Friday, May 31st: 11am-2pm EST| 5 Ravenscrot Drive #102 Asheville, NC 28801| This course is designed to equip clinical supervisors with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and support Neurodivergent therapists, particularly Autistic and Adhd therapists, within the clinical supervision process.

I am a white, 51 year old, AuDHD queer woman from the South.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and was especially drawn to working with kids with developmental delays and adapted Physical Education. I later worked in youth development for the YMCA of Middle Tennessee for nearly 10 years. Working with teens inspired me to complete a Masters degree in Community Mental Health and Counseling. I’ve been licensed as a counselor for 16 years and been a LCMHCS supervisor for 7 years.
About 6 years ago I started learning bits and pieces about how Autism shows up in women and saw myself in these descriptions. In the past two years I have embraced that identity for myself and have been diagnosed AuDHD in the past year. I am a therapist, Clinical Director and Supervisor at Resilient Mind Counseling, proudly and enthusiastically supporting Autistic clients and supervising Neurodivergent therapists!
 This Training will offer insight into the unique challenges and needs of Neurodivergent therapists and offer supportive and affirming strategies and suggestions you can use when supervising these clinicians.
This training will help prevent burnout, improve task completion, and enhance communication, as well as boost the overall effectiveness of your clinical supervision!
