ADHD & Neurodivergent-Aware Therapy
You may have researched a thing or two about ADHD and you might have some curiosities or questions - therapy can help.
You might notice restlessness, trouble with focusing or hyper-focusing on specific topics or themes.
You might be quite forgetful with common events like birthdays or anniversaries, or lose objects like your keys often.
You may have an overwhelming sense of injustice when you witness or are involved in situations where you notice unfairness.
You might notice it’s harder to control your emotions or you might have poor sleep hygiene.
Common Themes of ADHD:
In therapy, we look at where you currently are with your journey; are you curious, are you diagnosed, medicated, etc?
We examine in your own time, your current patterns and routines, we look at what currently works, what doesn’t anymore, how we get rid of behaviours and thought patterns that no longer serve you, etc.
All of this is done gradually, overtime, perhaps in communication with your healthcare providers, so you can begin to understand, control and live with your ADHD, diagnosed or not.
How Therapy Can Help:
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Therapeutic support for all identities and relationship structures.
You might be curious about your sexuality (i.e. your gender identity, your sexual orientation, intimacy, etc).
You might feel misunderstood within your family or fear that you might be.
You may be exploring or evolving your relationships.
You might feel conflicted with attempting to understand yourself because of family or faith.
Does it Sound Like You?
In therapy, we look at where you feel comfortable to start. It might be how you identify currently, it might be about your current or past relationships or it might relate to intimacy.
Regardless of where we start, I make a point that it is all within your own comfort and at your own pace. You don’t need to understand or have come out before starting therapy, you can start now.
How Therapy Can Help:
Life Transitions
Changes in life can come at any moment. Therapy can help.
You might be considering a career change or might have been fired or made redundant.
You might have various opportunities presented to you and unsure how to proceed.
You might becoming a parent.
You’ve reached a common milestone age (e.g. 30, 40, 50, 60, etc) and are assessing your life.
You might have experienced a traumatic event, experienced a close or personal death or have been diagnosed with a condition or illness.
Common Life Transitions:
Depending on what the life transition might be, we explore how you feel about and your thoughts surrounding it.
Whether if it is an opportunity, a job loss, an age milestone, etc. We look at how you feel about it, what the immediate effect might be and whenever you are ready, we explore how to proceed. This could look like goal setting, it could be exploring your feelings around change. It is completely fine to feel a sense of discomfort with change.
How Therapy Can Help:
Work Stress & Burnout
Burnout is common in many professions, including retail, healthcare, corporate, etc.
You might be feeling like PTO days or weekends are not enough to rest.
You might be feeling overwhelmed with your work load or exhausted in general.
You might be feeling unheard with management.
You feel the Sunday blues start earlier than usual.
Signs of Work Stress & Burnout
Burnout and work stress can effect us in various ways - it can lead to sleep issues, low energy, digestive stress and a lack of time to enjoy time outside of work.
In therapy, we examine what your workload looks like, we talk about workplace boundaries, maybe there might be perfectionistic behaviours.
Whatever it is, we discuss it at your own pace.
