Our Mission

A safe space where you can put down the mask without being pathologized, rushed, or asked to become someone you’re not.

At Accord Psychology, we provide thoughtful, personalized support for adults and couples, grounded in neuro-affirming and trauma-informed values. Our approach is adapted to honour different nervous systems, identities, lived experiences, and ways of being.

We most often work with neurodivergent people, including those who identify with autism, ADHD, AuDHD, giftedness, c-PTSD, and OCD. That being said, we welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds. You don’t need a diagnosis to work with us — just a desire for therapy that meets you where you are.

In addition to our focus on neuro-affirming and trauma-informed practices, we are committed to offering care that is 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally-responsive and anti-oppressive.
