Understanding Neurodivergence
We are in the midst of a major shift, as more individuals are discovering their neurodivergence later in life. For many, conditions like ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) went undiagnosed during childhood because the science and practice of identifying these conditions had not yet caught up with their experiences. These adults, often labeled "high functioning," learned to navigate life with coping strategies that may not truly serve them.
Unfortunately, the mental health field has not fully adapted to meet the needs of this growing community. There is a significant gap between traditional therapy models and the specific challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals. Many struggle to find practitioners who truly understand their experiences and can provide effective, actionable support.
At New Discoveries Coaching, we fill that gap by offering practical, personalized coaching designed specifically for neurodivergent minds. My goal is to bridge the space between diagnosis and empowerment, helping individuals reclaim their lives with tools that work for them.
Coaching is structured, goal-oriented, and focuses on practical steps toward future success.
Therapy is more open-ended, often exploring past experiences to address deep-rooted issues.
Coaching is future-focused, helping you build strategies for what lies ahead.
Therapy is often past-focused, working through unresolved trauma or emotional challenges.
Therapy is regulated by mental health organizations and insurance companies, with specific protocols and limitations.
Coaching operates outside of these regulations, allowing for more flexibility and a personalized approach.
Therapists often receive minimal training in neurodivergence, which can make finding the right support challenging.
New Discoveries Coaching is specifically designed to support neurodivergent individuals, with every tool and strategy tailored to their unique needs.
Growing up undiagnosed and navigating a world without the support I needed shaped my understanding of neurodivergence from an early age. I learned to adapt and create my own tools for success, often having to figure things out on my own. This lived experience, combined with my professional background working in special education, has given me a unique perspective on what it means to support neurodivergent individuals. Over time, I realized that the tools and strategies I developed could benefit others, leading me to create New Discoveries Coaching. My mission is to provide the kind of individualized support that can make a real difference in the lives of those who often feel overlooked or misunderstood.
