ADHD Therapists in Toronto, ON

People begin to heal when they feel seen, heard and understood in a no-judgment zone. Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Perfectionism, and Attachment Trauma are the areas that I specialize in. My practice philosophy believes in the importance in getting to the root (the 'why') of the challenges that you are experiencing; which usually stem from childhood. I can help you to process and make connections between your history and the impact it may be having on you now; learn effective ways of coping, and shift maladaptive thoughts (i.e. strong inner critic) and behaviours (i.e procrastination) to ones that are more adaptive and healthy.

I take on a wide variety of clients but I often focus on relational/relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and stress, among others. Additionally, I have experience working with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and other learning differences. I use a collaborative and empathic approach to explore each client's worldview and build strong therapeutic relationships. Being authentic with clients is of the utmost importance to me, so I strive to be present and genuine in each moment, allowing us to speak our minds freely and collaboratively.

My ideal psychotherapy client is an individual who is motivated to explore their inner world. Someone who willing to explore, and possibly reevaluate bedrock assumptions that play a major role in influencing our current attitudes and life choices. An ideal client also recognizes that a therapist's role is not to provide answers but rather to facilitate a process of self discovery which promotes emotional growth and lays the foundation for enduring change.

Congratulations on taking such an important step towards healing and personal growth! I look forward to providing you with a safe space to collaboratively explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences. Together, we will explore and address the root causes of your concerns, enabling you to move towards an authentic and meaningful life. I am honoured to partner with members of LGBTQ+ and racialized communities and endeavour to understand how experiences of marginalization and oppression impact you and your loved ones. I am also passionate about supporting clients with ADHD or those who identify as neurodivergent in some capacity.

Males young and old experience anxiety, depression, trauma and other mood issues, though are less likely to seek help. ADHD and LD’s disproportionately affect males, disrupting their goals and relationships. Young males must navigate contradictory messages about what it means to be a man while managing their own emotional health. These issues tend to be at their worst during transitional life stages, such as changing schools, entering the workforce, middle life, and in new relationships.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a relationship with each client that gives space to explore the impact of external stories and your internal worlds. I work mostly with neurodivergent individuals – people who self-identify as Autistic, ADHD, gifted, highly sensitive etc. – with interest in navigating the harmful impact of dominant social norms. My approaches are borrowed from Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Schema Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness and Religion, with some influence from CBT and Art Therapy.

Therapy is about being heard, being seen, and learning how to make new choices – and knowing that you don’t have to do this on your own.

I work from a client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed modality and experienced in the assessment and treatment of, but not limited to, the following: CPTSD/PTSD; ADHD; Suicidality and Self Harm; Depression/Grief and Anxiety/OCD/GAD; BPD; 2SLGBTQ+ Issues; and Family Conflict.

My name is Lisa and I offer mental health OT services for individuals with ADHD (or suspected ADHD), anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and other mental health symptoms.

Every obstacle and difficulty has a meaning and function. Let me help you become aware, understand and grow from adversities. Clients often come with a preconceived notion that something is “wrong” with them or their choices. We will work together to understand what makes you "you" and understand your choices and decisions before we decide what you would like to shift or change. I help clients with anxiety, mood disorders, emotion regulation difficulties, psychosis, trauma, self-esteem and attachment issues as well as support people in their careers, including leadership coaching, managing work stress and assertiveness training.

Psychotherapy is my second career, and that makes me stronger as a therapist. That's because, in addition to my academic qualifications and clinical training, my own lived experiences as a daughter, a wife and mother, a student, an employee and an entrepreneur help me relate to my clients in so many meaningful ways. Clients relate to my sense of humour, empathy, and desire for growth as a person and as a therapist. And they value my ability to get to the root of the issue and expertise in both practical problem-solving and supporting clients' growth.
