Workshop Information
This presentation uses client case reviews to help attendees understand how to create a neurodivergent-affirming practice.
Attendees will be able to ask consultation-type questions to build awareness and skills. They will learn practical tips to enhance their practice, especially related to cultural competence and psychopharmacology.
Hand-outs will be provided, as well as resources for further research/self-study for participants.
Learning outcomes include:
- What neurodivergent-affirming care looks and feels like for patients/clients and our peer colleagues
- Understanding neurodivergent-affirming care as a form of cultural competence
- How to ensure both your clinical practice and private practice policies are neurodivergent-affirming (do’s and don’ts)
- How to find a competent neurodivergent-affirming therapist, or clinical supervisor.
Please note that this is an intermediate level training. The attendee should already:
- Have a basic knowledge of what neurodiversity is and common conditions encountered in private practice (ADHD across the lifespan, ASD, dyslexia, Aphantasia, etc.); and
- See neurodivergent-affirming care as a form of cultural competence.
Christina Crowe, Registered Psychotherapist, H. BSc. MACP, RP, (cert-S)OAMHP (she, her), Validated Supervisor (S-Cert. OAMHP)
My name is Christina, and I am the creator of The Dig Deeper School. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist, specializing in the treatment of youth, adult, couple and family ADHD, and I created the first DIY*ADHD online course in 2017.
I'm a neurodivergent-affirming Registered Psychotherapist, Certified IPT Therapist and Validated Clinical Supervisor, specialized in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), who also has lived experience with late-diagnosed ADHD. I've been treating ADHD for almost a decade, as well as training new therapists as a practicum clinical supervisor and providing ADHD-specific clinical supervision to practicing therapists. I'm also the host of an ADHD specific podcast, The Christina Crowe Podcast: making the invisible VISIBLE, and I consider myself a relentless mental health advocate.
When it comes to ADHD, I have a special interest in helping adults with ADHD, especially late-diagnosed ADHD, couples with ADHD, parents trying to do it differently, and Clinical Supervision for therapists and interns. There are countless nuances that shift everything when a neurodivergent lens is applied to psychosocial interventions, and I have been describing these approaches as 'ADHD-Adapted Psychotherapy' since 2016.
I'm a current member of CADDRA (Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance) and the CADDRA Advocacy sub-committee, a Certified member of the OAMHP - Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals, a Validated Clinical Supervisor (S-Cert OAMHP), a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
