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.

Thunder Bay is a northwestern Ontario city that functions as the primary urban centre and service hub for a vast region of the Canadian Shield, and it has one of the highest urban Indigenous populations of any Canadian city—both permanent residents and individuals who travel hundreds of miles from remote reserves to access healthcare, education, and services. The city has faced significant challenges with Indigenous youth mental health and suicide, violence, and the mental health impacts of colonization and intergenerational trauma from residential schools, and these concerns are central to the local mental health landscape. Lakehead University's Indigenous studies programs contribute to a growing body of decolonized mental health approaches, and regional services work to address significant unmet need. Common therapy concerns include Indigenous trauma and intergenerational residential school effects, geographic isolation, substance use, depression, and the complex grief of a community navigating both the legacy of colonial harm and ongoing racism and marginalization.
