Dr. Hogan earned her Master’s Degree and her Doctor of Psychology Degree from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, an APA-Accredited program. Dr. Hogan completed her doctoral training at a college counseling center, outpatient clinics, a community mental health center, and an inpatient psychiatric hospital. Dr. Hogan then went on to complete her APA-Accredited Pre-Doctoral Internship at the Indian Healthcare Resource Center of Tulsa. She completed her Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Streamwood Behavioral Healthcare System, an inpatient psychiatric hospital.
Dr. Hogan has now been doing Autism and ADHD assessments for over a decade. Her primary passionate interest for many years has been Autism identification in women, trans/non-binary folks, and marginalized communities. As a therapist, she loves working with high-achieving AuDHDers that are navigating developing a positive neurodivergent identity, building a sustainable and balanced life, and preventing burnout.
After her post-doc, she served as the Assistant Director of Training at Pediatric Minds Medical Center, and she was the Testing Coordinator at the Early Childhood Treatment Center. She founded Neuron & Rose in 2021, developing a safe space to provide comprehensive neurodiversity-affirming care and training programs for psychologists-in-training. She continues to give back through her work as an adjunct professor, teaching assessment in Clinical PsyD programs at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and Alliant International University. She is thrilled to serve on several dissertation committees, and to have conducted a research study of her own on Autistic therapists, which is now published in the peer-reviewed journal Autism in Adulthood. She is an international public speaker and educator, presenting on topics such as neurodiversity-affirming assessment and late identification. Her work often integrates creative storytelling (including a Little Mermaid–inspired presentation) to make complex concepts more accessible and impactful. She founded The Divergent Clinician in 2024.
She spends most of her spoons on making sure her practice and The Divergent Clinician run relatively smoothly. However, when she isn’t meeting with her team and furiously trying to learn the business side of things that was never taught in grad school, Dr. Hogan enjoys aerial arts, learning the art of war via a chess board, cups of herbal tea while reading the latest BOTM pick, and discovering new hyperfixations, like sword yoga. She is the type of person who can easily fall in to a peaceful sleep to a true crime podcast. She feels extremely uncomfortable in environments where talking about Star Wars is socially inappropriate. Dr. Hogan can also occasionally be found frolicking about on roller skates, rocking out in the car to nu-metal artists from the 2000s, fantasizing about getting new tattoos, and pretending like she knows how to rock climb.
