Camille Long - Registered Clinical Counsellor / Registered Social Worker

I am a wife, mother, and AuDHD-er in a neurodiverse family. In my home I am continually learning the healing power of play and connection; the importance of my own regulation and health; what it means to have unconditional acceptance, love, and compassion for myself and others; and, the importance of doing the work to address my own history to be the parent my kids need and deserve. These experiences fuel my passion for the work that I do in supporting other individuals, couples, and families.

As a Registered Social Worker. Registered Clinical Counsellor, and Certified Brainspotting Therapist, my therapeutic orientation is informed by the following:

Brainspotting (a gentle yet powerful somatic processing and integration modality used for both trauma and expansion work)

Internal Family Systems (IFS; parts work) & Family Systems Theory

Relational Life Therapy (RLT)

Mindfulness and Self-Compassion

Polyvagal Theory

The Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) Model

Attachment Theory

The Neurodiversity Paradigm (non-ABA)

Holism (bio-psycho-social-spiritual; energy work)

The lived experiences of neurodivergent individuals

Neuroscience

I am committed to helping parents, educators, and service providers to:

Develop compassionate and evidence-informed caring practices;

Recognize and celebrate human diversity;

Embrace the mutual process of learning and healing that is inherent in the parent-child relationship;

Understand and work with differently-wired kids (i.e., autism, demand avoidance/PDA, ADHD, ODD, DMDD, anxiety, sensory processing differences, etc.) from a neurodiversity-affirmative framework; and,

Engage in activities and relationships that support emotion regulation and life-giving self-care to prevent and recover from compassion fatigue, burnout, trauma, caregiving, overfunctioning, codependency, and deteriorating mental health.
