Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Individuals on the autism spectrum may experience challenges with communication, sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation, social interactions, and navigating daily life demands. Therapy provides a supportive and neurodiversity-affirming space to build self-understanding, strengthen coping skills, support emotional well-being, and foster meaningful connections. We recognize and respect the unique strengths and experiences of each individual.

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.

Kyana Dyaji
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, ADHD-CCSP
There is no 'one size fits all' treatment for individuals with Autism, everyone is unique in their own way. I am a Neurodiversity Aware therapist, and support individuals with autism and/or their families to learn effective strategies to manage the symptoms that interfere with their functioning, intending to improve their overall functioning in otherwise difficult situations.

Seasons Family centre
Psychologist, RCC, RPsych
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a child perceives and interacts with the world around them. It can impact social communication, behaviour, and the way they engage with others. Each child with ASD is unique, and the severity of symptoms varies widely. Some children may have challenges in social interactions, difficulty with verbal and non-verbal communication, and exhibit repetitive behaviours or restricted interests.
At Seasons Family Centre, we understand that early intervention and accurate assessment are crucial for children with ASD. We offer ASD assessments for children as young as 12 months old to young adulthood (~25 years of age).
These assessments enable us not only to diagnose ASD but also to determine the extent of their unique needs. They offer parents and caregivers a clear understanding of their child’s strengths and challenges, and provide access to a range of developmental supports aided by provincial funding.
