At the end of therapy clients typically report that they are more compassionate with themselves, more able to clearly express their wishes to themselves and others, more willing to take risks and make mistakes, and more accepting that life is difficult but also of great value. Their lives are better aligned with what matters to them. The process can be quicker than you'd expect. It's about moving things out of the way, like difficult emotions, or thoughts and behaviors that are no longer serving you. The assumption is that everything you need is already within you, it just needs space to grow.

I have training and experience in working with children and youth who are experiencing anxiety, anger, ADHD, depression, conflicts, family changes, trauma and behavioural challenges.
Sometimes life's challenges or transitions can be overwhelming for a person or family to solve on their own. Counselling provides support as you adjust to transitions such as those involving grief and loss or separation/divorce. I utilize diverse theoretical approaches in my counselling practice, drawing upon my training and experience in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples and Family Therapy, trauma-informed and attachment issues, play therapy, and mindfulness techniques.

You've read the articles. You've tried "I feel" statements. One of you cried in a Costco parking lot. It's time to bring in a professional. You're not the only couple who feels like this. Maybe it's the resentment that crept in after the baby or the shutting down every time something real gets brought up. Maybe you're just two people who used to actually like each other, now living like co-parents who happen to share a bed. Whatever the version, you've probably already Googled "is this normal" more than once. Here's what I can tell you: it's common. It's also fixable and it doesn't require years on a couch talking in circles.

ADHD Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
