Neurodivergent-Affirming Consultation & School Advocacy for Clinicians and Families
At Willow Counseling Services, consultation services are designed to support clinicians, caregivers, and systems in developing more neurodivergent-affirming, inclusive, and effective approaches to care. Drawing from her experience as a licensed clinical social worker, Madelyn offers collaborative, practical consultation that bridges insight with real-world application.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Consultation
Madelyn provides consultation for therapists, educators, and organizations seeking to deepen their understanding of neurodivergence and move beyond deficit-based models. This work centers on honoring neurological differences while supporting individuals in ways that align with their identity, needs, and lived experience.
Consultation may include:
Reframing clinical conceptualizations through a neurodiversity-affirming lens
Supporting work with ADHD, autism, and sensory differences
Identifying and reducing masking, burnout, and internalized stigma
Adapting therapeutic approaches to be more accessible and affirming
Case consultation for complex or nuanced presentations
This space is both educational and reflective, with the intention of supporting providers in building confidence, cultural humility, and alignment with inclusive care values.
Parent Consultation, School Support & Advocacy
For parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children, navigating school systems and support services can feel overwhelming. Madelyn offers consultation to provide clarity, advocacy support, and guidance so families can confidently support their child across settings.
Parent consultation may include:
Understanding your child’s neurodivergence through a strengths-based lens
Support navigating school systems, including IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) and 504 Plans
Guidance on requesting evaluations, accommodations, and appropriate supports
Preparation for school meetings and support in understanding your rights as a caregiver
Collaborating with schools and providers to advocate effectively for your child’s needs
Navigating therapy options, evaluations, and community-based resources
Parenting strategies that reduce shame, build connection, and support regulation
Space to process the emotional aspects of parenting, advocacy, and systems navigation
The goal is to help families feel informed, empowered, and supported without pressure to “fix” their child, but to better understand and advocate for them.
What to Expect
Consultation sessions are collaborative, individualized, and grounded in your specific goals whether you are a clinician seeking case support or a parent navigating educational and developmental systems. Madelyn brings a warm, nonjudgmental approach that prioritizes curiosity, respect, and actionable guidance.
Services are available via telehealth for flexibility and accessibility.
