neurodivergent individuals feel misunderstood in traditional therapy settings. Shaneen ensures her practice is a welcoming, judgment-free space.

Shaneen's strength-based approach focuses on helping clients embrace their neurodivergence while providing tools to improve their mental health and daily life.
