Neurodivergent Support

What is Neurodivergent-Affirming Support?

This space is for neurodivergent clients—including those with ADHD, autism, and sensory processing differences—who want therapy that affirms, not fixes, their ways of being. Together we explore nervous system regulation, communication needs, and self-advocacy, empowering you to be intentional with when and where you are able to safely unmask.

​

The approach is PDA-informed, trauma-sensitive, and consent-based, valuing autonomy and self-understanding.​

Gina's Approach to Neurodivergent Support

Gina’s practice is centered on providing competent and compassionate care that affirms neurodiversity. Her career objective has long included a primary focus on supporting neurodivergent clients.

Her hands-on experience includes working as an Aide Worker for the Centre for Autism Services and supporting youth with diverse mental, emotional, and behavioural needs in various residential and outreach roles. She also utilizes her lived experience as a neurodivergent human parenting a neurodivergent human. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, she skillfully integrates nervous system regulation to help clients manage anxiety and sensory overwhelm.

Her affirming approach is supported by specialized training in:

• Autism Aide Training

• Queering Mental Health

• Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Mate

• An SE Perspective on Systemic Trauma and Shame

​

This background allows Gina to work flexibly and sensitively, creating a consent-based space where clients can explore their needs and build capacity.
