Neurodivergence Clinic Services

The Neurodivergence Clinic is organized to provide you with access to 5 categories of services: 

• Neurodivergence Assessments
• Individual Therapy
• Couples Therapy
• NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback
• ADHD and Executive Functioning Skills Coaching

Neurodivergence Assessments 

Assessments are organized around understanding a variety of neurodifferences, including: Autism, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), differences in learning (e.g., Learning Disorders), giftedness, and intellectual delay (e.g., Intellectual Disorder). 

Our assessors can provide psychodiagnostic, psychoeducational, and neuropsychological assessments to help understand neurodivergence, and related functioning. The assessments can be organized to support academic functioning, to provide workplace accommodations, to support treatment decisions (e.g., psychotherapy, occupational therapy, to assist medication prescribers), or to support disability related needs.

Individual Therapy 

Our psychologists, psychotherapists, doctoral residents, and counsellors are trained and skilled in providing different types of psychological treatments, adapted for you, through a neuroaffirming framework, and in a sensory-aware environment. Our approach is focused on building genuine, caring, and collaborative relationships with clients – strong working relationships are seen as the key to growth. 

Our experienced therapists recognize that each person has strengths, unique qualities, and particular needs. They will work with you to support your individual differences. Our therapists respect the diverse backgrounds of neurodiverse clients, to ensure that any approach is inclusive, and accessible. 

Our therapists offer a range of psychotherapy services tailored to meet the unique needs of each neurodivergent client. Clinicians will collaborate with you, to integrate evidence-based neuroaffirming therapy approaches to support personal growth, emotional well-being, to support individual sensory profiles, and strengthen interpersonal connection needs.Our team offers confidential, compassionate, and caring support that recognizes and respects diverse ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. We strive to create a safe, inclusive environment where every client, regardless of neurotype feels seen, heard, and empowered.  

Couples Therapy

Our psychologists, psychotherapists, doctoral residents, and counsellors are trained to provide confidential, compassionate, and caring neuroaffirming therapeutic relationship — one that creates a sense of safety and respect for each partner’s individual communication, sensory, and emotional needs.

Our couples therapy is tailored for relationships in which one or both partners are neurodivergent. We help you with your current couple relationship by supporting you to:

• Deepen emotional and physical connection – to strengthen emotional and physical closeness and intimacy, and shared understanding, with care to sensory or communication differences that support mutual comfort.
• Restore and sustain trust – to help heal from emotional injuries, breaches of privacy difficulties with trusting self or other.
• Enhance communication, problem solving, and conflict resolution – hone strategies that honour different communication and sensory styles, helping you navigate difficult conversations about daily issues and relationships, or moments of misunderstanding that arise from differences in communication or social processing.
• Strengthen co-parenting or shared caregiving: to help your couple develop clear and flexible parenting approaches, manage transitions, and build teamwork around routines and responsibilities.
• Navigate separation or relationship transitions with care – when relationships change, we can support you in maintaining respect, clear communication, and healthy co-parenting or new relationship communication and boundaries.

NeurOptimal^® Neurofeedback

NeurOptimal® is a cutting-edge form of Dynamical Neurofeedback® designed to support your brain’s natural ability to self-regulate. It provides real-time feedback to your brain, helping it become aware of its own activity. This allows your nervous system to naturally adjust and self-correct, and return to a more stable, flexible, and optimal state.

NeurOptimal® supports emotional and sensory regulation by assisting the brain in responding more flexibly to internal and external stimuli. It can help improve transitions and adjusting to changes, reduce stress responses, and build resilience in the face of sensory overwhelm. NeurOptimal® can also support with focus, impulse control, sustained attention, working memory, and overall cognitive flexibility. It may also promote relaxation, emotional balance, and greater resilience in the face of daily challenges. 

Our clinic integrates NeurOptimal® sessions into treatment plans as a supportive tool. More information on NeurOptimal® can be found by clicking here.
