About

Sarah Southey, MSW, RSW

My journey into understanding and helping neurodiverse people began in the Middle East many years ago. Inspired by a brilliant five year old boy who struggled with loud noises in the classroom and was reading at a grade 3 level, I returned to Canada and pursued studies and work to learn as much about autism as I could.

Since that time, I completed a Master’s of Social work at The University of Toronto in 2009, worked, consulted and volunteered for Autism Ontario for many years, and also spent some time as a Social Worker supporting families with new diagnoses at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.

I have spent majority of my career working as an associate at The Redpath Centre. In my practice, I specialize in helping adolescents and young adults organize an education/career path, process new diagnoses, self advocate, manage anxiety and build social skills.

Sarah is not currently accepting new clients.
