Autism and Asperger's

Maggie Davidson

Psychologist, MC, Registered Psychologist

Your past does not have to be your future. Autism is a neurological difference that effects how you experience the world. Autism brings advantages and disadvantages. I can help you learn to use your strengths to compensate for your weak areas. Autistic people often struggle with social skills, but social skills like all skills, are things we can learn. Autism means you have a different way of thinking and being in the world. If you are Autistic it is important that the professionals you are working with have a good understanding of neurodiversity in order that they can best support you. I have worked extensively with neurodiverse individuals and have a good understanding of Autism, ADHD, and other neurological differences. Please contact me if you would like to set up a free intake and we can get started on the process of helping you move forward with your future.

Dr. Tali Shenfield

Psychologist, PhD, C.Psych.

Our team has developed expertise in providing autism spectrum assessments for children and teenagers, aged 6-16. An accurate assessment is crucial in developing a comprehensive understanding of your child's unique strengths and challenges, which guides the course of tailored therapeutic approaches. We understand that these conditions can present unique challenges, affecting every aspect of a child's life, from social interaction and communication to flexibility in thought and behavior. These challenges can often lead to feelings of frustration, misunderstanding, and isolation, not just for the individuals diagnosed, but also for their parents and family members. We provide therapy services for individuals with high functioning Autism and Asperger's syndrome. Our services are pivotal in enhancing the lives of young individuals with these conditions and providing much-needed support for their families. We implement a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual's unique needs, focusing on social skills training, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and parent coaching. Our treatments aim to improve communication skills, enhance social interaction, foster independence, and encourage personal growth. For parents, we offer guidance and strategies to better understand and support your child’s unique needs. We provide resources and education, helping you navigate the complexities of these conditions and become your child's best advocate. Our aim is to help your child navigate life with Autism or Asperger's Syndrome, not just manage, but to flourish and thrive. We believe that every child deserves the chance to live their best life, and we're committed to helping you and your child overcome the challenges posed by Autism or Asperger's Syndrome and achieve full potential. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your child. Remember, you're not alone; we're here to guide you every step of the way.

Shasha Weir

Counsellor/Therapist, RSSW

Individuals with Autism and Asperger's face unique challenges when it comes to social interaction, communication, and behavior. These conditions can often be misunderstood or misdiagnosed, leading to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression. I work with individuals with Autism and Asperger's to help them better understand and manage their lives. My approach is to emphasize the importance of early detection and intervention, as well as ongoing support and care throughout the lifespan. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or a loved one, my goal is to provide a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your feelings, develop coping strategies, and build meaningful connections with others.
