Support for children, teens and adults

For children, sessions are often play-based. Our team includes a Certified AutPlay® Provider, and parents and caregivers are part of the process so strategies carry over into daily life. Teens get their own space to talk about school, friendships and who they are becoming.

For adults, therapy often focuses on making sense of the past, letting go of years of self-criticism and building systems that work with your brain. Approaches may include CBT, emotion-focused therapy, mindfulness and practical coaching-style strategies.

Some families also explore NeurOptimal® neurofeedback, offered at our Milton office, as a complement to therapy.

What sessions can look like

Therapy for neurodivergent clients is practical and flexible. Sessions may include visual tools, movement breaks, written summaries, or shorter check-ins, depending on what works for you. Your therapist will ask how you prefer to communicate and adjust, rather than expecting you to adapt to a standard format.

For adults, early sessions often explore your history: how school, work and relationships felt, what you were told about yourself, and what strategies you've already tried. Many people describe relief at finally understanding why some things have always felt harder. From there, the work turns to what you want to change, whether that's managing overwhelm, building routines, setting boundaries, or reducing burnout from years of masking.

For parents, sessions can focus on understanding your child's sensory and emotional needs, responding to meltdowns, and working with your child's school. Parents of neurodivergent children often carry a lot on their own, and making space for your own wellbeing is part of the support.

A note on diagnosis

Our therapists provide therapy and support; they do not diagnose ADHD or autism. In Ontario, those assessments are done by physicians, psychiatrists or psychologists. You don't need a diagnosis to work with us, and we're happy to support you before, during or after an assessment.
