Autism Support in Toronto
At Counselling & Behaviour Services, we offer neurodiversity-affirming psychotherapy tailored to the unique needs of children, teens, and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We understand that autism is not a deficit, but a different way of experiencing the world—and our approach reflects that. Our therapists are trained to work with a wide range of communication styles, sensory profiles, and processing differences. Sessions may include visual supports, concrete language, structured routines, and alternative forms of expression such as drawing, scripting, or movement-based regulation strategies.
How We Support Individuals with Autism
We support clients with challenges such as emotional regulation, anxiety, rigid thinking, social overwhelm, and transitions in school, work, or home life. For individuals who’ve had negative experiences with traditional therapy or who struggle to connect in typical talk-based settings, we provide a flexible and respectful environment where masking is not expected and authenticity is encouraged.
We also work closely with parents and caregivers to support the generalization of skills, reduce family stress, and foster understanding across home, school, and community settings. Whether therapy is about building coping strategies, developing self-advocacy, or simply creating space to process life’s challenges, our goal is to meet each client where they are—and walk alongside them at their own pace.
