Sandra Iseman (she/her)

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

As a therapist with lived experience of ADHD, Sandra understands the struggle, shame, and frustration that can come from trying to navigate a world that often was not built for neurodivergent people. She believes ADHD represents difference rather than deficit, and that developing a deeper understanding of your brain can open the door to greater self-acceptance, confidence, and growth.

Sandra works with adults and couples navigating ADHD, AuDHD, autism, anxiety, trauma, parenting, and relationship challenges. She partners with clients to build greater awareness of their unique experiences while helping them strengthen relationships, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change that aligns with their strengths and values. Her goal is to help clients cultivate a healthy self-image, improve confidence, thrive in their relationships, and create lives with greater balance and purpose.

Sandra's therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and strengths-based. She draws from a wide range of evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Structural Family Therapy, and trauma-focused approaches, tailoring therapy to each client's individual goals and experiences.

Her approach is grounded in person-centred care and individualized support. Emily collaborates closely with clients to better understand their goals while supporting them in building resilience, developing practical coping strategies, and creating lasting emotional well-being. Whether someone is navigating ADHD, autism, developmental disabilities, mood concerns, or significant life changes, she tailors therapy to each person's unique needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Emily integrates a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Interpersonal Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Coaching, and Strengths-Based Therapy.

Hanyue (Noah) Qin (he/him)

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW

As a late-diagnosed ADHDer and queer Chinese immigrant, Noah understands firsthand how neurodivergence, identity, culture, and life experiences intersect in complex ways. She offers therapy in both English and Mandarin, creating an affirming space where clients can explore every aspect of themselves without feeling pressured to mask, explain, or minimize their experiences.

Noah specializes in supporting adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, burnout, emotional regulation challenges, complex trauma (C-PTSD), grief, self-esteem, LGBTQ+ experiences, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. She believes that while trauma shapes many aspects of our lives, it does not define who we are. Her work focuses on helping clients better understand the patterns created by past experiences while recognizing and building upon the strengths that often go unnoticed in neurotypical environments.

Her therapeutic approach is culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and identity-affirming. Noah integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Positive Psychology, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Strengths-Based approaches.

Michele Irwin (she/her)

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Michele is a late-diagnosed AuDHDer, the parent of autistic children, and an educator with more than two decades of experience supporting neurodivergent learners and families. She understands what it feels like to move through educational systems and everyday environments that often expect neurodivergent people to fit in rather than flourish. Her lived experience allows her to connect with clients through deep empathy, authenticity, and genuine understanding.

Michele works with neurodivergent youth, adults, students, parents, and creatives navigating ADHD, autism, executive functioning challenges, academic stress, burnout, grief, identity exploration, life transitions, creative blocks, and existential overwhelm. She recognizes that every person's experiences are different, whether they are processing a recent diagnosis, parenting a neurodivergent child, or simply trying to make it through each week with less overwhelm. Her goal is to create a space where clients feel safe to explore their identities while building greater clarity, self-compassion, and confidence.

Her work is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and LGBTQ2S+ affirming. Michele integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic and Polyvagal-Informed Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Mindfulness, Expressive Writing, and relational approaches to meet each client at their own pace while supporting healing that honours the whole person.

Sneha specializes in supporting women, parents, immigrants, and families experiencing identity shifts, reproductive mental health concerns, anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, and neurodivergence. She understands that transitions often bring uncertainty, grief, and self-doubt, and believes therapy should offer both emotional support and practical strategies that help clients feel more grounded in everyday life.

Her approach is trauma-informed, inclusive, and evidence-based, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Feminist Therapy, Multicultural approaches, culturally sensitive practice, and trauma-focused interventions. She works collaboratively with clients to strengthen resilience, improve relationships, and create sustainable strategies that honour each person's unique journey.

Rebecca Dupont (she/her)

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Rebecca is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with lived experience of ADHD and extensive experience supporting ADHDers as they navigate the challenges, strengths, and complexities of neurodivergent life.

Rebecca works with teens, adults, elders, and couples navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She recognizes how years of feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or pressured to fit into neurotypical expectations can impact confidence and self-trust. Her approach focuses on helping clients better understand themselves, reduce shame, regulate their nervous systems, and develop strategies that align with their individual strengths and needs.

Through therapy, Rebecca supports clients in creating meaningful change while honouring their authentic selves. She believes that when individuals feel more connected to themselves and have tools that work with their brains rather than against them, they can experience greater confidence, balance, and fulfillment in everyday life.
