Four Wings Psychology - Autism Therapy in Nepean

Neurodiversity-Affirming Support for Children, Teens, and Adults on the Autism Spectrum

Autistic individuals experience the world in unique and valuable ways, but they may also face challenges that make daily life, relationships, or transitions feel overwhelming. Whether you or your child has a diagnosis or is seeking one, therapy can offer support, understanding, and tools to navigate life more confidently.

At Four Wings Psychology, we offer compassionate, individualized therapy for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Nepean and online across Ontario. We meet each person where they are with curiosity, respect, and care.

What Is Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, processes information, and interacts with the world. Autism exists on a wide spectrum so that no two people experience it the same way.

Some common experiences include:

Sensory sensitivity or sensory-seeking behaviors
Difficulty with social communication or understanding social cues
Strong need for routine or predictability
Intense interests or “deep dives” into specific topics
Emotional dysregulation or meltdowns under stress
Anxiety or overwhelm in unstructured or unfamiliar environments
Difficulty with transitions or adapting to change

These traits aren’t flaws: they’re part of a different way of being. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” autism. Instead, it’s about supporting well-being, self-understanding, and connection.

Who We Support

At Four Wings Psychology, we work with:

Children and teens navigating school, friendships, or big emotions
Adults who were diagnosed late or are exploring self-identification
Parents and caregivers seeking support and strategies
Autistic individuals also dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma

Whether your needs are social-emotional, behavioral, or identity-focused, we adapt therapy to honor your goals and strengths.

Our Approach to ASD Therapy

We offer neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based therapy that respects your identity and autonomy. Our support may include:

Emotional regulation and coping strategies
Social-emotional learning (not masking or forcing “normal” behavior)
Sensory awareness and self-advocacy tools
Support for transitions (e.g., school, work, life changes)
Identity exploration and self-acceptance
Parent coaching and family systems support
Trauma-informed care for past misunderstandings or invalidation

We draw on therapeutic approaches such as CBT, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, and emotion regulation techniques always with flexibility and individualization.
