ADHD Therapists in Kitchener, ON
As a child psychotherapist, my approach involves keen observation of a child's play, drawings, words, and behavior. Through this process, I help children verbalize the thoughts and emotions underlying their challenging behaviors. I tailor my methods to each individual child or family, ensuring an age-appropriate approach. Maintaining a neutral and non-directive stance, I create an atmosphere where children and adolescents feel free to express themselves without fear of punishment or rejection. This fosters trust and understanding, allowing them to communicate their hopes and fears ultimately shaping their perception of the world.

With over 20 years in mental health, I understand how overwhelming life can feel—for kids, teens, young adults, and parents alike. My ideal clients are often searching for clarity, connection, and tools to navigate anxiety, big emotions, low self-esteem, or behavioral challenges.

Together, we build understanding, strengthen coping strategies, and create a path toward greater confidence, balance, and connection—both within yourself and in your relationships.

Are you a queer, trans, or neurodivergent person dealing with the hurt of discrimination, rejection, or the feeling that folks around you just don’t understand? Maybe you struggle with trauma symptoms, dissociation, anxiety, depression, self-blame, or low self-worth. It can be hard to get up the courage to come to therapy only to feel like you have to explain the basics of your identity to your therapist. Worse yet, it can be scary to seek therapy when the field of psychology has historically tried to keep us from being our authentic selves.

As a Neurodivergent person, I am passionate about supporting other ND people in creating a life that is based on self-knowledge, self-acceptance, and creating systems of ND affirming support for daily life. Your ND is fundamental to you, even the parts you have not yet reconciled. My goal is to foster an inclusive, affirming practice that supports your existence as a Neurodivergent person. Many ND people have been raised to please those around us, to give care and compassion to our families, our friends and our co-workers, neglecting our own needs.

Thriving Families Counselling with Teri Lane
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW

Kitchener, ON N2E
Parenting isn’t easy and kids and teens don’t come with a handbook. We put high expectations on ourselves to be “good parents” and are often left feeling inadequate and overwhelmed. Kids' behaviour can be baffling and for parents whose child has received a mental health diagnosis wondering "what do we do now" are common. I created Thriving Families Counselling to provide a place in which parents could receive new understanding of their child or teen, explore how their own life experiences have influenced their approach to parenting and for families together to learn new ways to create healthy communication and functioning.

My approach to psychotherapy is founded on the belief that all people carry inherent worth and value. I take a holistic view of clients, people are multidimensional, and every aspect, biological, psychological, social, and spiritual, play a role in subjective well-being. I rely upon the perspective that clients are the experts of their lives, which is invaluable in tailoring my approach specific to you. I believe strongly that no one has a monopoly on normality. The nuanced approach I take for every client is rooted in my belief that every person is unique and deserves an approach tailored specifically to them.
