About Nicole Ali

I am passionate about providing neurodiversity affirming assessments for children (6+), adolescents, and adults. I believe that each individual knows themselves best, and that your lived experience is valid. As a late-diagnosed Autistic person, I understand the value of modern approaches to understanding and identifying neurodivergence and recognize how important this can be for neurodivergent individuals in understanding themselves and for navigating life’s challenges. 

 

I also provide therapy services to children and adolescents with a variety of concerns and support needs. I regularly work with youth who experience challenges related to stress/anxiety, difficulty with interpersonal relationships, low mood, and low self-esteem. While my primary passion is working with youths themselves, I can also provide support to parents/caregivers. As a BIPOC member of the queer community, it is also important to me to provide a safe space for marginalized youth and their families.
