About

Divergent by Design LLC was founded by Stephanie Roberts-Parker, a certified neuro-affirming life coach with a professional background as a Behavioral Health Technician, Certified Nursing Assistant, and Recovery Coach. Her experience across behavioral health, medical care, and recovery support has given her a deep understanding of the emotional, neurological, and nervous system challenges individuals face, particularly those who are neurodivergent.

Stephanie brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work. As an AuDHD adult and parent supporting neurodivergent family members across generations, she understands firsthand the realities of masking, sensory overwhelm, executive functioning challenges, and emotional regulation differences. She is currently on the path toward International Coaching Federation (ICF) credentialing, strengthening her coaching practice through globally recognized training and ethical standards.

Divergent by Design is rooted in neuro-affirming principles, recognizing that neurodivergence is not something to be fixed, but understood and supported. Stephanie’s approach focuses on helping individuals build self-trust, improve nervous system regulation, and create sustainable, authentic lives that align with how they are naturally wired.

The mission of Divergent by Design is to provide a safe, supportive space where individuals feel seen, respected, and empowered to thrive—not by changing who they are, but by learning to work with their unique design.
