Autism
Yanna Martinek
Counsellor/Therapist, R.C.C.
I work with autistic individuals navigating the impact of long-term masking and burnout. Many clients come feeling exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of what their needs actually are after years of adapting to others. Therapy focuses on gently untangling learned patterns of masking, rebuilding a sense of self-trust, and nervous system recovery.

Abbotsford is a Fraser Valley city bordering Washington state with a character shaped by its strong Mennonite and evangelical Christian heritage, a large Punjabi Sikh community that has made it home to one of Canada's most prominent South Asian populations outside the Vancouver core, and a rapidly growing suburban economy that has attracted families priced out of Metro Vancouver. University of the Fraser Valley offers psychology and counselling programs that contribute to the local mental health workforce, and Fraser Health provides public mental health services to the region. Mental health stigma has historically been significant in some of Abbotsford's religious and cultural communities, and faith-integrated therapy and culturally competent care—particularly for South Asian clients—are important considerations in the local landscape. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational family conflict, cultural identity, anxiety, economic stress, and the adjustment challenges of a community navigating the tension between traditional roots and rapid modern growth.
