ABOUT US
We are an inclusive space, offering support, education, and fostering connections for individuals of all ages, with or without a neurodivergence or any formal diagnosis. We offer specialized counselling for neurodivergent children, youth, adults and their families within, but not exclusively, areas like Autism support, parenting support, and ADHD services.
Our mission is to embrace and celebrate neurodiversity, affirming the unique strengths and talents that each individual brings to our community while also addressing the challenges they currently face with a strengths-based, empathetic and problem solving approach. Our practitioners are dedicated to providing Neuroaffirming care and continued professional development in the area of neurodiversity affirming practices. To learn more please check out our FAQ page.
When working with children and youth, we focus on a family centered approach and require the participation of at least one caregiver.
Note: We are unable to provide assessments at this time. Additionally, we do not provide Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy.
