ADHD Coaching & Counselling
available in London, Toronto,
and online, anywhere in Ontario.
ADHD Coaching
What if the things that make you different are actually untapped strengths and resources? ADHD coaching is a complementary approach to ADHD that will help you develop specific strategies to harness your strengths and develop strategies for success in a world designed for different brains. Depending on your needs, coaching will focus on specific skills such as time management, goal setting, planning, organization and problem solving. We specialize in meeting the unique needs of late-diagnosed or self-discovered youth and adults with ADHD and look forward to helping you identify strategies to succeed in school, your career and your relationships.
ADHD Counselling
It's hard growing up in a world that doesn't understand or work for you. Many adults with ADHD also experience anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns. Combining ADHD coaching and psychotherapy can help you cultivate self-compassion, self acceptance, and personal growth as you heal from a lifetime of being misunderstood. People with ADHD are often made to believe they are lazy, crazy or stupid but were here to remind you of just how much you have to offer.
ADHD Diagnosis and Treatment
We believe that you know you best. But sometimes a formal assessment and diagnosis is required to access important supports and medical treatment. Our Nurse Practitioners offer accessible and affordable ADHD assessments and medical treatment for adults virtually across Ontario.

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a queer psychotherapist and a recent transplant from the United States.
I work with queer, trans, and neurodivergent teenagers and adults. Sometimes this includes identity exploration, but sometimes clients just want a therapist who is competent and knowledgeable about these parts of their life. I often support folks who are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief & loss of all kinds, ADHD, autism and OCD. This also encompasses many other areas of the human experience, including relationship changes, life transitions, healthy communication, boundary setting, self-criticism, shame, and compassion fatigue.
I am a talk therapist who uses different approaches and can often adjust to a client’s needs. I spend lots of time listening to clients, but am also candid and conversational. If needed, we may work on skills and strategies—and then work through the things that get in the way. I incorporate an IFS-informed parts work approach for clients who are interested in it, and use Exposure & Response Prevention therapy (ERP), for clients struggling with OCD. My approach is patient, compassionate, collaborative, and creative.
I work with clients throughout Ontario through telehealth (video sessions), and continue to work with clients in the states of New York and Wisconsin. If you are from one of these states, please reach out for information specific to billing and fees in the US.
I also provide clinical and practice building consultation to other therapists. I love providing deep-dive support and guidance, by helping you to untangle complex details and find a way forward. I’ve been a therapist since 2012, and am happy to lean on my experience to help support you.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and Expressive Arts Therapist
Ages: 8+
Location: Toronto, Virtual
Fees: $170
My focus with all of my clients is to support them in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. I help clients listen to their mind to explore the stories, fears, and beliefs they hold; to their body to become aware of how they experience emotions and carry stress; and to their soul to understand what they truly want from this life.
I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Whether a client comes to therapy feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, grieving, navigating trauma, moving through a life transition, struggling with relationships, or feeling overwhelmed about the climate and the future, I offer a supportive space where clients can feel seen, held, and understood. Through this work, clients can build confidence, develop tools, and feel resourced enough to initiate the changes they would like to see in their lives.
My approach blends talk therapies (IFS, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, CBT, and DBT) with creative and embodied therapies such as expressive arts, play, body-based awareness, and connection to nature. This integrative approach can offer new insights and deeper compassion for yourself and your experiences in ways that talk therapy alone sometimes cannot. It can be especially helpful for children and teens, neurodivergent individuals, those living with trauma, and for couples and families engaging in relational repair.
I am a queer, neurodivergent practitioner. I work from a trauma-informed, culturally humble, anti-oppressive, and decolonizing framework. Clients and colleagues often describe me as a passionate guide who brings openness and creative warmth to the therapy space.

Fees: $165
Being a human being, with a human mind and emotions, navigating our very human cultures is confusing, and often painful. Talking to someone can help you get in touch with your own wisdom, or get a new perspective.
I have over 10 years of experience as a Registered Psychotherapist, working in both community agencies and in a college setting. This has given me a wealth of experience supporting adults (16+) with varied identities, backgrounds, and presenting issues: different cultures, faiths and philosophies; urban and rural folks, people of differing political views; people living with mental health problems, trauma, neurodivergence (ADHD/ADD or Autism); 2SLGBTQIA+ people; and people struggling with relationship issues in many different kinds of relationships.
I am primarily an ACT Therapist (pronounced like the word “act”, and not the letters that stand for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). When applicable, I also draw heavily on skills from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and I integrate ideas from Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). These are the theories and strategies that I find most helpful in my own life, and I enjoy sharing them with others.
I strive to build a safe, non-judgmental space where, together, we can discover where you’re getting stuck and how you can grow into a life that is authentic and meaningful to you.
I look forward to meeting you.

