Neurodiversity Trainings
For Mental Health Professionals
Full transcript of video just below
Hi, I’m Nyck Walsh, a Neurodivergent therapist. I created this training for therapists like you to:
Reduce harm in the therapy space with Neurodivergent folx and start to dismantle ableism
Provide you with concrete somatic tools and strategies to use with your clients, and
Provide knowledge, insight, and psychoeducation about how the Neurodivergent mind body and nervous system work.
We’ll focus on Autism and ADH. I leave off the last D because it is way too pathologizing (the first D isn’t great either, but more on that in the training).
We’ll go over what works, what doesn’t work, and how to create a safer therapy space for your clients. My intention is that not only will you come away feeling more competent, but you’ll also have greater access to your creativity, your inner wisdom, and aliveness in the therapy room. I hope you’ll join me so that we learn and grow together!
What we cover in our trainings
