When the World Wasn't Built for Your Brain
You’ve masked your needs, pushed through overwhelm, and questioned yourself for not fitting into systems that weren’t built for your brain. Maybe you’ve been told to “just try harder”, or made to feel like you’re broken for being different. Over time, the pressure to perform, shrink, or explain yourself wears you down. You’re not weak, you’re tired. And it’s lonely carrying so much of who you are in silence.
Does this sound familiar?
- Exhaustion from constantly masking or trying to "fit in"
- Struggling with routines, transitions, or unexpected changes
- Feeling misunderstood, isolated, or "too much" for others
- Challenges with focus, executive functioning, or follow-through
- Shame or self-doubt from not meeting neurotypical expectations
- Wanting to feel confident and at home in your own mind
We Help You Heal
Feel More Confident in Yourself by Understanding How Your Brain Works
How Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy Can Support You
Welcome to a safe space where you don’t have to mask or change who you are. We honour your lived experiences, adapt to your needs, and focus on what works for your life. Whether you’re navigating overwhelm, burnout, or feeling misunderstood, we’re here to support you with respect and flexibility. This is a space where you can show up fully as yourself and be met with care, not correction.
As you continue your therapy journey, you may notice:
- Reduced masking and feeling more at ease in your daily life
- Gaining clarity around identity, values, and strengths
- Learning emotional regulation in ways which honour you
- Better navigating burnout, overwhelm, and life transitions
- Exploring growth and goals without pressure to fix or conform

Frequently Asked Questions
Does your team specialize in other treatment areas?
Yes our team does specialize in various treatment areas! Explore our Therapy Services here.
What is the cost of therapy and is it covered by insurance?
We offer in-person and online counselling services for individuals and relationships. See our rates here.
Many benefit programs cover the cost of Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs). Please check with your benefits provider to see if this is available to you.
We offer direct billing options to certain insurance companies. If direct billing is not an available option, we provide a detailed receipt following each session. Follow your insurers instructions for submitting the receipt through your extended health benefits plan (often this can be done online).
We invite you to contact us with any questions to explore these options.
What is the rescheduling and cancellation policy?
We kindly require 48-hours notice for cancellation or rescheduling to ensure fairness to you, your counsellor, and other clients. Our cancellation fee is the full cost of the counselling session.
Where is As You Are Counselling located?
Our clinic is located in Langley, next to the 200 Street highway exit. We are easily accessible from Surrey, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford and other surrounding cities.
We also offer the convenience of online counselling for those who cannot make it in-person.
Learn more on our Contact page.
How many sessions does it take before I start to feel better?
This really depends on the issue at hand and the context in which you are experiencing the problem. At the first session, you and your counsellor will discuss the optimal frequency and likely duration of counselling. With more complex and long standing issues, you will likely need more sessions to untangle things and build up internal stability.
Therapy is a process. That said, most of our clients experience some relief early on in the therapy process, and indicate that they are experiencing positive shifts in their lives after 4-6 sessions.
