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.

Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) causes abnormal hyperactivity and impulsivity. Individuals who struggle with ADHD often find themselves easily distracted, unable to focus, being forgetful of their tasks, interrupting people when they talk, or difficulty sitting still. Surprisingly, both adults and child can struggle with ADHD. ADHD can impact your daily functioning, but behavioral therapy will help you learn to monitor and manage your behavior.
