ADHD therapy without the shame.

Most people who come for this work are not looking for a productivity coach. They are tired. Tired of starting systems and dropping them, of replaying meetings, of feeling like an unreliable version of someone they could be. Common starting points include:

• Late-diagnosed ADHD in adults. Late diagnosis tends to bring grief and relief at once. Sessions hold both.
• Self-identified neurodivergent clients. We do not gatekeep diagnosis. If your lived experience tells you your brain works differently, that is enough to start the work here.
• AuDHD (autism and ADHD together). We treat AuDHD as its own experience, not a sum of two diagnoses.
• Burnout in high-performing adults with ADHD. The professional who looks fine in meetings and cannot get groceries on the weekend.
• Intense sensitivity to criticism or perceived rejection. A strong, often body-level reaction to real or perceived rejection, sometimes called rejection-sensitive dysphoria.
• Masking exhaustion and identity work post-diagnosis. Figuring out what to keep, what to put down, what to tell people, and what to forgive yourself for.
• Parenting or partnering as a neurodivergent person. Managing your own regulation alongside a household, often with neurodivergent kids or a neurotypical partner.

Registered Psychotherapists in Ontario do not diagnose ADHD and do not prescribe medication. Diagnosis sits with physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurse practitioners. What we can do is sit with you in the question of whether assessment is worth pursuing, refer onward when it is, and collaborate with your prescriber if medication is part of your story.

You do not need a diagnosis to begin. We work with self-identified neurodivergent clients, and for some people therapy is where they first sort out whether pursuing an assessment feels worth it.

Couples work that names the ND dynamic is different from generic couples work. Conflict that looks like a communication issue is often a processing-style mismatch, and resentment around chores is often executive function meeting an unfair distribution of invisible labour. We offer couples sessions that take the neurotype seriously, instead of asking the ND partner to perform a neurotypical relationship to keep the peace. Couples sessions are $200 (50 minutes) or $290 (80 minutes).
