Intervention

Our team specializes in supporting children, youth and young adults with ADHD, autism, emotion regulation, anxiety and mood concerns. Our approach focuses on supporting clients with identifying their strengths and needs and developing new ways to navigate the world and the challenges they face. We aim to develop genuine, caring, and collaborative relationships with clients that serve as the foundation for change, working together to identify goals and develop skills that work best for the individual. We also pride ourselves on providing neurodivergent affirming care, welcoming and celebrating the differences that people have while helping clients develop the supports and strategies they need to feel confident and happy in the world.
