Pasha Marlowe

Individual and Couples Coach

Pasha Marlowe received her master’s in marriage and family therapy in 1996 from Pacific Lutheran University in Seattle, Washington. Since then, she has focused on working as a coach with neurodivergent individuals and couples, specifically those who identify as ADHD, Autistic, AuDHD, or Dyslexic. They especially enjoy working with neurodivergent couples who are looking for help with communication, sex/intimacy, betrayal recovery, RSD (rejection sensitivity dysphoria), LGBTQIA+ issues, or PTSD. 
 
In addition to coaching, Pasha is the CEO of Neurobelonging, a speaking and consulting business, where she presents to organizations and institutions on how to create cultures of neuroinclusion. She feels passionate about depathologizing and destigmatizing neurodivergence, disability, and mental health and offering strength-based frameworks built upon intersectionality and agency. Cultures of neuroinclusion start in the home, so when Pasha works with individual or business clients, they collaborate to unpack any internalized ableism and biases that will affect how people think about and treat themselves and others. 
 
Pasha is compassionate and relatable and quickly establishes trust and rapport as she leads with vulnerability, transparency, and large doses of humor. They have 54 years of lived experience as a Queer, autistic ADHDer raising three neurodivergent children and coming from (no surprise) neurodivergent parents. Pasha is also the host of the “Neuroqueering” podcast and the author of “My Next Husband Will be a Lesbian.” She lives in Portland, Maine.

Autism

“The impulse to heal is real and powerful and lies within the client. Our job is to evoke that healing power… and support it in its expression and development. We are not the healers. We are the context in which healing is inspired.”
- Ron Kurtz

Trauma

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness...Trauma is about loss of connection—to ourselves, our bodies, our families, to others, and to the world around us. This disconnection is often hard to recognize because it doesn't happen all at once but rather over time.”
- Peter Levine

OCD

“A lot of people assume that having OCD means liking things organized or hating germs. It tends to be treated like a quirk or an endearing trait. But it's so much more than that. It's the one thing that prohibits me from being free of myself.” - Whitney Amazeen

ADHD

“Think of having ADHD in this way… You have a ‘Ferrari’ brain but with ‘Chevy’ brakes.”
- Jonathan Mooney
