How it started
Understanding neurodivergence
Before I was diagnosed myself, I was working as an OT with children with ADHD and autism. Working with families showed me how important it was for my neurodivergent clients to actually understand how their brain works. I started to see that this provided validation, but also empowered ADHDers and autistic folks to use tools that were actually tailored to us, rather than trying to fit the mold.
The GAP in care for neurodivergent adults
As I learned more about neurodivergence and what support could look like at all ages, I searched for clinicians (both for my work and personal health).
I quickly noticed a gap in mental health care, with few clinicians offering services for autistic adults and adult ADHDers.
So, I decided to start Beyond Boundaries to offer mental health support for neurodivergent folks that is outside-the-box from traditional mental health care.
Moving Forward
Fast forward to today … and there are more and more clinicians offering services tailored to neurodivergent adults. This is definitely a step in the right direction, however, it can be overwhelming choosing a provider.
We always recommend finding a clinician that values and understands lived experiences.
If you have any questions about service navigation, please reach out and we’d be happy to help.
