Support for Living, Learning, and Growing
Living Careers was created by Danielle Sheppard, LPCC, to offer thoughtful support beyond a traditional one-size-fits-all model. Here, grief receives dedicated care. Neurodiversity is approached through deeper understanding, practical skills, and self-acceptance. Career and relationship concerns are addressed according to their own needs.
Danielle’s work is neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQ+-affirming, client-centered, and trauma-informed.

Build skills from a deeper understanding of yourself
An autism or ADHD diagnosis can provide an explanation for experiences that previously felt confusing or unsupported.
This self-paced class helps adults and parents better understand neurodivergence, build practical skills, identify useful supports, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves or someone they love.
