Hi, I'm Anastasia—owner of Second Nature and mom to three neurospicy kids. I know the mental load of parenting kids who operate outside the box and yearning for that missing instruction manual. If you want a solution-focused, strengths-based approach to family wellness—mixed with caffeine—let's connect. I specialize in neurodiversity-affirming parent coaching.
I specialize in working with children, youth, and adults who would benefit from a space that understands neurodiversity and is accepting of multiple identities. Our space is home-like and offers safety for families who are looking for holistic care.
I happily accept clients both in-person and virtually across Ontario.

As a mother of three neurodivergent children, I know how hard it can be to parent positively, especially when you're struggling to get through the everyday! I provide psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and their caregivers who may be a little "neurospicey"!

I individualize treatment plans based on client profiles and do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. My interests are grounded in attachment theory, psychoanalytic theory, nature therapy, and person-centred care.
