We truly enjoy the exploratory process of helping people to learn more about themselves: how they think, why certain things might be challenging for them, and where intervention might be able to help. We find this process works best when it is collaborative and grounded in compassionate curiosity. Instead of, "What's wrong with you?" we prefer to ask, "What can we learn about that interesting brain of yours?" It is the differences between people that make us unique and special, and every person we've ever worked with has been a singular, distinctive individual. That said, sometimes it can be helpful to have verbal "shortcuts" to refer to certain patterns of strengths, challenges, behaviors, etc.
