ADHD Therapists in Mississauga, ON

I have over 12 years of experience working with survivors of trauma, youth and young adults, newcomers, racialized women, individuals with ADHD and 2SLGBTQ+. In all my years of practice, my motivation for work comes from the people who tirelessly work to build their lives and thrive. I have a special interest in supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds in engaging in the therapeutic process in a safe and inclusive manner. I draw from my personal and professional experience in my work, to help individuals understand themselves and others to navigate the world around them.

I currently offer individual counselling - in person or virtually. Appointments are available Monday - Thursday, Saturday & Sunday. Life's challenges can lead to difficulties coping with our thoughts, emotions, relationships, tough situations and more. No matter the issue, I strive to provide a safe, judgement free space to help you gain support and insight in your life. I take a client-centered approach that prioritizes your personal needs, goals and strengths.

As a woman of colour, I understand what it is like to live in more than one culture and navigate generational differences. I aim to use my lived experience and knowledge to help you better understand yourself, develop effective coping skills, and find greater meaning in life and relationships. I am experienced in working with individuals coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions (including immigration), addictions, identity-related issues, ADHD, and personality disorders.

Many of us have become masters in pretending that things are fine, when in reality our lives seem to be falling apart. Inside we feel like we’re drowning: overwhelmed by emotion, lost, & hopeless as we try to carry the burden of unresolved trauma, pain, & life’s curveballs hurled our way. Pushing aside these problems to get through each day to manage life’s responsibilities, we find ourselves numb, depressed, anxious, self-medicating, isolating, angry, & struggling with relationships. Together, we can work towards confronting unhealthy behaviours, understanding emotions, & healing from past trauma to create transformational change.

The majority of my clients are struggling with a unique cluster of symptoms that impact their ability to live life on their terms. Most are unaware of the ways our hormones, trauma and ADHD intersect, and too often we are poorly supported. In order for symptoms to shift, we need to address the many ways symptoms arise, and finding cohesive care can be challenging.

As a neurodivergent individual, you may face unique challenges that can be difficult to address on your own. What if you were offered practical strategies to face your challenges?

Hi there! My name is Krystle, thanks for stopping by. In therapy we often talk about life experiences, how it shapes who we are, and guides the journey we are on. Sometimes in our journeys we are faced with stressors, maybe feeling uncertain about our future, or feeling lost in our thoughts. Sometimes our journey leads us to self-discovery, and new ways of doing things. Perhaps by accepting the uncertainty of tomorrow. Whether you are looking for support to manage anxiety, overwhelming thoughts/emotions, help with school/work, or maybe daily life pressures. Feeling connected and understood is what most of us are searching for.
