Neurodivergent coaching supports individuals who think and process information differently. It differs from psychotherapy as it centers on skill building and developing strategies needed in the present moment rather than past traumas or emotional difficulties. Coaching builds on strengths, focuses on achieving goals, and supports navigating challenges that are unique to divergent thinkers. 

Embracing the culture of neurodiversity is often missed in traditional therapy, delaying the ability to proactively identify unhelpful behaviors and remove barriers. Coaching considers a variety of factors when striving to reduce disruption in one’s life and aims to create a balance that is meaningful and personal. 

This type of support can benefit individuals with autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, diagnosed or undiagnosed, who identify as neurodivergent and are seeking to improve executive functioning, communication, and interpersonal relationships.
