As a trained School Psychologist and Early Childhood Evaluator and Specialist, Chantal brings insights and problem solving skills in helping children with autism.  

Autism and Aspergers can be treated with CBT and my Dicit therapy. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time.  

I have 44 years experience as a therapist in private practice, outpatient clinics and hospitals settings. With empathy, compassion, yet objectivity, I strive to help people gain/regain a positive sense of self and lead more productive, gratifying lives in their relationships and their work.   

Several of our clinicians have specific experience treating spectrum disorders.  

Many clients diagnosed with Autism and Asperger's have been helped to develop language, comprehension and social skills.  

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder. It affects a person's behavior, and often times makes communication and social interactions challenging. ASD can range from mild to severe. The type of symptoms and challenges a person has, and the level of challenge they pose, is different for each individual person. Some adults with ASD may not be able to function without a lot of help from parents or caregivers. Others may learn social and verbal skills and be able to care for themselves. Most people who have ASD will always have some trouble when they communicate or interact with others. Treatment for ASD has helped many people to lead the fullest and most productive life possible. I have worked with many people on the Spectrum, and assisted them in learning the practical, everyday skills needed to function and meet the demands of one's environment. These skills empower someone with ASD to effectively and independently take care of themself and to interact with other people in a meaningful way.  

I have over 10 years of experience working with neurodiverse children, adolescents and adults, mainly though music therapy. I use music to help clients access creativity and express challenging experiences and difficult emotions, including those who are non-verbal.
