Neurodiversity Therapy in Calgary

Support for ADHD, autism, and neurodivergent experiences in Calgary and online. At Refresh Counselling, we provide neurodiversity affirming therapy that honours your unique strengths and how your brain works.

Support That Embraces How You Think, Feel, and Thrive

Being neurodivergent isn’t a flaw, it’s a different and valid way of experiencing the world. Whether you’re living with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or another neurodiverse profile, you may have felt misunderstood, dismissed, or pressured to “fit in.”

You may have heard:

How does therapy help neurodivergent kids with autism, ADHD, or sensory differences?

Our team supports children and teens who experience autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, or sensory sensitivities by helping them build coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen social interaction skills. Therapy focuses on unique strengths, not changing who they are. We provide tools they can use at home, school, and in the community to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

What is a neurodiversity-affirming approach to autism therapy?

A neurodiversity affirming therapy approach celebrates different ways of thinking and learning. We do not try to “fix” autism. Instead, our therapists in Calgary help kids and families understand sensory needs, communication styles, and the amazing ways neurodivergent brains work. The goal is to support wellbeing and create environments where autistic children can thrive.

Do you work with schools or other professionals during autism therapy?

Yes, with your consent, we collaborate with teachers, school teams, and other professionals to support consistent strategies across environments. This ensures your child experiences understanding and success at home, school, and everywhere in between.

How do I know if Refresh Counselling is the right fit for my neurodivergent needs?

We offer a free consultation so you can meet a therapist, ask questions, and see if our neurodiversity affirming therapy aligns with your goals.

Do I need a formal diagnosis like ASD or ADHD to get support?

Not at all. Many clients are self-identified or exploring whether they may be neurodivergent. You are welcome just as you are.
