Eileen Deswiage
Counsellor/Therapist, BSc., MSc., RTC., MTC., Registered Counseling Supervisor
Autism presents differently in every individual, and support should honor each person’s unique way of thinking, processing, communicating, and experiencing the world. Using a neurodiversity-affirming approach, counselling focuses on emotional regulation, sensory understanding, anxiety support, relationships, identity, burnout recovery, and helping individuals and families build practical supports that create greater connection and well-being.

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.

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.

Saskatoon is Saskatchewan's largest city and an emerging hub for agriculture technology, mining, and biotechnology — sectors that shape a therapy landscape distinct from more diversified Canadian metros. The city has a significant Indigenous population, with First Nations and Métis residents comprising a larger proportion of urban residents than in most Canadian cities outside Winnipeg, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care — including work on intergenerational trauma from residential schools — are an especially important part of the local mental health landscape. Saskatchewan Health Authority provides public mental health services, while the University of Saskatchewan's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local community. Saskatoon's cold winters and geographic isolation contribute to seasonal mood challenges that therapists here address as a recurring clinical priority.
