ADHD Therapists in Rockwood, ON
In our lives we can lose balance, get hurt, get confused and feel misunderstood. People we count on aren’t always there for us when we reach out. Some of us seek connection to de-stress; some need to be alone. This difference leads to feeling either abandoned or overwhelmed. Counselling aims to foster connection, resilience & self-awareness. Our problems aren't always solved by talking, so I have tools to help you get unstuck & deepen intimacy with yourself & others. Is it your 1st time in therapy? Even then, you can feel safe and productive. Check out my articles published in Psychology Today and call for a no obligation consult.

Do you ever feel too overwhelmed to deal with your problems while managing the day to day? Perhaps you've been feeling depressed, stressed or anxious for a long time.

You may be reluctant to try psychotherapy or have tried but did not find a good fit. I am a firm believer that successful therapy is a collaborative relationship between the therapist and client. This relationship needs to be based in authenticity and hope - with the goals of leading effective change.

I specialize in working with adults, struggling with mental health or substance use, with a particular interest and training in Adult ADHD.
You try so hard but some days it just feels like too much. Family, work, the house, relationships, kids...so much everyday and it all feels so overwhelming and you struggle just to get through the day. Other people make it look so easy and don't understand how these 'simple' things can be so hard for you. No matter how hard you try, something always falls through the cracks. How many times have you said to yourself, "what is wrong with me?" What if I told you that life does not have to feel this hard? That overwhelm does not have to rule your days and have you feeling bad about yourself? That there is nothing wrong with you.

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.
