Individuals (Teens, Adults, Elders)

As a registered psychotherapist (qualifying), I have extensive experience working with ADHDers and also have lived experience. This personal insight has driven me to develop a deeper understanding of the unique gifts & challenges ADHD presents.
ADHD-focused therapy could be helpful to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related trauma.
When you implement and integrate the practices to calm your nervous system, you will feel energized, confident, and able to engage more fully as you manage your day-to-day life. This decrease in overwhelm will create the space you need to fulfill your potential as you generate the results you desire.
As your therapist, I draw from evidence-based theories for growth and change. On our journey together, I will help you make meaning and find purposeful direction. In doing so we will create a compassionate, culturally responsive space through presence, relationship, and self-acceptance.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with my own ADHD diagnosis and I understand the struggle and shame of living in a world that wasn’t built for neurodiversity. I also know through my work with others and myself that ADHD really means difference, not deficit or disorder. As you learn more about how your brain wiring works, you can begin to live within your strengths.
My role as a therapist is to support your discovery and growth in a safe and compassionate space. I partner with you as you gain awareness and acceptance of your unique experience and build on innate capacity. Together we work towards achieving your goals, doing well at work, thriving in your relationships, and finding peace within yourself. My goal for my clients is for you to create a healthy self-image, confidence, and a clear vision for a future with meaning, balance, and purpose.

As someone on a personal and ongoing journey of self-exploration, I understand the importance of compassionate self-acceptance in discovering our potential. Self-discovery is a courageous and fundamental process for personal growth. My approach to therapy focuses on empowering clients to recognize their personal strengths and capacities to tackle life's challenges with grace and humility.
As a trained teacher and a holder of a Master's of Arts in Counselling Psychology, I have extensive work experience in clinical and educational spaces. I approach my work from a culturally humble lens, recognizing that my clients are the experts of their own experiences. By adopting a not-knowing stance, we can engage in mutual inquiry through collaborative dialogue to explore your unique perspective and experiences.
My goal is to create a space free of judgment where you can feel comfortable discovering your most authentic self. I offer services in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey of self-exploration and acceptance!

Works With:

Individuals (Preteens, Teens, Adults)
Seeking counselling is a courageous gift to give yourself when you are dealing with challenges in life and would benefit from some extra support. I have been working in education, advocacy, case management, and youth mental health for the past 20 years. I am a Registered Social Worker and my work is informed by anti-oppression, intersectionality, social justice, harm reduction, neurodiversity, and positive psychology. I take an approach to well-being that understands the interconnectedness of our whole being.
As part of my counselling practice, I offer to teach meditation and breathing techniques to calm the mind. My approach is collaborative and honors the strengths and wisdom that everyone brings to their healing journey. Our biggest healing breakthroughs can come from cultivating self-love and having kindness and compassion for ourselves. Self-love helps us boost our self-confidence and skyrocket into our happiest and most joyful life. I believe that all of our struggles connect to social and structural realities, and understanding this allows us to cultivate more kindness for ourselves and others.

SUPARVA GAUTAM, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
(Sliding Scale Available)
Works With:
-
Individuals (Teens, Adults, Elders)
As a therapist with lived experience of ADHD, I bring a unique blend of personal insight and professional expertise to my practice. Having lived with ADHD myself, I intimately understand the frustrations and complexities that come with task initiation, chronic procrastination, and emotional regulation. These are not abstract concepts but real challenges I’ve faced—and continue to face—in my everyday life. My personal journey has shaped not only how I relate to my clients but also how I approach therapy, fostering an environment where individuals feel truly understood and supported.
Since 2013, I have worked as a counsellor, helping people manage ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. My professional experience spans over a decade, during which I’ve honed my ability to work with individuals who struggle with the daily obstacles that ADHD presents. I walk alongside clients through these experiences and my own challenges with ADHD allow me to bring a compassionate, empathetic perspective to therapy.
In my work, I focus on practical strategies to help clients navigate life with ADHD, such as breaking down tasks into manageable steps, using visual reminders, and improving emotional regulation. At the same time, I help clients understand the deeper emotional impact ADHD can have, such as feelings of shame, self-doubt, or frustration that may arise from years of living with the condition.
Through our work, I aim to help you break free from the cycle of procrastination and overwhelm, develop a greater sense of control over their lives, and discover practical strategies to thrive, despite the challenges ADHD may present. It’s not just about surviving ADHD—it’s about learning to harness one’s unique strengths and live a fulfilling, meaningful life.

KATY NADEAU, Registered Psychotherapist

Works With:
-
Individuals (Adults, Elders)
I am a Registered Psychotherapist and a late-diagnosed autistic person. I have experienced my own challenges of feeling ‘different’ and navigated mental health issues as I came to understand myself and my own needs. I understand how challenging and freeing it can be to process your identity and that it is not always a linear path. My experience as a client in therapy has had a great influence on how I developed my own approach to working with clients. I approach therapy from a gentle and curious stance, as I aim to meet my clients where they are at in their healing journey.
My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients to better understand themselves and to work collaboratively to address any challenges along the way. I believe that every client has unique needs that deserve to be honored through a personalized and tailored approach to care. I use an integrative approach with my clients, meaning that I have experience in different therapeutic modalities that I will adapt to best fit my client’s needs.
I hope that my clients may find meaning in their past and present experiences and that it can be transformative in how they perceive themselves, others, and the world around them.

Family
Are you feeling overwhelmed by a major life transition—becoming a parent, moving to a new country,
navigating a recent diagnosis, or supporting a neurodivergent child? You are not alone.
As a Registered Social Worker, I support women experiencing identity shifts, parents striving to raise emotionally secure children, immigrants adjusting to new environments, and individuals or families navigating the journey of neurodivergence—whether through a child’s diagnosis or a later-in-life realization of their own
.
Whether you are trying to understand your child’s behaviours, balance the demands of motherhood, rediscover your identity, or make sense of how neurodivergence shapes your experience—I offer a space to explore these challenges with compassion and purpose.
My approach is trauma-informed, inclusive, and culturally sensitive, grounded in evidence-based
practices.
I specialize in:
-
Women’s reproductive mental health
-
Parenting support and strategies
-
Child development (cognitive, behavioural, and emotional intelligence)
-
Support around neurodivergence and diagnosis-related transitions
Life transitions can feel chaotic and emotionally draining. I’m here to offer both emotional support and
practical tools to help you manage anxiety, stress, and uncertainty with greater ease and confidence.
If you’re looking for grounded, non-judgmental support tailored to your journey, I invite you to reach
out.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
I am passionate about supporting and empowering neurodivergent folks to achieve their personal and professional goals. My experience includes person-centered, trauma-informed work and case management with victims and survivors of crime in Toronto, as well as designing and delivering educational programs to promote accessibility and inclusivity in nature and conservation spaces.
As I work toward completing my Master of Social Work at the University of Windsor, I remain committed to anti-oppressive and neurodiversity-affirming practices. Guided by values of collaboration, bravery, and compassion, I aim to create a supportive space where clients can uncover their strengths and pursue their unique aspirations.
