Therapy for ADHD

Inclusive Online Therapy Across Ontario

“For an adult with [ADHD], the key to success is to find the courage to be who you are…shaping your life to fit your impulsiveness, distractibility, high energy and need for stimulation.”

– Dr. Lara Honos-Webb, Clinical Psychologist and Author

You feel like a failure, again.

You forgot the assignment instructions. You missed the deadline. And yes, you said you’d pick up some groceries three times last week and still haven’t done it yet.

You feel like a bad friend for always being late to plans, when you remember them in the first place. Your schedule is imaginary at this point. What’s the point of using a planner when you can’t stick to it anyways?

You’re bored, constantly. How does everyone sit still through life all day with no fun distractions?  

You’re trying, you really are. But it feels like you’ve been set up to fail in a world that wasn’t built for you.

What if you could feel as capable as you actually are?

Imagine using your energy for good.

Imagine creating a plan for the day that used your brain’s strengths to their advantage.

Imagine finally feeling like you’re in a system that was made for you—because you helped make it.

You’re remembering to eat, drink water and properly take care of yourself. You’re even getting to your appointments on time!

Instead of trying to fight your brain, you’ve adapted to work with it. For once, your differences are your ally, not your enemy.

Make the world work for you.

We believe that your ADHD is something unique about you, and we’ll never try to change or fix it. Instead, we’ll work together to discover how to embrace your differences and use them to your advantage.

We’ll develop real tools for mastering your schedule, overcoming distractions, increasing focus, and getting organized in a way you can stick with.

We’ll also tackle the emotional hurdles of ADHD, from guilt to shame to boredom. No feelings are too big or too small in this space.

Sometimes, therapy isn’t the only piece of the puzzle. We can connect you with resources and supports alongside therapy to help you with assessment and treatment of your ADHD. And yes, fidgets and stims are welcomed in session!

We care about your wellness as a whole person, and we’ll celebrate the differences that are your ADHD.

Who this type of therapy is for:

→ You keep making careless mistakes or forgetting things that are important to you, no matter how hard you try.  

→ You have a clinical diagnosis of ADHD, a self-diagnosis, or you just relate a little too hard to ADHD reels and can’t help feeling like they’re about you.

→ You’re often bored and can barely focus, unless you tune in to something you love…then you’re so focused you forget to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom for hours. It can be fun, but not exactly sustainable.

→ Taking care of yourself is such a chore, and you feel constantly scattered.

→ You feel ashamed of your differences instead of loving them. It feels like they’re holding you back, and you’re struggling to work with instead of against who you are.
