Mental Health Coaching for Neurodiverse Workforce

Alice Lacroix

For most of my corporate life, I felt like I was living a double life. My mental health challenges were a secret I had to hide—something shameful, something that would devalue me. That disconnect between who I was and who I had to pretend to be only made my mental health worse.

Looking back at all the jobs I’ve held, I now recognize a pattern: I lost every one of them, directly or indirectly, because of my mental health. Whether it was my ADHD making it hard to stay on top of details, or unprocessed trauma making me overly sensitive to feedback, the outcome was the same. A lack of understanding from management, combined with my own lack of support and resources, created a perfect storm.

Eventually, I found the tools I needed to grow. And from that growth came the foundation of my work today.

My approach to neurodivergent employees is rooted in acceptance and accountability: accept your brain, own your path. For managers, I focus on clear communication tools and building systems that evaluate neurodivergent employees differently—fairly—rather than forcing them into neurotypical molds.

The program I’ve built is the product of a lifetime spent asking, “This isn’t right. How can we make it better?”

The answer is simple: we do it together.

My story
Three people are gathered in a modern office setting. Two women and one man are seated around a rectangular wooden table. The man, with a laptop open in front of him, is typing. The woman on the right, wearing a white t-shirt and denim overalls, is smiling. The atmosphere appears relaxed and professional. The wall behind them is covered with geometric acoustic panels in shades of gray.

Coaching for neurodiversity integration in the workplace and beyond.

In the background, several people are seated around another table, possibly engaged in their own tasks or discussions.

An office workspace with a modern decor theme. The wall displays a large wooden emblem with illuminated neon lights in purple and yellow. Below this emblem is a small shelf adorned with vibrant origami butterflies in orange, yellow, and green. Several colorful sticky notes are attached to the wooden board. A desk has two computer monitors displaying digital content, with a black mesh chair in front. There are indoor plants in the background, adding a touch of greenery.
