Meet the Team

Autism is our passion.

At Autism Wellness, we provide services for individuals across the lifespan living anywhere in Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta, Canada. Our practice is rooted in the neurodiversity-affirming approach to care, which recognizes autism as a brain difference. We are ever-evolving to ensure our services reflect and honor the voices of the autistic community and the latest research in the field.

Most clinicians in Canada do not receive training in autism. As part of our mission, Autism Wellness is also a training site to equip clinicians in the neurodiversity-affirming approach. This means that we often have a psychology practicum student or trainee working alongside our team.

If a student is involved in your assessment or therapy process, it will always be with your consent and under the close supervision of a registered psychologist. We see this as an important part of our commitment to growing the next generation of professionals who provide respectful, affirming care for autistic and ADHD individuals.
