About Us

At Connect Counseling and Consulting, we understand that raising children and teens with special needs presents unique challenges. That’s why we’ve dedicated our practice to supporting families navigating the complexities of Autism, ADHD, and gender minority issues.

Our services extend beyond traditional counseling. We offer live parent coaching and family therapy, providing you with real-time guidance and support. Complementing this is our selection of asynchronous courses, designed to enhance your parenting strategies while promoting self-compassion, all tailored to your child’s specific needs.

But our commitment to creating supportive environments doesn’t stop there. Connect also provides comprehensive training for professionals across various fields. Our sessions are accessible and focused on promoting neurodiversity and gender-affirming care, equipping professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to better support children, teens, and their families.

Join us at Connect Counseling and Consulting – together, we can build stronger, more resilient families and communities.”

We Believe in Empowering Youth and Their Families

At Connect Counseling and Consulting, we champion the uniqueness of every individual. We specialize in supporting neurodiverse youth and gender minority teens, understanding their distinct challenges. Our team provides empathetic, informed care to these young people and their families, helping them navigate their identities in a society that often misinterprets them. We also offer resources to parents, fostering understanding and promoting healthy family relationships. We are committed to creating an affirming environment for all our clients, helping each one thrive regardless of neurodiversity or gender identity.
