Clear, Compassionate Support for Neurodivergent Brains
At The Neuroaffirming Coach, I provide evidence-based, strengths-focused coaching for ADHD, autistic, and otherwise neurodivergent individuals. Whether you’re struggling with planning, emotional regulation, task initiation, social communication, or everyday overwhelm; you’re not “lazy,” “disorganized,” or “unmotivated.” You deserve support that understands your brain.
Why Work With a Neuroaffirming Coach?
I’m Natasha a neurodivergent professional with decades of experience supporting other neurodivergent individuals in education, vocational rehabilitation, and transition services. I understand the challenges because I’ve lived them, and I know what actually helps because I’ve supported thousands of clients over the years. My approach is: Neuro-affirming (no masking, no compliance-based methods), collaborative & strengths-focused, evidence-informed (including PEERS®, executive functioning research, and coaching best practices), practical, and compassionate. You will never be shamed for your brain. We build systems, skills, and strategies that fit you.
Master Executive Function
Developing strong executive function skills is crucial for managing time, organizing tasks, and achieving long-term goals. Through personalized coaching, I help you create systems that align with your cognitive strengths, making daily life more manageable and productive.
Build Social Confidence
Social interactions can be daunting, but with the right guidance, you can learn to navigate them with ease. Through the PEERS® program, I provide structured, evidence-based training to help you start and maintain conversations, handle rejection, and build meaningful relationships.
Parents Let Go With Love
Neuroaffirmative coaching empowers parents to replace nagging with effective communication and helps them learn how to give young adults genuine choice and agency in their lives. By focusing on providing age-appropriate supports that build independence, this approach naturally shifts the dynamic away from control, fostering confidence in the young adult's abilities. Ultimately, this acceptance and skill-building mindset alleviates the profound anxiety parents feel about their future capacity to care for their young adult, creating a foundation of trust and resilience.
