Autism
Justin Mulder
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
I work with autistic clients from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective. That means therapy isn’t about trying to make you appear more “typical,” but about understanding how your mind processes the world and building a life that actually supports that. We might explore things like sensory overwhelm, burnout, masking, communication differences, or the exhaustion that can come from constantly adapting to environments that weren’t designed with you in mind. If you’ve spent a lot of time feeling like you have to push yourself to fit into spaces that don’t quite fit you, therapy can be a place where you finally get to work from the assumption that your way of being makes sense.

I offer an affirming, judgment-free space for autistic adults to explore identity, relationships, communication, and self-understanding — without needing to mask or perform. We'll work at a pace that respects how you naturally think and connect, using strengths-based and relational approaches tailored to you rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Bonny Kaman Li
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Therapy for autistic adults focuses on understanding your own neurotype without pathologizing it, while addressing co-occurring anxiety, burnout, or masking fatigue. Support is tailored to how you process the world, not a one-size-fits-all model.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: Neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, emotion-focused support.
I provide a supportive space to explore emotional regulation, social experiences, relationships, identity, stress, and self-acceptance. The focus is not on changing who the client is, but on understanding their individual needs, reducing distress, and developing strategies that work for them.

Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future Counselling Centre, we provide compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming care for children, youth, and adults on the Autism spectrum (including what was traditionally diagnosed as Asperger's). Drawing on over 20 years of clinical experience, my approach focuses on celebrating unique cognitive profiles while providing practical, evidence-based tools to navigate a world that is often not built for neurodivergent minds.
For autistic children and youth, challenges often manifest around school transitions, sensory processing overload, social communication, and intense emotional regulation hurdles. In our sessions, I integrate specialized play-based techniques, creative art therapy, and tailored Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. This allows young clients to safely explore social dynamics, build self-regulation strategies, and reduce the deep exhaustion caused by social masking.
We also work closely with families through parent coaching to create supportive, predictable home environments that minimize meltdowns and reinforce communication. For adult individuals on the spectrum, our focus shifts to mastery over executive dysfunction, cultivating relationships, and navigating major life transitions with confidence. Let's work together to unlock your or your child's full potential—contact me today for a free 15-minute consultation.
