About Sabrina Longley

Hi, I’m Sabrina

I help therapists support their neurodivergent, BBIA, and fat clients with more nuance and less stigma.

Lets Talk
Lets Talk

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, consultant, and trainer. My work is rooted in lived experience (Black, late-diagnosed AuDHD, BPD, fat, queer, adopted) and years of clinical practice. I created Radical Insights Consulting because grad school left out the real shit.

People describe me as direct, wicked smart, easy to talk to, authentic, and capable of a great deal of nuance. I always endeavor to be creative, silly, human, and compassionate.

If you're tired of guessing whether you're "doing it right" and want real, nuanced support —let's work together.

My story

I knew from a young age that I wanted to help people, though I struggled with knowing how. As an adopted, fat, Black, undiagnosed Neurodivergent young woman with a deeply unsupportive family, I worried I could never help anyone in the way that I had needed help.

Despite those insecurities, psychology was deeply interesting to me. Partway through my undergraduate studies, my therapist helped me understand how my attachment trauma was showing up as BPD. I attended a DBT course that changed (and saved) my life.

Throughout undergrad, I learned more about Neurodivergence, DBT (from the clinician side this time), and my identity as a Black woman. Shortly after graduation, I was diagnosed ADHD (as well as finding out about a math learning disability) and began to identify my autistic traits.

I finally found how I could help people. I could listen, validate, and share a hard-won perspective on a complex field.

The “Official” Bio

And Land Acknowledgement

Born and mostly raised on Mánu: Yį Įsuwą (Catawba), Lumbee Skaruhreh/Tuscarora, Cheraw, Occaneechi, and Shakori lands (colonially known as the Triangle Area of North Carolina), I obtained my bachelor's in Psychology from North Carolina Central University and my masters in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Why I Consult & Train Therapists

I love working with my clients, and I kept hearing from other therapists:

  • How do I figure out this self disclosure shit?

  • How do I support vulnerable, queer, neurodivergent, Black and Brown clients in this current political climate?

  • How do I check my privilege if I can’t ask questions?

  • How do I stop stigmatizing BPD so I can be truly neurodivergent affirming?

And I decided to take my hard won lived and clinical experience and share it with you.
