Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
People with Autistic or Aspergers' symptoms are often the most sensitive among us. Life often feels much 'louder' and difficult to cope with but they can learn how to control those symptoms. There is so much we can do to 'normalize' these symptoms.

Autism
Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
I provide a warm, respectful, and neurodiversity-affirming space for clients on the autism spectrum, including those who identify with Asperger’s. I understand that each individual experiences the world differently and believe that therapy should celebrate those differences rather than try to change them.
Using an integrative approach I support clients in developing practical coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and enhancing communication and social skills in ways that feel authentic and empowering. My approach focuses on identifying personal strengths, building confidence, and supporting self-advocacy.
I strive to offer a compassionate and accepting environment where neurodivergent clients can explore challenges, nurture self-understanding, and build meaningful, fulfilling lives—on their own terms.

Psykhe Psychotherapy

Online in Halifax, NS Nova Scotia (Online Only)
Halifax is Atlantic Canada's largest city and a hub for universities, the military, and ocean-tech industries, creating a therapy community serving students, naval personnel, and knowledge workers navigating the pressures of high-achieving careers in a smaller city. Dalhousie University and Canadian Forces Base Halifax generate distinct demand for therapists who specialize in academic stress, military trauma, and the particular challenges of military family life. Nova Scotia Health provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the South End, Bedford, and Dartmouth. Halifax's relatively small size means specialist therapist availability can be limited in some areas, and telehealth has become especially important for accessing care across Atlantic Canada.
