Therapy Services

Autism is not treated. However, it can be challenging to live in a world that is not always designed to support differences in brain styles and social preferences. We are here to help you optimize your wellness and achieve your goals in a way that honors your authenticity and values.

We also believe that treating any co-occurring conditions such as anxiety and depression in autistic individuals is best supported by a clinician who has a deep understanding of autism.

We offer 50-minute psychotherapy sessions. These sessions can cover an array of areas such as:

  • discovering one’s authentic self

  • building a better understanding of sensory processing differences and developing sensory-friendly environments

  • building greater social awareness in interpersonal relationships

  • working with and treating co-occurring conditions

  • forming more meaningful relationships

  • unmasking

  • achieving academic and career success

  • strategies for ADHD and differences in executive functioning

  • optimizing brain health and healthy lifestyle habits

  • working with evidence-based therapies in a flexible and tailored way (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy)

Fee: $250/ session (as a psychological service, this is most often covered through insurance plans)

We hope to offer a sliding scale (reduced fee) in the near future, if you would like to join our waitlist, please email us at info@autismwellness.ca
