The Big 4 represent the core components of Dan Spring's Neurodiversity Aware Therapy™ approach. By integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solutions-focused Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy, we create a comprehensive support system.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as used at NAC, focuses on understanding and reframing thought patterns in ways that are adapted to be safe for neurodivergent individuals. This approach avoids desensitization, exposure, and prescriptive methods, instead supporting emotional regulation, self-directed coping, and a greater sense of well-being and self-efficacy.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages individuals to cultivate present-moment awareness and acceptance. Through techniques such as meditation and breathwork, clients learn to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and enhance emotional resilience. This approach helps neurodivergent individuals connect with their thoughts and feelings without judgement, fostering a greater sense of calm and clarity.

Solutions-Focused Therapy emphasizes finding practical solutions to current challenges rather than focusing on past problems. This approach encourages clients to identify their strengths and resources, promoting a sense of agency and hope. By concentrating on actionable steps and achievable goals, neurodivergent individuals can experience positive change and enhanced well-being.

Family Systems Therapy recognizes the importance of family dynamics in an individual’s life. This approach involves working with families to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and address systemic issues that impact neurodivergent individuals. By fostering a supportive family environment, this therapy enhances overall well-being and encourages collaborative growth.

Our goal is to address the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals while also nurturing their strengths for a more fulfilling life.
