Introducing

Diverse Minds

Group

Elevate Therapy is excited to introduce Diverse Minds, an innovative 8-week group therapy experience designed to embrace neurodiversity. Whether you identify with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, or just feel your mind is different, this group welcomes you—no diagnosis needed!

Unlike traditional approaches that label neurodivergent experiences as disorders that need fixing, this group adopts a neurodiversity-affirming approach. We validate, support, and respect neurodivergent minds by emphasizing strengths over deficits and honoring individuality. This includes learning to understand your unique brain, recognizing the challenges of navigating a neurotypical world, and valuing every mind equally.

Together we’ll explore your unique neuropsychological profile, enhance self-confidence, adapt the environment to meet your needs, and learn practical strategies to navigate the world in a way that works for your brain.

Your Facilitator

Kailie Kernaghan-Keast, RP

Meet Kailie, a registered psychotherapist (RP) who specializes in working with neurodivergent clients. With four years of professional expertise and 32 years of lived experience with ADHD, she brings a unique blend of knowledge and understanding to this group.

Kailie is passionate about dismantling oppressive practices typically used in neurodivergent care, instead adopting a neurodiversity-affirming approach. She strongly believes that everyone should feel comfortable being themselves and that having a brain that works differently is not wrong, even if the world says otherwise.

Kailie creates a warm and welcoming environment, making it safe for you to be and express your authentic self.
