Autism
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.

Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
As your counsellor, I will explore your experiences through a neurodivergent-affirming lens and do not believe you need “fixing” in any way. Rather, I believe you have unique gifts to bring to the world. I help clients unpack what it's like to be neurodivergent in a neuro-normative society and develop the confidence and skills needed to navigate future challenges successfully. I am passionate about empowering clients to step into the truth of who they are unapologetically and with self acceptance. I support clients struggling with emotional regulation, overstimulation, relationships, self worth, and processing experiences of going undiagnosed and/or being misdiagnosed during your formative years. I offer in-person, virtual or walk and talk therapy. I would love to hear from you—head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation.
