"Working with Tessa has truly been life-changing. From our very first session, Tessa met me with deep empathy, understanding, and zero judgment. She created a safe space where I could unpack everything I was feeling without needing to mask or explain myself. Through our work together, I've developed better tools for self-regulation, identified my triggers more clearly, and learned how to advocate for myself in a world that isn't always built for neurodivergent minds.

I can't express enough gratitude for the impact she's had on my life. I finally feel seen, supported, and empowered to show up as my authentic self."

Key Features

How Our Telehealth Model Works Across Ontario

Virtual OT across Ontarioβ€”including Toronto, Ottawa, and remote areas. Sessions are led by licensed OTs with registration recognized by the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario (COTO). We support late-identified Autistic teens and adults with ND-affirming careβ€”no commute needed.

  • Neurodiversity Affirming

    A strengths-based approach that honours everyone’s unique wiring. Our supports focus on collaboration and empowerment, promoting authentic self-expression and well-being without pathologizing or forcing conformity.

  • Autism Isn't Just Pediatric

    We get that Autistic people grow up too. Navigating identity, burnout, sensory overload, executive functioning, or self-advocacy? We offer practical supports for daily lifeβ€”from routines and relationships to rest and regulation.

  • Function-Forward Therapy

    If previous therapies left you without clarity or practical next steps, OT bridges that gap. We blend self-understanding with actionβ€”gentle skill-building, systems and tools, functional interdependence, and accommodationsβ€”to help you actually "do the thing".
