Gifted, Talented, Intense-minded (neurodivergent)
Of all ages
Our Team members have experience and training in the complexities of being identified/self-identifying as neurodivergent or "exceptional" (gifted, ADHD, ASD1, 2e, CPTSD, HSP, and Trauma).
Our therapists understand the challenges of existential thinking, heightened alert systems, anxiety, depression, executive function difficulty, and cyclic, intense thinking patterns that are difficult to express.
We provide neurodiversity affirming approaches.

Individual Children ages 6-12
Some therapists at the Centre work with younger children in individual and/or parent/child sessions using play, art, and creative expression in a child focused space, see our team page for each therapist's information.
As with our older clients, we highly value relationship and trust with the children we see and your therapist will discuss confidentiality policies and best practice for younger children in the intake process and on an ongoing basis to provide the best care to your child and family. Check our team profiles o see who works with younger children at the Centre.
For young people ages 12-20's:
Individual therapy
Most of our therapists have expertise in working with youth and young adults
Our online referral and matching process will help to guide you individually, or as a parent or caregiver to find the right fit.​​​
​
Ultimately, our unique, integrative approach to working with young people allows for agency and self-advocacy for youth, helps the therapist and youth to connect and build trust (a key factor in success of any therapeutic methodology), and supports long-term growth and the ongoing development of healthy adults.
​
Individual Adults, Couples, Parents/Caregivers, & Family Groups: Therapy & Support
Individual adult sessions, couples, parent, and/or family sessions are available at the Centre as well. Therapists are matched with clients based on their profile and availability, and on client request for a specific therapist.
We also offer parent and family workshops (for up to 16 participants) and family workshops (for 3-4 families in our workshop space)

Peer Groups & Parent Workshops
Peer groups create connections and build friendship. We offer a variety of groups for adults, parents, youth and teens. We also welcome independent groups to contact us to discuss use of our space!
​
Parent workshops are developed and facilitated by the team and incorporate up-to-date, evidence informed research and knowledge of brain and body connection.
