"Why am I not growing?"
We all have needs.
When critical needs like good food, deep sleep, and loving relationships are deficient, we become more susceptible to harms.
SUSCEPTIBILITY + OVERWHELMING STRESSORPOOR MENTAL HEALTH
Like a flower in bad soil and bad weather, we wither. However if we clean up after the storm, and amend the soil, we can once again grow, bloom, and flourish.
From wither to flourish, that is the work we'll do together.
Choose the support service that's right for you:
Talk Therapy w/ ACT
Therapy works! And it's not magic, either.
Choose this option if...
- You are looking for a neuro-affirming therapist
- You need someone to listen to you without judgment
- You want help processing your past
- You are dealing with depression or anxiety
What to expect
In talk therapy sessions we'll often use a technique called Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). We'll look at the things that really matter to you, what's getting in the way of you pursuing life on your terms, and then figure out how we can take concrete steps towards the relief, healing, comfort, or growth you've been wishing for.
ADHD Coaching
ADHD isn't one thing; it's twelve things.
Choose this option if...
- You have specific goals you want to achieve and you want accountability
- You need a "second brain", routines or other ADHD systems
- You struggle with task initiation, planning, organization, or time management
- You need more than a prescription for your ADHD
What to expect
We'll help you build ADHD-friendly systems, structures, and skills that work with your brain and not against it. We'll ask you what your goals are, figure out how to get you there, and then together we'll enact a concrete plan with the firm accountability you need to not just start working on your goals but to actually achieve them.
Autism Mentorship
What else can we do but look out for each other and help each other out?
Choose this option if...
- You are an autistic or AuDHD person
- You want to be more authentically autistic but don't know how
- You like the idea of growing INTO autism
- You want to get out of your house and live more
What to expect
An autism mentorship allows us to bundle up everything we know about how to live in an autistic brain and body and put it to practical use for your unique circumstances. We'll go out in the world together and figure out how to feel comfortable, how to overcome, how to connect. And we'll do it in an actually autistic way.
Grow Forward is neuroaffirmative
We are #ActuallyAutistic and ADHD ourselves. We know there are times where you have to mask. We know what's it like to have gigantic emotions. We have been lonely. We have been misunderstood.
ADHD, AuDHD and autistic ways of being are natural variations of human experience - not problems to be solved. We celebrate your strengths, respect your challenges, and shape our services around how your brain works.
