FIND COMMUNITY & CONNECTION
Group Offerings
Whether you are an adult child of an autistic parent or a clinician who works with neurodiverse couples, you deserve a safe, supportive space to share your experiences, connect with peers, and discover pathways for learning and growth. These specialized support groups, guided by a licensed therapist and supervisor with expertise in neurodiverse relationships, provide an empathetic community where you can explore, reflect, and thrive. Through collaborative discussions and optional resources, each group offers a unique opportunity to better understand neurodiverse relationships and build tools to effectively navigate them.
NOTE: Your parent does not need to be formally diagnosed or self-identified for you to participate in this group. If using the framework of autism helps you understand your parent and your relationship with them, you are welcome here.
Adult Children of Autistic Parents
Growing up with an autistic parent can shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. This group offers a safe, semi-structured environment to explore these unique family dynamics, build self-awareness, and discover pathways to healing.
Facilitated by a therapist who is also an adult child of an autistic parent, the group addresses themes like self-trust, boundary-setting, emotional understanding, and overcoming trauma-related challenges. Our group seeks to balance compassion and understanding for our parents (who were harmed by a culture that did not understand or support them) while also holding compassion and understanding for our own experiences.

Neurodiverse Couples Consultation Group
Come together with your fellow clinicians in this monthly online clinical consultation group where we share knowledge, ideas, and resources regarding our work with neurodiverse couples. Topics are generated by participants, including both larger questions and discussion of specific cases. We'll acknowledge and normalize the challenges that come with this complex work while honoring the unique strengths of our clients and celebrating our own successes.

We welcome clinicians of all neurotypes and strive to embody cross-neurological relating and neuro-affirming attitudes and practices. No prior experience or training is necessary to participate, but additional learning is highly encouraged.
