Psychotherapy Services
At Autism Wellness, we believe that autism is not something to be treated. But we also know it can be exhausting to live in a world not always designed to support different brain styles, sensory needs, and social preferences.
Our neurodiversity-affirming therapy services are here to help you optimize your wellness, build resilience, and achieve your goals — in ways that honor your authenticity and values.
We are also a gender-affirming clinic. Our team supports people of all identities and experiences with warmth, respect, and care.
👉 Most of our therapy services are currently offered virtually through secure video sessions, available to clients across Ontario, Alberta, and Quebec.
