Sexuality & ADhD Solutions
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapist/Certified Coach - RSSW, AAC, CEBC, CAE
Having ADHD/ASD myself, I started my practice in 2013, with the passion to empower those with different brains to learn management skills that work for their specific issues.
Within a few years, I realized there was a big need to understand that ADHD is an executive function malfunction and it does impacting our sexuality. Our struggle with creating and maintaining boundaries, will definitely impact how we make choices throughout our life, including our sexual choices.
Did you know there is a higher rate of sexual issues among people with ADHD? I had to overcome many.
Since then, my passion has becomes stronger with each client who overcomes their blocks and hurts, and sets themself up for success, whatever that meant to them. I am honoured to do this unique work that changes people's lives in major ways.
There is nothing more important than being heard, seen, and supported.
I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES!

Tina Bohin
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Oftentimes, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness can emerge in our lives and make us feel stuck. In addition, experiences with trauma can make us feel like we are not deserving of support. You deserve mental health support that seeks to understand your unique experiences, needs and goals. Depression, anxiety and experiences with trauma can be debilitating mental health concerns that impact our well-being, relationships and daily living. These moments can be tough to navigate without someone to trust and confide in for support. I also have an abundance of experience in the realm of sexuality and education including: self-confidence, navigating relationships, arousal, kink, exploring sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity and sexual health.
The first step of seeking help can feel intimidating and overwhelming. I would love to make the process as comfortable as possible for you. I strive to offer a safe and non-judgemental space where we can collaboratively and compassionately work through your challenges. Kindly feel free to reach out with a questions about my qualifications! Let’s work together to explore and address your unique experiences and needs. Please give our office a call to book your first session. I am looking forward to meeting you!

Sehr Athar
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I believe that healing is growth in the face of adversity; it is a journey of coming (back) into yourself with deep self compassion, and we all have insight into how to get there. Sometimes we just need a bit of support along the way; someone to hold (non judgemental space) and work alongside us to find solutions, develop coping strategies and build on our innate skills and wisdom so that we are more emotionally resilient to life's challenges. I look forward to holding this space for you.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
My own experience of life has informed my practice as has my appreciation of the spiritual aspects of life. Depth psychology has long been an interest of mine since first reading Carl Jung's work in 1990. My practice is deepened by an appreciation of Buddhism and more recently neuroscience which provide more expansive views on how to work with the difficulties faced by simply being human.

Katarina Guillen
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Life can be tough, especially if you are feeling stuck, alone, disconnected, burned out, or like something is missing. It takes a great deal of strength and commitment to work on your goals and your relationships, and you have taken an important step in making a change by looking for support. I believe that our lived experiences impact the way we interact with ourselves and others. In exploring these experiences, we can learn to grow, improve our relationships and communication, gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, and create meaningful change.
I offer online individual youth and adult psychotherapy. I am here to provide support and guidance for difficulties such as strain in relationships, anxiety, self-criticism, difficulty setting boundaries, lack of intimacy and connection, difficulties related to parenting or family dynamics, or if you would like to develop emotional insight and emotion regulation skills. I may also be a good fit if you would like to strengthen relationships, work to live your life more aligned with your values and goals, heal past relational pains, develop assertive communication skills, work effectively towards your goals, manage stress or burnout, explore how to increase self-compassion, or develop emotionally informed parenting skills.
I am committed to creating a supportive, collaborative, and compassionate environment in which you feel safe to explore the challenges you are facing. I value meeting you where you are at in your journey, and exploring steps towards meaningful change in your life. Everyone’s needs are different, please reach out to see if I would be a good fit for you!
