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.

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.
