Kevin Greene, Health & Happiness: Counselling and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
ADHD, while having its challenges, can also be a powerful personality trait. I work with people who have ADHD to understand their strengths while creating unique ways to mitigate their challenges. Rather than seeing a person with ADHD as broken, I see them as being filled with potential!

Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
It is normal for us to have something else on our mind, or be preoccupied with something on our minds while doing another task. ADHD on the other hand is a pervasive behavioural condition that makes concentration, controlling impulses, and daily tasks a challenge.

Regina D'cruz
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Using a strengths-based approach, we can work on the thoughts, behaviours, and executive functioning issues that are characteristics of ADHD. You don't need a formal diagnosis to seek help. Self-identifying with ADHD or living with ADHD traits can also affect daily functioning and overall life satisfaction.

Synergetic Healing Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
We recognize that individuals with ADHD often struggle with emotional regulation, mental flexibility, organization, and planning. Our therapy approach emphasizes skill-building in these areas through evidence-based techniques and strategies. We aim to enhance your ability to manage emotions, adapt to changing circumstances, improve organizational skills, and develop effective planning techniques.
Holistic Healing
We are open to discussing and integrating these methods into the treatment plan as long as they are safe, evidence-based, and align with your individual goals and preferences. We prioritize a collaborative approach, where we work together to explore and incorporate alternative strategies that complement traditional therapeutic interventions.
Medication Management
Medication can play a valuable role in managing ADHD symptoms. We work closely with psychiatrists or other healthcare professionals to assess the need for medication and determine the most suitable options. Regular monitoring and adjustments are made to ensure optimal symptom control and minimize side effects.
Psychiatric Assessment
Whether you are self-diagnosed or seeking a professional evaluation, we encourage a comprehensive psychiatric assessment to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. This assessment with our partnered organization may involve an in-depth evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and co-occurring conditions. It helps us tailor the treatment approach to your specific needs.

I have extensive experience in my personal and professional life supporting folks with ADHD. I can help you find new ways of coping, communicating, developing healthy and balanced interpersonal relationships.

Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) causes abnormal hyperactivity and impulsivity. Individuals who struggle with ADHD often find themselves easily distracted, unable to focus, being forgetful of their tasks, interrupting people when they talk, or difficulty sitting still. Surprisingly, both adults and child can struggle with ADHD. ADHD can impact your daily functioning, but behavioral therapy will help you learn to monitor and manage your behavior.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MSc, MA, CCC
FREE consultations! Living with ADHD is not easy, especially in a world that seems to operate without an awareness or respect for the condition. Common challenges with ADHD include difficulties with task management, time management, organization, prioritization, and other core executive function difficulties. People with ADHD also often have a harder time with emotion regulation and are prone to more frequent and intense experiences of self-criticism, shame, and negative emotions. To top things off, people with ADHD are also likely to also be experiencing challenges with anxiety and depression and/or additional mental health concerns.
