In the world of mental health, understanding the unique experiences of neurodivergent individuals is crucial, especially when it comes to addressing anxiety and OCD. Can behavioral interventions like CBT coexist with neurodiversity-affirming practices? And how can understanding learned helplessness transform our approach to anxiety and OCD treatments? Emily is joined by Dr. Jeremy Shuman, a neurodivergent psychologist specializing in these topics and more.

If you missed the enrollment for the Neurodiversity University Educator Hub back in September, we are going to be opening it up for enrollment in the new year. To get on the waiting list, give us your info and we'll let you know when the window opens again!

Dr. Jeremy Shuman is a licensed psychologist in St. Louis, MO, specializing in the treatment of OCD and anxiety disorders, especially when these co-occur with other forms of neurodivergence. He practices from a cognitive-behavioral perspective and includes both exposure-based and non-exposure interventions according to client needs.

Dr. Shuman works in private practice, supervises junior clinicians, teaches a seminar on OCD, provides consultations across the country, and does public speaking for advocacy work. Dr. Shuman is neurodivergent himself, and practices psychology informed by evidence based practice, clinical experience, individual preference, as well as his own lived experience.
