Our Approach to Neurodivergence Therapy in Denver, Longmont and Broomfield, CO
Although neurodivergence cannot go away and can feel debilitating, you can live with more emotional regulation and peace. At WellMinded Counseling, our Broomfield, Longmont and Denver-based therapists will encourage you to practice self-care, strengthen your support system, and, if needed, seek additional care from a medical provider. We specialize in a wide variety of therapeutic interventions, including:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT suggests that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. It helps you shift negative thinking patterns into more positive ones. Over time, you’ll develop healthier and more effective skills to cope with ADHD

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Everyone with ADHD is hyperactive
The truth is: Inattentive presentations exist; hyperactivity varies
2. Neurodiversity only includes autism
This myth reduces neurodiversity to a single condition. In reality, neurodiversity encompasses a wide range of neurological differences. Autism is often the most visible or discussed condition, which can lead to this misconception. However, neurodiversity includes many forms of cognitive variation.
Neurodiversity includes:
- Autism spectrum conditions
- ADHD
- Dyslexia
- Dyspraxia
- Dyscalculia
- Tourette syndrome
- Other neurological variations
3. They must be fixed to fit in
This myth assumes neurodivergent individuals need to change who they are. In reality, the goal is support and inclusion, not conformity.
The “fixing” mindset can be harmful, reinforcing the idea that differences are problems to eliminate rather than aspects to understand.
Growth and skill development are important, but they should not come at the cost of identity or wellbeing.
Comparing approaches:
- “Fixing” approach: Attempts to eliminate differences and enforce neurotypical norms
- Support approach: Provides tools, accommodations and understanding to enable success
4. Neurodiversity is a trend or buzzword
This myth dismisses neurodiversity as temporary. In reality, it has decades of history and scientific grounding. The movement began in the 1990s and has grown alongside research in neuroscience and psychology. Increased awareness reflects progress, not trendiness.
Evidence of legitimacy:
- Research basis: Scientific evidence supports the existence of brain diversity
- Advocacy history: Decades of neurodiversity advocacy
- Institutional recognition: Adoption by schools, workplaces and policymakers
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Most commonly for adults; does not work with children with ADHD.
- Goal is to train mindfulness, self-awareness, goal setting and organization.
- Allows person to be more aware of their behaviors, so they are better able to increase desired behaviors and decrease undesired behaviors.

Mindfulness/Mindful Meditation
