Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Navigating life with ADHD can often feel like trying to run complex software on a operating system that isn't quite built for it. Whether you are seeking a late-in-life diagnosis, managing executive dysfunction, or trying to quiet the mental overwhelm, I offer a neurodiversity-affirming space to help you make sense of how your unique brain works. Using a collaborative cognitive behavioural approach, we will move away from one-size-fits-all expectations and instead build practical, compassionate strategies tailored to your natural rhythms, strengths, and personal goals.

ADHD
Arne Pedersen - Hypnotherapy Victoria
Hypnotherapist, RCCH
Living with ADHD often means living in a nervous system that has learned to stay on high alert. Many adults with ADHD are intelligent, sensitive, and capable, yet feel easily overwhelmed, restless, emotionally reactive, or caught in cycles of self-criticism. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion and a constant sense of pressure to “keep up” or hold everything together.
From a mindfulness-based perspective, ADHD is often understood as a protective response that developed at a time when life did not feel emotionally safe, supportive, or well understood. Attention may have learned to move away from difficult feelings or confusing situations as a way to cope. While this once helped, those patterns can continue long after they are needed.
My work with ADHD focuses on helping the nervous system gradually recognize that it is safe to settle and down-regulate. Through mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy, clients learn to create internal signals of safety, orient to the present moment, and gently reduce fight-or-flight activation. This helps bring emotional responses back into proportion with what is actually happening now.
Rather than trying to eliminate ADHD, therapy supports greater steadiness, clarity, and self-trust. As the nervous system settles, focus improves naturally, emotional reactions soften, and daily life begins to feel more manageable and grounded.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Living with ADHD—whether your own or your partner's—can feel isolating and misunderstood. I bring personal insight from walking this path alongside my spouse, understanding both the struggles and the unexpected gifts ADHD brings to relationships. Together, we'll move beyond frustration toward genuine acceptance, helping you build communication patterns that honor how each brain works differently. You'll learn to regulate your nervous system through the chaos, transform conflict into connection, and discover the humor and freedom that come when both partners feel truly seen. Understanding replaces blame. Compassion replaces resentment. You don't just survive—you thrive.

Dr. Justin Dubé
Psychologist, Ph.D, C.Psych
When our ways of processing and attending to information differ from our peers, it can be hard to feel effective. Over time, we may start to develop beliefs about ourselves that make it even harder to feel effective. Together, we will use empirically based treatment to increase your ability to plan, organize, manage distractions, and think about your thinking.
