Online case consultations with Dr. Tasha Oswald, PhD, and Cindy Brown, LPCC, help you step back and see new ways to reframe your client’s challenges through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.
Expand your knowledge, improve your clinical skills, and positively impact your
neurodivergent clients’ well-being.
Clinical case consultation is invaluable for therapists at any stage of their career. It offers fresh insights into your clients’ challenges and neurodivergent traits, uncovers new directions to explore in your work, and enhances your skillset, helping you get unstuck and feel inspired again.
As therapists, it is crucial for us to acknowledge the full weight of trauma and grief our neurodivergent clients experience from being marginalized and oppressed. Our society views neurotypical functioning as the “correct” way, treating neurodivergent people as wrong and invalid.
Case Consultations with Dr. Tasha Oswald, PhD, and Cindy Brown, LPCC, provide a dedicated space to challenge neuro-normative biases, identify the real trauma and grief your neurodivergent clients face, and learn effective tools to support your clients’ healing journey.
The group consultations are structured to allow maximum time for discussion and exposure to neurodiversity-affirming principles and strategies for practical application. The rich discussions, emotional support, and clinical insights from the group will help you feel inspired and prepared to move forward with your clients.
The group meets virtually once a week for eight weeks; each session lasts one hour. The group size varies from four to six people.
Schedule a 1-on-1 Case Consultation with Dr. Tasha Oswald, PhD, or Cindy Brown, LPCC for personalized support tailored to your specific needs. This dedicated time allows you to discuss selected cases, get answers to pressing questions, and enhance your clinical practice through psychoeducation and the clinical expertise of your consultant.
A neurodiversity-affirming approach involves a shift in mindset as well as skill set. You shift your mindset from viewing neurodivergence, such as autism or ADHD, as a deficit to a difference in perception, communication, and social functioning. You see your client as the expert on their lived experience, leading to a collaborative approach. You develop skills that support your client’s neuroaffirming self-care practices, self-acceptance, and advocacy skills.
