Isabella Weiss
In-Person & Online Counselling
Hello, I’m Isabella!
I am an experienced therapist and social worker who aims to create a safe environment where folks can make sense of their thoughts and feelings. Over the past several years working in community mental health, I’ve supported children, youth, and families from diverse backgrounds, life circumstances, and abilities. My style is collaborative and I use a range of therapeutic strategies to provide care that is thoughtful and tailored. I believe it's important to allow space for humor and connection; even in hard times, a bit of silliness and playfulness can be comforting and meaningful! Together we can explore tools to support your growth and resilience.
Outside of my professional role, I love spending time with family and pets, being outdoors, watching movies, and getting creative—usually making a big mess in the process! I recently moved from Toronto to the Okanagan and am excited to put down roots in such a beautiful place.
If you're interested or have questions about my approach, I’d be happy to connect further and see if we’re a good fit.

Building A Life That Works WITH You
Why Counselling Can Help for Neurodiverse Individuals
Navigating life as a neurodiverse person comes with unique strengths and challenges. Counselling provides a space where you don’t have to mask, explain, or struggle to fit into neurotypical expectations. Instead, it helps you build a life that works for you.
Counselling can help by:
- Providing Strategies That Fit You – Support tailored to your brain, whether it’s managing executive function, emotional regulation, or sensory overwhelm.
- Encouraging Self-Acceptance – A space to unmask, explore your identity, and embrace your unique way of thinking.
- Preventing Burnout – Learning to manage energy, set boundaries, and reduce stress in ways that align with your needs.
- Offering Validation & Support – Being understood and guided by someone who truly gets neurodiversity can make all the difference.
Seeking support isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about creating a more sustainable, fulfilling way of living.
Why Caregivers Seeking Support Matters Too
Caring for a neurodiverse loved one can be both rewarding and overwhelming. Therapy offers caregivers a space to process their experiences, gain guidance, and prioritize their own well-being.
Counselling can help by:
- Providing Emotional Support – A non-judgmental space to express frustration, exhaustion, and the challenges of caregiving.
- Offering Practical Strategies – Helping you navigate daily struggles while maintaining a supportive, balanced approach.
- Preventing Burnout – Tools to manage stress, set boundaries, and take care of yourself without guilt.
Supporting someone with neurodiversity is meaningful, but it doesn’t have to come at the cost of your own well-being. When caregivers are supported, everyone benefits.

Focus on relational, attachment-based, and neuroscience-informed approaches, drawing inspiration from the work of Dan Hughes, Daniel J. Siegel, Ross Greene and others. It is important to my practice to regularly seek guidance from supervisors and experts in attachment-based and specifically trauma informed modalities, and I actively participate in group learning opportunities to collaborate with other clinicians and stay current with best practices in the field.
