Mikyla Bergman
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Let's talk ADHD!
Are you newly diagnosed ADHD? or an experienced hyperactive/ inattentive brain? I focus on working with and understanding the ADHD brain, looking at the challenges, strategies and differences of living with ADHD in a neurotypical world- let's get into it!
I believe in a person-centered approach that provides unique, tailored support for each individual. My goal is to work collaboratively with you, gaining a deep understanding of your challenges, experiences, goals, and emotions. In addition to fostering emotional well-being, I incorporate strategies to enhance executive functioning skills—such as organization, time management, and emotional regulation—to support overall life balance and daily functioning. This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing overwhelm, ADHD, anxiety, or depression, as it strengthens key life skills that promote resilience and personal growth.

Andreea Mota
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Are you worried about your child or teen's anxiety, OCD, emotional outbursts, or difficulty focusing at school and home? Maybe they're stuck in cycles of worry, checking, or needing reassurance that something bad won't happen. You may be trying everything yet daily routines still feel stressful and unpredictable. Watching them struggle or shut down when emotions get too big can feel exhausting. Perhaps you've noticed signs of ADHD or anxious thinking that are harder to manage. You want to see them feel calmer, more capable, and able to get through their day. With the right support, real change is possible. I am here to help.
I work with children and teens experiencing anxiety, ADHD, OCD, emotional regulation difficulties, and behavioural challenges. I also support parents looking for practical guidance and reassurance. Families often come feeling overwhelmed and unsure of the next step. Together we focus on building structure, strengthening coping skills, and growing confidence.
Working with me feels calm, collaborative, and encouraging. I focus on building trust and creating a space where your child or teen feels comfortable expressing themselves at their own pace. You don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I offer a free consultation so we can talk about what your family needs and whether working together feels right.
