Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
People with Autistic or Aspergers' symptoms are often the most sensitive among us. Life often feels much 'louder' and difficult to cope with but they can learn how to control those symptoms. There is so much we can do to 'normalize' these symptoms.

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Navigating life with ADHD, Austism, or other neurodivergent traits can often feel like a journey of self-discovery and adaptation. I personally understand these challenges, both from my own experience and from years of working with neurodivergent individuals. My approach blends an understanding of neuroscience with a compassionate, creative framework to support your unique needs. Whether you’re looking to enhance focus, develop coping strategies, heal related wounds, or explore how neurodivergence affects aspects of your life like sexuality, I work alongside you to develop a personalized, sustainable approach. My flexibility and experience in this area can help you feel empowered to thrive.

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.
