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.

Emma Heutschi
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist
Whether you have a diagnosis or are looking to get an assessment, I practice from a neurodivergent-affirming lens. We will peel back the layers to understand what may be a symptom of ADHD or not. ADHD presents uniquely in each person, late-diagnosis is common for women who have been misdiagnosed with anxiety or mood disorders- I will help you connect your dots and share insights from new research to give you the information and support you may be missing.

Forouz Salari
Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
It's not easy living with ADHD in systems, institutions and communities that were historically built by and for neuro-typical people. Living with neurodivergence means that others struggle to understand, empathize with, and extend grace and compassion towards you. They either do not know about, do not think about, cannot imagine, or refuse to offer you the types of accommodations that would support you to show up, engage and contribute to the best of your abilities. This can make you feel further misunderstood, isolated and marginalized, and reduce your access to resources and opportunities for care and growth.
Let's work together to:
Explore, better understand & accept your unique strengths & challenges as someone living with ADHD.
Learn & apply new techniques & approaches to address some of the executive functioning challenges that come with ADHD (including planning, organization, and time-management).
Learn effective ways of managing your stress to reduce the intensity of the symptoms of ADHD.
Create doable personalized plans to feel more balanced, well, fulfilled and engaged in your work / studies, relationships, and personal life.
Learn about and self-advocate for academic & workplace accommodations that can reduce your experiences of overwhelm & stress, and set you up for success.

Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist
ADHD can be challenging, teens with a diagnosis often get labelled as being lazy or forgetful. Really, they just need help to learn certain skills. Those who get a diagnosis in adulthood frequently describe feeling scattered and misunderstood. That is where we come in. We can help teach those important skills and instill those habits for success! Let us help you.

Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
Do you or a family member have challenges with focus, distractibility, time management, procrastination, restlessness and/or forgetfulness? Have you struggled with chronic unexplained underachievement?
People with ADHD tend to be extremely bright individuals who are frequently misunderstood. They are often told they are not living up to their potential and described as “lazy” and “unmotivated.” Overtime, individuals with ADHD can internalize this negative feedback and feel ineffective, unproductive, ashamed, guilty, anxious, overwhelmed, and frustrated. Tasks that seem simple and require minimal effort to others (e.g., responding to emails) can feel like climbing a mountain to individuals with ADHD.
If not properly addressed, ADHD can wreak havoc on lives. However, it can also become a superpower if appropriately managed.
At MindFit, we offer the Fit and Focused assessment to help determine whether one’s challenges can be explained by ADHD. We focus on identifying and fostering strengths and understanding what’s getting in the way of their development. Getting an accurate assessment is the first step toward receiving effective management of the condition and bringing out the best in you. We also offer a 10-session Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy based program called “Thrive with ADHD” designed to teach youth and adults with ADHD about effective strategies (e.g., for organization, time management, reducing procrastination, etc.), ADHD coaching, support for parents and partners of children/adults with ADHD, and a physical activity program for individuals with ADHD based on research indicating that physical activity interventions can reduce ADHD symptom severity, improve mood and enhance focus.

Are you tired of feeling like you are working against your brain? Do you feel like... no matter how hard you try things just feel so much harder for you than others? Like you are constantly living an up hill battle that you cannot beat? That there is so much going on in your brain that your thoughts feel so loud and wont shut off? Like there's "something wrong with you" or that you aren't "normal"? You are constantly being misunderstood? Like your life is in a state of chaos and you don't know what to do to fix it? You've always been told that you are "too sensitive"? Or maybe you have always struggled to stay on top of things and become overwhelmed easily? Here at Eras Therapy and Wellness we are a neuro-inclusive practice that want to help you feel like you are in control of your own life. Being neurodivergent doesn't have to feel like a burden, we can help provide the answers that you have been looking for and work with you to create a life that works for you and your brain. Using a collaborative, strengths-based and client focused approach we can help you or your child understand their ADHD and feel like it is no longer a burden in life.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
From a trauma-informed perspective ADHD is understood as an inability to quiet all of the noise internally and externally which creates difficulty in directing focus, starting, switching, and completing tasks, and organizing information in clear ways. ADHD is not a maladaptive brain, it is a response to trauma that has changed the way the brain and nervous system receive information. The work we can do will be to help you better understand your ADHD, learn how to work with your brain and body in ways that are more functional for your ADHD, and resolve the root of what is driving the executive dysfunction in the first place.
