Neurodivergent individuals experience the world in ways that can be significantly different from neurotypical people. At Connections Wellness Group, we recognize the importance of providing individualized care that respects the unique experiences of our neurodivergent patients.
Our team creates personalized treatment plans that focus on the whole person, taking strengths, challenges and co-occurring diagnoses into consideration, understanding that neurodivergent individuals may also struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, trauma, or other stress-related issues. We aim to support and empower our neurodivergent patients to help them build on their inherent abilities and overcome their challenges to achieve not only their wellness goals, but also their personal and professional goals in other areas of life.

What is Neurodivergence?
Neurodivergence is not a diagnosis in itself, but rather a term that encompasses a variety of cognitive and neurological differences. It refers to the diversity in human brain function and cognition, acknowledging that there is no single “right” way for the brain to work. The differences that neurodivergent people experience can present both challenges and strengths.
The neurodiversity concept challenges the traditional view that neurological differences are deficits or disorders, instead promoting understanding that these variations are natural and valuable parts of human diversity.
The range of conditions that fall under the umbrella of neurodivergence can affect how individuals think, learn and interact with the world around them. In turn, neurodivergent individuals may experience symptoms that could benefit from more support.
Conditions that Fall Under Neurodivergence
There are several conditions that are recognized as forms of neurodivergence, including but not limited to:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
Dyslexia
Dyspraxia
Tourette syndrome
