About Neurodivergent Guide

---

At Neurodivergent Guide, 

our philosophy is centred on personalized care that honours the unique needs, strengths, 

and experiences of each individual. 

We believe that a holistic approach, 

one that considers physical, emotional, mental, and creative well-being, creates the best conditions for growth and resilience.

Values of authenticity, empathy, 

cultural humility, and inclusion guide us. 

Our perspective is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, person-centred and strengths-based, recognizing that there is no 

one-size-fits-all path. 

Each person deserves to be met 

where they are and supported in ways that 

respect their individuality.

This space reflects Alycia's commitment to offering resources, education, and encouragement to families, educators, and individuals. She hopes that you will find tools here that bring clarity, compassion, and connection as you navigate your own path.

Alycia completed her Bachelor of Arts 

in Psychology in 2023 and is currently 

a psychotherapist-in-training in the 

Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University.

Her work is guided by 

empathy, cultural humility, and 

evidence-based practice, with a 

trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, person-centred and 

strengths-based perspective.

Alycia’s counselling philosophy centres on meeting people where they are, 

honouring individual differences, 

and creating safe, supportive relationships 

that encourage growth. 

She deeply values authenticity and 

believes that genuine connection and 

felt safety provide the foundation for meaningful therapeutic work.

Alongside her academic training, 

Alycia brings life experience as a parent, 

small business owner, volunteer co-facilitator, and visual artist. 

These roles have strengthened her ability 

to listen deeply, communicate clearly, 

and adapt with creativity and resilience. 

She has created resources and facilitated workshops to support families, parents, 

and professionals, and remains dedicated to making information and support accessible.

As a visual artist, Alycia specializes in 

realistic portraiture and plans to weave 

creative expression into her future counselling practice. She believes creativity can open 

new ways of understanding and give people space to express what words 

cannot always capture.

Her personal experiences also shape her perspective. Accommodating her family’s needs has often required going against standard advice, which frequently made things more difficult rather than easier. 

With her children’s unique expressions of neurodivergence and her own lived experience as a late-diagnosed autistic individual with ADHD (AuDHD), Alycia understands the importance of meeting each person as an individual rather than applying a 

one-size-fits-all approach.
