About this episode
Dr. Alison Greco discusses her platform Parathera and the intersection of user experience and neurodivergent affirming therapy.
Clinical psychologist and UX researcher Dr. Alison Greco joins Shea to talk about Parathera, her innovative platform that bridges the gap between “I’m fine” and full-scale therapy. With a background in anxiety treatment, user experience leadership, and parenting a neurodivergent son, Alison brings a multidimensional lens to mental health support. Together, they explore how neurodivergent professionals can create space for self-compassion while still holding themselves accountable. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like traditional therapy didn’t quite fit—and wants to understand a new path forward!
