Guelph, Ontario therapist: Stacey Molengraaf, registered psychotherapist
Autism and Asperger's

Stacey Molengraaf

Registered Psychotherapist, Student RP (Qualifying), RPC-C (Candidate)
One of my favourite metaphors for Autism is that it is like a salad bar. The diversity of experience in the Autistic community is wide and far-ranging, much like a plentiful salad bar filled with various veggies, dressings, and toppings that can be combined into an infinite number of salad options. As such, I aim to hold space for you to share and explore your experience. Perhaps your experience includes lateral thinking, heightened sensory awareness, sensory overload, a love for the arts or cosplay, meltdowns or shutdowns, special interests, or exceptional abilities. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with many or some of these concepts and are trying to make sense of your experiences or wondering why you keep burning out. Perhaps you have a solid understanding of Autism but are frustrated by other aspects of life, such as anxiety, the need to mask, or the relenting demands of daily life in a world designed for non-autistic brains. Wherever you are, I aim to hold space for you to be seen, heard, and valued. I am here to support you in making sense of and finding ways to work with your Autistic self/brain. If you'd like to learn more about how I can support you in your journey with Autism, check out my blog post on the R.I.S.E. framework.

Beiseker, Alberta therapist: Jayne Batten, counselor/therapist
Autism and Asperger's

Jayne Batten

Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, RPC, MPCC
I define myself as a “neurodiversity affirming therapist” and feel absolutely honoured to work with neurodiverse individuals and couples. This means I understand and work with autism, ADHD and other neurodiverse groups through the lens of neuroscience. Autism is associated with differences in the brain which result in a divergence from neurotypical standards, in terms of how brains filter and make sense of information. I endeavour to help clients shed misplaced humiliation and a sense of failure by becoming conscious of and removing the notion that ‘typical’ traits are superior. It is the neurodiverse individuals in our society that move humanity along.

Autism and Asperger's

Tanisha Hall

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist
Having worked in the school system supporting children, youth as well as their family members I have seen how important it is to get support from someone who has knowledge and empathy around autism and aspergers. I really enjoy being able to support people with autism and/or aspergers in my role as a psychotherapist as I know I am able to offer both the skills and the empathy needed to make people's lives better.

Richmond Hill, Ontario therapist: Dr. Tali Shenfield, psychologist
Autism and Asperger's

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.
