Our Philosophy

01

Our Commitment

At the core of NeuroSpark Health is a commitment to creating a safe and inclusive space. We recognize that the path to self-discovery can be transformative, and our team is dedicated to providing support, understanding, and resources that work for your unique neurotype and identity. Our clients are the experts of their own experience, and our job is to help them get the answers and support they need to stand in their power with self-awareness and a sense of community.
02

Our Vibe

Picture a group that’s unequivocally judgment-free, affirming, and authentic; that’s us. We’re not your typical mental health practice. We are centered and specialized in this community. We’re a team of vibrant minds ready to show up as ourselves so you can feel safe doing the same. Bring your pets and fidgets and get comfortable.

03

Our Process

Our services are designed to be easy, client-centered, and empowering. From the initial consultation to the delivery of results, we guide individuals through a journey of self-discovery, offering insights, recommendations, and a foundation for continued support.
04

The Bottom Line

We come from a place of total acceptance and zero judgment. We welcome all people across the beautiful, dynamic, multidimensional spectrum of neurodiversity, gender diversity, sexuality, ability, race, creed, and culture.

What Sets Us Apart

Lived Experience

There are too many neurotypical-dominated spaces in this field, and we’re here to change that. That’s why ALL of our team members are neurodivergent.

Neurodiversity-Affirming

We celebrate neurodiversity as a fundamental aspect of human variation. Our assessments and services are designed to affirm, validate, and de-pathologize each individual’s neurodivergent identity.

Respect for Intersectionality

We strive to infuse DEI practices in everything we do. We especially want to eliminate barriers for women, people of color, LGBTQIA+, and gender-diverse folks as they face disproportionate rates of diagnosis and care.

Post-Diagnosis Support

We understand that identification/diagnosis is only the beginning. We’ve designed our service offerings to provide you with ongoing support, including therapy, coaching, and assistance with the disability accommodations process.

Human Connection

We answer our phones and emails personally. Please feel free to connect, say hi, or ask any questions you may have. We take care in providing resources and recommendations that are helpful and meaningful.

Our Story

After recognizing and personally experiencing the gap in specialized services for autistic and ADHD adults, we decided to be the change. Our mission is to provide comprehensive, specialized autism and ADHD assessments for adults and ND-affirming support services, including coaching, therapy, burnout support, and accommodations consulting.

Meet The Team

All of our providers are neurodivergent, so you won’t be asked to explain basic neurodivergent realities. We already speak the language. And we bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to everything we do.

Callie DiRafaelle, Practice Manager

Hi! My name is Callie and I’ve worked in healthcare for over 25 years. Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a passion for improving access to care, especially for underserved communities. I hold a Master’s in Healthcare Administration (MHA) and am bilingual in Spanish, which has allowed me to connect with and advocate for a broader range of individuals.

Outside of work, I’m a mom to three wonderful kids (2 who are neurodivergent), and I love spending time outdoors and with my family. 


Come As You Are

Whether you’re seeking a diagnosis, coaching support, therapy, or help with accommodations, we’re glad you’re here.           

Take your time. Read our bios. See who resonates.

There’s no “right” way to be neurodivergent. There’s just your way. And we’re here to support it.

I feel more comfortable in my own skin, and also like I can now look back on my past actions and behaviors and give myself a little more grace.

Neurospark Health is the best! So happy I found this place because they changed my life. They gave me the insight I needed to flourish in basically all areas of my life. Dani and Autumn are super awesome, kind, and understanding. 100% recommended, worth it, and completely necessary for life. ❤️

I’m glad that self-diagnosis is accepted among the community, but the need for evidence, proof, support, whatever you want to qualify it as, is something that my mind just needed.

Everything I’ve experienced makes so much more sense now.

As far as my experience with NeuroSpark Health, I want to say that your method of evaluation is excellent.

Just knowing the provider I was working with was on my team, helped greatly.

The evaluation with NeuroSpark was like night and day compared to my other evaluation which felt cold and judgmental.
You both made me feel encouraged and supported and were excellent at really listening to me.
Something that really has stuck with me… is that I didn’t have to wait on a diagnosis to start supporting myself. The diagnosis helps me understand myself better, but I’ve also reflected on this statement and have realized that supporting myself is not selfish and I need to not feel shame in that. Thank you for this simple statement. It has helped me more than you know.
This feels like a victory, especially for my self understanding.
I am feeling better already about all my struggles. It’s amazingly healing to connect with someone who gets it.
First and foremost, I want to thank you for creating such a welcoming and non-judgmental environment.

NeuroSpark Health created a very safe environment for me to share the struggles (and embarrassments) I experienced as a child/teen. Disclosing those experiences is typically something I avoid as an adult as it sparks a very high level of vulnerability; however, the professionals at NeuroSpark recognized that and worked hard to respect and acknowledge my past struggles without judgment.

I feel relief that there is finally some explanation for the differences between myself and many of my peers, especially during childhood and adolescence.
Working with NeuroSpark Health has been incredibly valuable to me both personally and professionally.

“People with ADHD have a disruption in their brain’s dopamine reward pathways. With fewer dopamine receptors and transporter availability, individuals with ADHD may resort to reward-seeking behaviors that can help satisfy their brain’s need for additional stimulation,” explains Dani Rodwell, LCSW and co-founder of Neurospark Health.

…sexual education is just as important in autistic youth, states Landry. “Autistic adolescents and young adults often receive less sexual guidance, support, and education than their neurotypical peers due to barriers such as ableism, assumptions, stigmatization, and exclusion.”

Because a lot of these videos or posts oversimplify what it’s like to live with the disorder, it’s possible a neurotypical person who didn’t get enough sleep or is dealing with relationship issues could assume their struggle to focus is ADHD-related, says clinical psychologist Julie Landry, PsyD.

Jennifer Alumbaugh found her neurodivergent status holding her back in jobs where she quickly outgrew her old position. Yet any attempts to move up the corporate ladder or present ideas to supervisors for improving the company were dismissed or disregarded. “It felt like I was always being rejected for promotions and now I look back and see it’s because others couldn’t see how [my neurodivergent brain] was one of my strengths.”
