About
Pro Neuro Counseling
My name is Kerry O’Connor, LCSW and I am the founder of Pro Neuro Counseling. I have lived experience as a neurodivergent individual and feel passionate about providing neuro-affirming care to my clients.
In contrast to a deficits-based approach which focuses on “fixing” the impairments associated with neurodevelopmental conditions, a neurodiversity-affirming approach acknowledges that all neurotypes have unique strengths, interests, and support needs. Moreover, this approach highlights the role of the environment and societal barriers in further exacerbating challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals.
Neurodiversity affirming means accepting and embracing neurodivergent brains as equal, valid, and not broken or in need of repair.
