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.

Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
As a neurodivergent clinician, I bring lived experience and a trauma-focused approach to supporting autistic people. Being autistic can shape how you experience and process emotions, navigate relationships, and understand your internal world. You may have spent years feeling misunderstood, masking, or navigating experiences that have taken an emotional toll. My approach draws on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic approaches to help you process difficult experiences, work through trauma, and develop greater emotional regulation. Therapy is adapted to your needs, with the goal of helping you feel less burdened by difficult experiences, more emotionally regulated, and more at ease with yourself.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCAT, Certified Somatic Practitioner
Navigating a world that doesn't always accommodate your needs can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, and feeling misunderstood. I offer a neurodiversity-affirming space to explore sensory experiences, emotional regulation, relationships, and the impact of masking. Together, we work toward greater self-acceptance and ways of living that feel more authentic and sustainable.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed perspective ASD, like ADHD, is understood as whole mind and body dysregulation that results in an inability to quiet all of the noise internally and externally which creates difficulty in directing focus, starting, switching, and completing tasks, and organizing information in clear ways. ASD is not a maladaptive brain, it is a response to trauma (biological/mental/emotional) that has changed the way the brain and nervous system receive information. The work we can do will be to help you better understand your ADHD, learn how to work with your brain and body in ways that are more functional for your ASD, and resolve the root of what is driving the dysregulation in the first place.

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.

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Autism is experienced differently by everyone, and finding support that genuinely understands your individual needs can make a meaningful difference. Whether you or your child are navigating sensory sensitivities, communication differences, emotional regulation challenges, social relationships, or difficulty adjusting to change, you deserve a supportive environment where your experiences are understood and respected.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I bring extensive experience supporting autistic children and individuals with diverse developmental and behavioural needs. My background includes working as a Behaviour Interventionist, providing individualized support in educational settings, and collaborating with families, teachers, and multidisciplinary teams. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of the importance of recognizing individual strengths, adapting support strategies, and respecting different ways of experiencing the world.
My counselling approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. Rather than viewing autism as something that needs to be corrected, I focus on understanding each person's unique experiences, challenges, and goals. Together, we can explore emotional regulation, anxiety, self-esteem, communication, self-advocacy, and strategies for navigating everyday situations with greater confidence.
I also recognize the important role that family relationships, cultural expectations, and support systems can play in an autistic person's well-being. Whether you're seeking counselling for yourself or support for your child, my goal is to create a collaborative space where individual differences are respected and meaningful growth can occur.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to help you or your loved one build confidence, strengthen connections, and feel supported in navigating life's challenges.
