Values-based and holistic family systems support for neurodiverse individuals
Welcome to Conscious Consulting:
Neurodiversity Support
At Conscious Consulting, we believe in the power of science and creativity to transform lives. Our consultation services are designed to assess, visualize, and create personalized plans that support neurodiverse individuals, their families, and teams.
Our mission is to enhance our clients’ quality of life while mitigating the risks associated with nervous system dysregulation behaviors, skill acquisition, and community integration.
Assent and Therapeutic Alliance
Services at Conscious Consulting are based on a model of assent. Assent refers to an individual’s expression of approval or agreement. It assumes our clients are human beings who deserve equitable autonomy and who have the capacity to be experts in their own lives, wants, and needs. Our services are provided with explicit recognition of assent and we have extensive training in assent-based practices.
We believe building and maintaining therapeutic alliances to be the foundation through which behavioral transformation can occur. Meaningful relationships with and among the individuals and teams we serve allows trust to be at the core of treatment services. When our clients feel safe, secure, and supported by their family and team, learning is optimized while maintaining the individual’s agency. The themes of I see you, I hear you, and I am here for you are woven into our entire process.
Nervous System Regulation
We understand that treatment progress can only happen when our clients are happy, relaxed, and engaged, in other words, when their nervous system is regulated. Our focus is on developing preferred learning contexts for the individuals we serve and on supporting our clients’ teams in creating those learning contexts.
We create treatment plans to facilitate the development and/or maintenance of family systems. We not only emphasize teaching functional skills (communication skills, adaptive and daily living skills, community integration, social interaction, executive functioning), but also emphasize teaching individuals and their teams strategies for nervous system regulation. In doing so, our hope is to improve the quality of life of our clients, their families, their teams, and the communities we serve.
