Or perhaps explore how your ADHD or
Autism
has impacted your relationships, learning, or employment.
Are you someone who is yearning to become their best selves in a safe, judgement-free environment. Sometimes it is important to feel heard and understood. I provide safety by creating a warm and emotionally engaged relationship where you are valued and respected. When dealing with overwhelming emotions, I want you to feel seen, heard and understood. I want to work with you to discover how past experiences have shaped who you are now. If you want help in leading you to self-discovery, I believe we all have the potential to make something constructive and meaningful with our life.
Toni Lui
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Verified
I support young people and adults with anxiety and depression, relationship challenges, as well as new and expecting parents, and families with a child diagnosed with
autism
or other childhood disability.
Life transitions can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed. Becoming a new parent, navigating new relationships and family dynamics, receiving a life changing diagnosis, attending a new school, entering a new life stage, career change, relocation, or experiencing loss can bring up many challenging emotions such as loneliness, fear, grief, anxiety, and depression. It can be hard to appreciate life’s finer moments when we are overwhelmed by our emotions, thoughts, and others' perceptions and expectations of us. These feelings can affect the way we live, learn, parent, maintain relationships, and function in our every day lives.

Holding it Together
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP
Verified
I work exclusively with autistic and queer & trans neurodivergent people. As an autistic, trans & queer therapist, I don't ‘treat’
autism
or gender divergence. I treat the trauma caused by neurodisablism & sanism, cissexism & heterosexism. Instead helping you ‘adapt’ or ‘hide’ your ‘differences’ to “fit in” to neurotypical culture, I support you to diverge, to find your other way, and find your way to others. Together we can turn the tables on disablement & pathologization from the inside out and the outside in.

Jennifer Pearson
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
Verified
I work with families of children who: are highly sensitive; have histories of trauma or loss (including adoption); have behavioural or developmental challenges; are on the
Autism
spectrum; are neurodivergent; etc.
Nothing ever really prepares us as parents for the times when things don't go as we had hoped for with our child - particularly in regard to developmental, behavioural, or mental health issues that we are faced with. I'm here to help shoulder some of the weight you've been carrying, and provide a bridge for you in helping your child to reach their full potential. Everything can be broken down into small and manageable steps, and even small shifts can produce significant change and offer much needed relief. Please note that I am currently focusing on children who are 0 to 5 years of age, as well as working through my waitlist.
