Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
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.

Rachael Burnett
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
My approach to working with neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD, begins with untangling feelings of shame that often comes with feeling "different". Together, we will work to replace self-criticism with radical self-compassion and deep self-acceptance. Rather than imposing a rigid framework, we will gently look at your patterns and behaviors to discover what actually works for your nervous system. Working together, we will collaborate on practical, meaningful goals across the areas that matter most to you, such as navigating school or career demands, building fulfilling friendships, or nurturing romantic relationships. Therapy is a space where your brain's unique workflow is understood, respected, and celebrated.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
A majority of my clients are either late-diagnosed (like myself) or suspected to be neurodivergent. Many have been misdiagnosed earlier in life and as a result I make it a priority to explore the intersection of ADHD, ASD and BPD. I can offer referrals to psychologists and assessment services with little-to-no waitlist. In session, we might focus on skills to improve executive functioning (memory, organization, self-regulation, procrastination, perfectionism etc.). I believe it is also important to work on fostering self-acceptance and dismantling the shame that is often deeply rooted in being neurodivergent.
I am neuro-affirming - unlike some therapists, my goal isn't to make you "more neurotypical" but rather to help you work with your challenges through skills specific to your individual needs.

Sage Ariel Seguin
Registered Psychotherapist, QRP, MACP
I offer neurodivergent-affirming therapy for adults with ADHD and AuDHD, including those diagnosed later in life. Many of my clients have spent years masking, over-functioning, and pushing through in a world built for different brains — arriving exhausted, scattered, and unsure of who they are beneath the coping. Drawing on Internal Family Systems, DBT, mindfulness, and emotion-focused approaches, we work at a pace that fits your nervous system, building practical tools and steadier self-trust in daily life.

Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
I approach Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) from an affirmative and holistic perspective, recognizing both the challenges it can bring and the unique strengths it can foster. My goal is to empower clients by helping them develop effective strategies to manage their symptoms, while also acknowledging and validating how being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world can lead to experiences such as rejection sensitivity dysphoria, feelings of incompetence, emotional overwhelm, confusion, and dysregulation. Together, we will work to address the difficulties and celebrate how ADHD can and has likely already contributed to an abundance of unique skills and strengths.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
ADHD means a nervous system that works differently, and often a lifetime of being told you're too much or not enough. I work with adults navigating late diagnosis, burnout, relationship strain, and the particular exhaustion of masking. Sessions are flexible and practical, and I'm not going to pathologize the way your brain works.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
