GRANT MONEY WON
At The Neuro Consultants, we do care about the right way.
Here, the “right” way is the way that works best for you or your employees.
This is the biggest reason why we offer two sets of services. We understand that an individual’s business will need vastly different things than a company or nonprofit. Why not take a look at what we can do to help you and your business?
Values
We Prioritize
-
The heart and soul of why we do what we do will always be you. We’re here to get to know you for the wonderful human you are, understand what your definition of success is, and figure out which strategies will get you there.
-
We’re never going to force you to try and be someone you’re not or fight against what is. Here, acceptance looks like acknowledging preferences, strengths, and struggles, being honest about what's working and what needs to change, and accepting people for who they are.
-
Even though conversations around neurodivergence are finally happening, there’s still a lot of stigma. That’s why we create spaces where all types of neurodivergents can meet each other and build community.
-
We aren’t here to swoop in and rescue anyone because we know neurodivergent people don’t need to be saved. Instead, we are here to support the hell out of you, or your employees, and stick around until everyone feels good about getting stuff done on their own.

Linda Velvest
Associate

MEET THE FOUNDER
I’m Elyse Henrici (SHE/HER/HERS)
It wasn’t until my early 20s that I was diagnosed with ADHD, and my late 20s, that I discovered I was autistic.
That meant that I spent the beginning of my life white-knuckling my way through everything, hyper-focusing on one job to the next, and feeling like my mind was a crowded intersection with thoughts honking and crashing into each other. All. The. Time.
THAT’S WHY I FOUNDED THE NEURO CONSULTANTS.
Not to fix, save, or coddle anybody, but to create a space of resources and support for neurodivergent people that make life better.
