Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Navigating a world that wasn't built for a neurodivergent brain can feel like a constant, exhausting uphill battle. I provide specialized, comprehensive counselling support for individuals navigating the unique complexities of ADHD and neurodivergence. Often, living with ADHD means dealing with the heavy, paired pressures of chronic overwhelm, masking, high-achievement burnout, and a loud inner critic driven by perfectionism.In our work together, we move beyond generic advice to build an intentional path forward that actually honors your unique brain. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to untangle unhelpful patterns and create practical, everyday executive functioning and mindset tools. Because ADHD overwhelm and rejection sensitivity are felt deeply in the body, we also integrate neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. This allows us to look beneath the surface, calm the nervous system, and gently process the stuck emotional stress and exhaustion that traditional talk therapy alone can't always reach.Whether you are navigating a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis, managing career and relationship strain, or looking to build genuine self-compassion, I am here to support you. Alongside individual virtual sessions, I also value community connection and offer group therapy spaces where you can navigate these transitions and patterns alongside peers who truly understand.

ADHD
Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, sometimes present as ADD without hyperactivity. People with ADHD find it difficult to maintain attention to a topic that doesn't particularly interest them... Although they are also able to concentrate more deeply than most of topics they find fascinating. Impulse control is another symptom they may have trouble with, among other symptoms, most of which can be addressed successfully.

Navigating life with ADHD or other neurodivergent traits can often feel like a journey of self-discovery and adaptation. I personally understand these challenges, both from my own experience and from years of working with neurodivergent individuals. My approach blends an understanding of neuroscience with a compassionate, creative framework to support your unique needs. Whether you’re looking to enhance focus, develop coping strategies, heal related wounds, or explore how neurodivergence affects aspects of your life like sexuality, I work alongside you to develop a personalized, sustainable approach. My flexibility and experience in this area can help you feel empowered to thrive.

ADHD
Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
ADHD is far more nuanced than the common image of a restless child who can't sit still — it is a lifelong neurological condition that affects attention regulation, executive functioning, emotional sensitivity, and sense of self in ways that often go unrecognized well into adulthood. At Nightingale Counselling, we have a particular expertise in identifying and supporting adults with undiagnosed ADHD, especially women, who have spent years masking their struggles and may have come to see themselves as lazy, unreliable, or overwhelmed without understanding why. Our approach combines psychoeducation, acceptance-focused therapy, and close collaboration with diagnostic and medical services, because we believe the gold standard for ADHD treatment is one that addresses both the neurological and emotional dimensions of the condition.

Hira Imam
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, RP, RCC, CCC
I've worked with post-secondary students (undergrad and grad students) along with working professionals who have many things on their to-do lists - whether it's for work life or personal life - and just not enough time to do it all. Not only is there not enough time but not enough energy. But when there is enough time somehow the task is always put off til the last minute. I support my clients with ADHD/ADHD symptoms in finding the balance that works for them to help reduce stress and feel more settled in their day-to-day. *Free 15 min Consultation Phone Call*
