RESIDENT IN COUNSELING · NEURODIVERGENT PRE-TEENS & YOUNG ADULTS
Shannon Bond-Young
When your neurodivergent child or teen struggles, knowing how to guide them can feel incredibly hard.
Many parents and caregivers come to me feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to best support their neurodivergent child or teen, especially when dealing with ADHD, Autism Spectrum challenges, intellectual disabilities, anxiety, depression, multicultural concerns, and questions around personal identity.
It’s completely normal to feel this way. The path forward isn't always clear for children and young adults with neurodivergence, but it exists.
I see myself as a guide on your journey to find support, helping you and your loved one navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity. For nearly 15 years, I've provided therapeutic support across various settings — from behavioral schools and outpatient centers to residential facilities and mobile crisis programs — and as a first-generation Barbadian American, I bring a unique cultural perspective that enriches my therapeutic approach. I am known for creating a safe space where both individuals and their support networks can find emotional understanding and strength and with a Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Studies from Winston-Salem State University and a Master of Science in Counseling and Human Services from Post University, I am equipped to provide you with the tools needed to navigate life's challenges.
Neurodivergence isn't a roadblock—it's a different kind of map. Together, we’ll navigate it with growing confidence until your child can lead the way.
