Let’s Find Your True North
True North is a not-for-profit research and training center supporting the neurodivergent community with affordable, practical, proven guidance that better empowers unique minds with greater inner courage, self-trust, strength, and purpose.
Our center primarily specializes in positive self-sufficiency training for children, youth, adults, families, and providers working with ADD/ADHD and Autism Spectrum diagnoses, although our Young Adult Launch program applies to all types of neurology.
At True North Neuro, every kind of mind is recognized and celebrated. Our mission is to help youth explore their own unique neurology as the key to a positive, self-directed life. Together we will uncover your values and strengths to develop greater self-understanding and mastery that become the foundation of daily fulfillment.

(initials ok if they want to be anonymous, better if they will provide pic and full name) these are examples of what we can ask for.
I can’t believe the change in our daughter–she is so much happier and our entire family has become more peaceful through learning along side her in her sessions.
Mary Sequoia
MomThis approach is so different from the many, many people and systems we have tried to help our adult son find some peace and independence with the way his mind works. He really feels he has people on his team and is growing in confidence as he sees what a different practicing his tools can make.
Marcus Alpine
DadOur son was completely nonverbal when we began this journey, we still can’t believe the growth and confidence he has gained through this process
Philip Glacier
DadIt’s really different to approach our family in such a positive, practical way and finally put down the strain of seeing her diagnosis as a problem that needs fixing. Making room for all of us moved our family from survival mode into truly enjoying each other.
Robin Yellowstone
MomWhat a shift to approach neurodivergence as a superpower instead of a liability. Our son finally has the skills to navigate the way his mind works, and we have the tools to help support him in a more positve way.
Amy Redwood
MomI’m just so grateful for what this has done to build up our son, and I personally have benefited so much in my own self-awareness and ability to show up as a dad and as a husband. Our whole family just feels fundamentally different now.

Why Choose True North Neurodiversity Center?
A Whole-System Approach to Personal Growth
We start out from a center of basic wholeness—setting aside trauma- or symptom-informed modalities to embark on an open, curious exploration of the internal and external landscape just as it is. From there, we take an orderly, honest approach to examining our experience, identifying reasonable, practical ways to better enjoy daily living, while systematically charting a clear path toward self-sufficiency in each aspect of life.
We create more space and perspective around areas where we may feel stuck. We try on new lenses, and by imagining different scenarios we begin to master our own neurological power to self-navigate in an uncertain world.
Together we seek out and magnify each mind’s unique qualities and strengths while addressing the practical realities of navigating today’s challenging societal framework.
Our Kids Light Up the World
Over the past fifteen years, the kids we’ve served continually express their appreciation for what has come to be the foundation of the True North approach, expressing appreciation for skills and ongoing encouragement we’ve been able to provide as they grew up.

Let’s Build a More Beautiful World Together
Everyone’s future depends on the success of the growing community of children experiencing the world through a unique neurological lens. Within these minds lie the answers to some of the largest questions our species is now facing, and we are wise to empower them and their support systems with the time tested knowledge they need to transmute their difficulties into their true superpowers.
