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.

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.

Haimove Amir
Registered Psychotherapist, psychotherapist
I provide individualized, neurodiversity-informed support for autistic children, teens, and adults, including individuals who identify with or have previously been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. My approach focuses on understanding the person rather than defining them by a diagnosis. Therapy may address communication, emotional regulation, anxiety, social relationships, self-confidence, sensory experiences, daily challenges, and family relationships. With children, I may use play-based and creative approaches to support communication and emotional expression. I also work with parents and families to better understand their child's strengths and needs and develop practical strategies that support connection, confidence, and meaningful participation in everyday life.

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.

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.
