Christin Keegan, MS, CCC-SLP, CALC
Co-Owner
Speech-Language Pathologist
ADHD+ Life Coach
Parent Coach
I received my ADHD Life Coaching certification from the iACT Center in 2022. Since then, I have worked with preteens, teens and parents of kids that struggle with a variety of executive function and social challenges. My clients come to me both with and without a formal ADHD or other diagnosis.
I earned my Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology in 2008 and currently have a private speech therapy practice in southern ME. I work with kids and teens with a variety of neurodivergences on speech & language skills as well as "social skills", like self-awareness, self-advocacy, and conflict resolution.
In addition to working with neurodivergent kiddos and families in my coaching and speech practices, I am also a parent to neurodivergent kids, which has given me an invaluable perspective. I am committed to learning from the neurodivergent community in regards to both my practice and personal life, and bringing this knowledge into the lives of my clients and beyond.
Jennifer Gustafson, MS, OTR/L
Co-Owner
Occupational Therapist
Parent Coach
After earning my Master's of Science in Occupational Therapy in 2011 and experiencing a variety of settings for occupational therapy, I discovered a passion for early intervention, working with babies and toddlers and their families. This setting not only allows, but places emphasis on, supporting entire families and provides the freedom to truly support clients in living life to the fullest. Using a coaching model, we work together to incorporate my knowledge and expertise with that of each client, who are the experts in the lives of their own children and family. Witnessing the profound impact this approach can have not just on the children, but on whole family systems, solidified my commitment to this approach.
In addition to being a professional focus, I have a personal passion for all things neurodiversity. Discovering and accepting my own neurodivergence was a pivotal and deeply validating experience. Now, I'm committed to educating and raising awareness about neurodiversity and neurodiversity-affirming practices. As a mother of three neurodivergent children, I'm determined to contribute to a more informed and accepting world.
We are so excited to combine our personal and professional experience and knowledge to serve our clients at Creating Connection. Our focus is on breaking down barriers, championing neurodiversity, and empowering individuals and families on their unique journeys.
