Autism and Asperger's
Karen Davaz
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)
I work with ( parents of children with special needs, ) providing emotional support and practical coping skills that they can share with their family and loved ones. Drawing from both my professional training and my personal experience as a parent of an autistic son, I offer guidance and compassionate support for adults and families navigating Autism and Asperger’s. My approach focuses on understanding each person’s unique strengths, challenges, and communication style. Sessions may include strategies to reduce stress, enhance social connections, and support daily life skills—all within a respectful, strengths-based framework that celebrates neurodiversity.

Autism and Asperger's
Maggie Davidson
Psychologist, MC, Registered Psychologist
Your past does not have to be your future. Autism is a neurological difference that effects how you experience the world. Autism brings advantages and disadvantages. I can help you learn to use your strengths to compensate for your weak areas. Autistic people often struggle with social skills, but social skills like all skills, are things we can learn.
Autism means you have a different way of thinking and being in the world. If you are Autistic it is important that the professionals you are working with have a good understanding of neurodiversity in order that they can best support you. I have worked extensively with neurodiverse individuals and have a good understanding of Autism, ADHD, and other neurological differences. Please contact me if you would like to set up a free intake and we can get started on the process of helping you move forward with your future.

Edmonton's northern location and long, dark winters contribute significantly to seasonal depression and mood challenges, making therapists with expertise in SAD and mood disorders particularly sought after. The city's economy is closely tied to the energy sector, and residents face the psychological ripple effects of boom-bust economic cycles including job instability and financial anxiety. Edmonton has a large Indigenous population, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit clients are especially valued here. Alberta Health Services provides public mental health access, with a growing private practice community serving the city's expanding southern and west-end neighbourhoods.
