Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Diploma, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
One of my favourite metaphors for Autism is that it is like a salad bar. The diversity of experience in the Autistic community is wide and far-ranging, much like a plentiful salad bar filled with various veggies, dressings, and toppings that can be combined into an infinite number of salad options. As such, I aim to hold space for you to share and explore your experience.
Perhaps your experience includes lateral thinking, heightened sensory awareness, sensory overload, a love for the arts or cosplay, meltdowns or shutdowns, special interests, or exceptional abilities. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with many or some of these concepts and are trying to make sense of your experiences or wondering why you keep burning out. Perhaps you have a solid understanding of Autism but are frustrated by other aspects of life, such as anxiety, the need to mask, or the relenting demands of daily life in a world designed for non-autistic brains. Wherever you are, I aim to hold space for you to be seen, heard, and valued. I am here to support you in making sense of and finding ways to work with your Autistic self/brain.
If you'd like to learn more about how I can support you in your journey with Autism, check out my blog post on the R.I.S.E. framework.

Tamara Daniszewski
Registered Social Worker, M.ED, MSW, RSW
For autistic children, teens or adults, therapy is not about changing who you are. It is about building understanding, communication, emotional regulation and confidence in a world that often feels overwhelming or confusing. At Brookhaven Psychotherapy, we focus on strengths, sensory needs and real-world coping strategies.

Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I support autistic individuals through a trauma-informed, relational approach that honors neurodiversity and centers safety, curiosity, and respect. Rather than pathologizing difference, I work to understand how past experiences—including misattunement, sensory overwhelm, or relational trauma—may shape patterns of protection, shutdown, or self-expression. Together, we explore your inner world at your own pace, making space for emotional depth, self-understanding, and connection on your terms. My approach invites the integration of parts that may have felt unseen or misunderstood, fostering a greater sense of wholeness, autonomy, and belonging.

Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
Autism and Asperger's can be confusing in that they can present in so many diverse ways. Learning about their different presentations helps to build understanding in order to more confidently navigate life's challenges. If you're looking for therapy to work on difficulties surrounding autism please don't hesitate to reach out, it'd be wonderful to connect.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the center of Canada's most significant technology hub outside Toronto, home to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and dozens of major tech startups and scale-ups, creating persistent demand for therapists who work with innovation-sector burnout, high-stakes career pressure, and the psychological costs of startup culture. The region's growing immigrant population from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adds cultural diversity to therapy demand that the private therapy community is still catching up to reflect. Grand River Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside an active private therapy community. Kitchener's rapid diversification — beyond its German-heritage Oktoberfest identity — shapes a dynamic and evolving therapy culture.
