As an autistic therapist, I offer neurodivergent-affirming counselling for autistic adults, including late-diagnosed and self-identified autistic clients.

Autism and Asperger's
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.

Autism and Asperger's
Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Autistic adults often arrive in therapy having spent years translating themselves for a world that wasn't built with them in mind. I work with late-diagnosed clients, those who are questioning, and people who've simply been exhausted by the effort of fitting in. Sessions are direct, flexible, and won't ask you to be someone you're not.

Autism and Asperger's
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.

Vancouver's extreme housing affordability crisis has become a defining mental health issue, with therapists frequently addressing financial stress, housing precarity, and the grief of displacement from a city many can no longer afford to stay in. The city's large East Asian community — particularly its Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and South Asian populations — drives demand for culturally fluent therapists who can navigate family dynamics, immigration stress, and the intersection of cultural expectations with individual wellbeing. BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services provides institutional support, while Vancouver's large private therapy community is concentrated in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Commercial Drive, and the West End. BC's expanded telehealth access makes it easier to connect with therapists across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
