AANE Training for Couples' Therapists
|

Neurodiverse couples have unique challenges and relationship dynamics that may not respond to traditional therapeutic approaches. These clients often require a creative, tailored approach to improve communication and understanding. With specialized training that focuses on neurodiversity, therapists can better identify roadblocks and misunderstandings in their clients’ relationship to help the partners gain a language of connection.
