Drew & Garden System interview Katie Keech, MFT on the intersections of neurodivergence with DID, autism, and ADHD.

Katie Keech, MFT, whose pronouns are They/Them, has over twenty years of professional experience in both community mental health and private practice. They have managed emerging adult community mental health programs and forensic programs.

In the late 1990’s they were diagnosed with DDNOS then later DID. After much clinical and personal work, they identify as part of a plural system. In private practice they currently specialize in severe dissociative disorders, plurality and complex PTSD as well as autism and adhd from a neurodiversity affirmative framework.

Katie is also the co founder of The Refractory, a recently started think tank for clinicians with lived experience DID/OSDD/Plurality, which aims to transform the mental health landscape.

Katie is also a Fully Professed Member of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc., a 45-year-old global order of queer nuns.
