Speaker Bio:

Dr. Jill Corvelli, founder of the ND Partners Institute, provides complex couples with a path to dependable connection, communication, and conflict resolution. She witnessed that many couples were coming to her as “counseling refugees”- not served by traditional therapy, and sometimes even further invalidated by the process administered without a neurodiverse lens. She noticed that 3 phenomena were historically challenged in ND Partnerships AND that they could be navigated with the right information and methodologies. Dr. Corvelli integrated evidence-based best practice couples interventions, neurodiversity education & methods, and traumatology to create the ND Compass. It is THE playbook to support ND Partners in getting unstuck from their chronic cycles. She delivers the ND Compass directly to her clients through therapy, education, and coaching. She serves in several university settings as a counselor educator and is committed to training the helping professions worldwide to recognize and support Neurodiverse Partners.
