I’m Jodi Carlton. I help people make sense of the human mind—how we think, feel, perceive, and relate to each other.

Neurodiversity is about how we are all wired differently, like different operating systems. That sounds simple, but it’s been widely misunderstood for a long time, and it’s time we change that - which is why I wrote The Misunderstood Mind: What We Got Wrong About Autism, ADHD, and Neurodivergence (releasing October 5, 2026).

Different doesn’t mean broken. Sometimes differences are real strengths. Other times, they can be genuinely impairing or even devastating in daily life. Both are true, and both need to be understood clearly.

Relationships get confusing when we’re different from one another, especially when those differences are invisible. What we’ve been taught to expect, how we’ve been told to interpret behavior, and the ways we’ve learned to adapt or cope further complicate our lives in ways that are confusing and bewildering.

Not all relationship problems are the same. Some are simply confusing and can be improved with insight and effort. Some people are misaligned, just not a good fit. Other relationships are destructive, where one or both people repeatedly cause devastating harm to the other.

A client once told me I “debug the human mind,” and that stuck. I see patterns (an ADHD strength) and help you make sense of them so you can better understand yourself and the people in your life.

I’m also a survivor of narcissistic abuse. I understand what it feels like to be misunderstood—and to be harmed.

I’ve gained clarity about myself through decades of self-reflection, therapy, and professional work with others facing similar challenges.

I’m here to help you find that same clarity in your own life.
