At Repose, we are deeply committed to providing affirming, compassionate, and informed care for neurodivergent individuals- including those with Autism, ADHD, or other forms of neurodiversity—across the lifespan. We recognize that every neurodivergent person’s experience is unique, and our approach celebrates this individuality while offering meaningful support and strategies that enhance wellbeing and daily life.

Our team includes clinicians with specialized training and experience in supporting neurodivergent children, youth, and adults. Whether you are seeking understanding, practical tools, or guidance in navigating life’s challenges, we are here to help in a way that honors who you are.

​

Our Approach:

 

Our clinicians use a neurodivergence-affirming and trauma-informed approach that focuses on acceptance, strengths, and self-understanding- not on “fixing” or “changing” core aspects of who you are. We work collaboratively to explore how your unique brain and nervous system operate, helping to build strategies for regulation, connection, and thriving.

​

We offer individual therapy and some other services in person or virtually across Newfoundland and Labrador, ensuring accessibility and comfort for all clients.

 

Services for Neurodivergent Clients:

 

Therapy & Play Therapy

• Our therapists provide individual and play-based therapy that supports emotional regulation, executive functioning, social communication, and self-understanding. For children and youth, play therapy offers a developmentally appropriate way to process emotions, explore identity, and build confidence in a safe, creative environment. For adults, therapy may focus on navigating burnout, sensory challenges, relationships, masking, and identity exploration.

 

Psychological Assessment

• Our psychologists provide comprehensive assessments that explore neurodivergence such as Autism and ADHD. Assessments can help clarify strengths and needs, and can guide therapy, school supports, workplace accommodations, and self-awareness. We understand that answers can be deeply validating and provide a foundation for more effective and affirming interventions. Our assessments are deigned to be strength based and affirming.

 

Occupational Therapy

• Our occupational therapists support clients in understanding and working with their sensory profiles, building daily living skills, and creating environments that promote comfort and success. This may include sensory regulation strategies, executive functioning supports, and routines that work with—rather than against—your natural rhythms and energy.

 

Speech-Language Therapy

• Our speech-language pathologists (SLPs) provide support for communication, social interaction, and self-expression in ways that honor each individual’s communication style. Whether that includes verbal, non-verbal, or multimodal communication, SLPs can help clients build confidence and connection through authentic expression.

​

Art Therapy 

• Our art therapist offers a creative, sensory-friendly space to explore emotions, identity, and lived experiences through the process of art-making. Art therapy can support emotional regulation, self-expression, and healing in ways that honour each person’s unique way of communicating and processing the world. It is especially supportive for those who find verbal expression challenging.
