Hi! I’m Blaze Lazarony

  • Registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist #127882

I am a visionary leader and passionate advocate for neurodiversity. I am also the dynamic CEO and Founder of the Neurodiversity Network. My journey is a testament to resilience, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to empowerment through connection.

My educational path laid the foundation for a profound understanding of mental health. With a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and additional certifications in Neurodiversity, Trauma, and Brainspotting, I have equipped myself with the knowledge and tools to make a significant impact. I am inspired to delve deeper into understanding the unique challenges and strengths of individuals within the neurodiverse community.

Before founding the Neurodiversity Network, I held pivotal roles in various organizations, including high-level positions in Fortune 500 companies and non-profit organizations, and three therapy/coaching businesses: Blaze A Brilliant Path, Love on the Autism Spectrum, and Neurodiverse Executive Coaching.

Who is Barbara Blaze Lazarony as an individual?

My personal journey is also intertwined with my professional one. My passion for neurodiversity stems from my own experiences with neurodiversity, including Sensory Processing challenges, obsessive-compulsive disorder, complex trauma, as well as depression and anxiety. These challenges have become my strengths, fueling a drive to create spaces where neurodiverse individuals can thrive.

My Values & Vision

My values-led leadership style is characterized by empathy, inclusivity, and a forward-thinking mindset. I enjoy fostering a collaborative environment where team members are encouraged to share ideas and work together to drive the company’s mission forward. Through the Neurodiversity Network online community, I strongly believe in empowering the team and the community, ensuring every voice is heard and valued.

Looking to the future, I, Barbara Blaze Lazarony, aim to expand Neurodiverse Network offerings, including developing online group classes and educational webinars that further equip the Neurodiverse community with growth tools.
