Learn to work skillfully and compassionately with sensory neurodivergent clients

Empower your organization and enhance your impact with trainings customized for your organizations unique needs

Mental Health Professionals are not taught how to work with neurodivergent clients.

Why Neurodiversity Affirming Training?

Think back to your mental health graduate training; remember that course you took on the neurodiversity paradigm? No? Like the rest of us, our graduate schools taught us next to nothing about working with neurodivergent folxs. Yet 15-20% of all people are neurodivergent (that's equivalent to substance abuse in the U.S.A., yet most of us have a class on that!)

15-20% of all people are neurodivergent!

One day, hopefully soon, a class on working with neurodivergent people will be just as mandatory for mental health professionals as a class on substance abuse. But for now, you'll need to get training on working neurodivergent folxs for three reasons:

  1. You likely already have multiple neurodivergent clients on your caseload

  2. Neurodivergent people are increasingly looking for therapists who use a neurodiversity-affirming approach

  3. The community of therapists in CO who work with neurodivergent folxs from a neurodiversity-affirming lens is full

Therapists who serve neurodivergent folxs from an ND-Affirming approach are full

Come join a neurodiversity affirming therapy training to learn how you can serve your neurodivergent clients with the effectiveness and compassion they need to grow and thrive.

“Lila Low-Beinart is the real deal: a presenter who owns the room and an expert who makes neurodiversity affirming therapy accessible. She doesn’t drown people in jargon. She builds understanding: one concept at a time. Then, she makes the theory real with a client story: vivid, human, unforgettable. Lila masterfully weaves clinical skill with evocative storytelling, so you get both precision and heart. The audience left with practical tools they could use the same day and a deeper sense of compassion for neurodivergent clients. If you want a speaker who educates, moves, and mobilizes your audience: book Lila. She’ll raise the bar for what you expect from professional training.”
