Support for Neurodiverse Families

when parents have support, everyone benefits

Parents of neurodivergent children often have a lot to do raising children with more intensive support needs. It’s easy to neglect our own needs by putting our children first, which can lead to isolation, burn out, or overwhelm. Finding a balance that works for the whole family can feel impossible.

I offer both 1:1 and group coaching to support parents in this situation. 1:1 sessions give space to provide highly individualized support, gorup work provides much-needed community for parents. We all need community, but for parents of neurodivergent children it’s especially critical to have a place to feel seen and supported. Both individual and group coaching include materials and resources to spark conversation and bring new ideas to parenting.

Testimonials

  • “Working with Clio was wonderful. She strikes just the right balance between professional and relatable, and she inspires trust and confidence, while also inviting vulnerability and honesty. I appreciated Clio's ability to guide me in discourse on a wide-reaching range of topics, from navigating professional hurdles to co-parenting a child with multifaceted needs. I found Clio during a time in my life where I had recently received some world-order-shifting news, and she was a kind, compassionate, and empathetic companion during the early stages of my journey. Professionally, she provided quick, organized, and curated summaries and resources, and she was thoughtful and intentional about returning to past understandings while also focusing on tackling new information and topics each session. Thank you for your guidance and support, Clio!”

  • “I’ve struggled intensely with finding self-compassion and also with being disconnected with my body; working with clio has helped me change the dialogue I have with myself and also with my body. Working with Clio has also helped me move into my power to self-care without guilt — my family and I are that much closer for it. ”
