Presented by: Nyck Walsh, LPC

Nyck Walsh has been a leader for 14 years in bringing somatic, anti-ableist, trauma-informed care to Autistic children, adults, and families. They founded The Infinite U in 2009 after a most profound experience of teaching a yoga class to families with Autistic kids. In that hour, Nyck’s most shamed parts, specifically their gentleness, sensitivity, and seriousness, became true assets, and they witnessed kids and parents go from deep distress and isolation to a state of heightened calm, safety, and belonging. Originally formed in NJ, Nyck brought The Infinite U to Colorado while they pursued their graduate studies at Naropa University in Somatic Counseling Psychology, with a concentration in Body Psychotherapy. Over time, The Infinite U grew to include somatic counseling for kids, teens, and parents, community-oriented social groups for teens, summer camp programs, and family support that included groups for Autistic teens, their non-autistic siblings, and their parents. All of this work centered on Neurodivergent and Autistic people.

Through the pandemic and the shift to virtual work, The Infinite U transformed into Nyck Walsh Counseling and Training Center, focusing on individual work with adults and training clinicians, and is now located in Massachusetts. Their work, bringing a compassionate and accurate lens to Neurodivergent people, has created a large national following among clinicians wishing to expand their ability to serve Neurodivergent clients.

Nyck’s identities include white, Autistic, queer, trans, and Jewish. As a somatic, anti-oppression counselor, Nyck brings these values into their counseling and trainings. They acknowledge how their sociocultural locations inform their lived experience as an individual and as a clinician. They are deeply passionate about supporting late identified Autistic folx, especially helping people socialized as girls and women to unpack their lives through the lens of their unidentified and misunderstood Autistic experience. Nyck attributes so much of their personal and professional growth to their clients, who are by far their greatest teachers and the experts on Autism and ADH. When not advocating for marginalized people's individual and collective rights, Nyck can be found frolicking in the forest or beach, delighting in sensory pleasure, feeling big love for their family, or basking in solitude with their noise-canceling headphones.