Welcome.
Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you've spent a long time trying to figure things out on your own. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out, disconnected from yourself, or caught in patterns that no longer make sense, you don't have to navigate it alone.
I believe our reactions make sense when we understand the experiences that shaped them. Together, we'll slow things down with curiosity rather than judgment, exploring how your nervous system, relationships, and life experiences have influenced the ways you've learned to cope, protect yourself, and move through the world.
This is not about "fixing" you. It's to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself so you can begin responding from a place of greater choice, self-trust, and compassion.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and relational. I draw primarily from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Mindful Self-Compassion while integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills when helpful. I work gently with both the mind and body, helping clients recognize nervous system patterns, understand protective parts, and create a greater sense of safety within themselves.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that therapy feels both grounding and practical. Together we make sense of your experiences, identify patterns, and build a shared understanding of what's happening beneath the surface—without rushing or forcing change before your system is ready.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My background includes community mental health, homelessness prevention, crisis intervention, and substance use services, allowing me to support people from many different walks of life. I provide gender-affirming, anti-oppressive care and welcome clients of all identities, cultures, and lived experiences.
Alongside trauma work, I enjoy supporting people who are navigating burnout, shame, self-criticism, relationship challenges, identity exploration, parenting, life transitions, substance use recovery, and the lasting impact of childhood experiences. I also welcome conversations around spirituality, meaning, and our relationship with nature when these are important parts of your healing.
Above all, I hope therapy becomes a place where you feel understood—not judged—and where you can begin to trust yourself again.

Currently on parental leave - returning summer 2027.
Hi! I'm Zach. Thank you for being here.
I work with folks of all genders and sexualities who are feeling fearful and hopeless right now. I am a neuro-inclusive therapist who supports autistic and ADHD individuals. My clients are often feeling isolated or misunderstood in their relationships. I work with couples who are finding it difficult to communicate their needs to each other, and with parents and their adult children to repair relationships.
I am a trans and queer therapist and my experiences inform my work. I know that we don’t exist in a vacuum, and we are constantly impacted both by our closer social networks, and by what is happening in the world. When we work together, we won’t ignore these impacts or try to disappear the feelings or reactions you have.
The kind of therapy I do is Relational Psychotherapy. It is a kind of psychodynamic psychotherapy, which means that I am interested in all of the stories of your past that make you the person you are today. This is a great modality for folks looking for longer term support and to dig deeper into understanding why hurts and heartaches and loneliness keeps repeating. We will do work beyond just understanding your past. We get to build a relationship as a client and therapist which is an opportunity to experientially learn that you are not alone, that you are important, and that you can rely on others.

I'm so glad you're here! Whether you decide to book a consult with me or one of my colleagues, congratulations on taking this step to focus on your mental health.
I am a gay, cis-gendered, white settler grateful to live in Toronto (Tkaronto). I've been lucky to serve clients with identities including queer, trans, neurodivergent (including autism and ADHD), members of the global majority, kinky, and consensually non-monogamous.
My primary therapeutic approach is currently internal family system (IFS) therapy. If you've ever said, "A part of me feels one way, but another part of me feels the opposite," you're already speaking IFS' language. I can help you meet and accept the many parts of yourself, learn why they feel/think/behave as they do, and discover your natural ability to calm your distress and heal old hurts. Along the way, folks tend to increase their confidence, courage, and clarity through self-compassion.
I’ve worked with people dealing with emotions such as anxiety, anger, abandonment, depression, loneliness, guilt, and grief; behaviours such as perfectionism, procrastination, emotional disconnection, self-criticism, dissociation, and low self-esteem; and situations such as toxic workplaces, recent break-ups, and exploring sexuality and gender identity/expression.
Outside of this work, I love running, mindfulness meditation, board games, live music, and learning dance moves from TikTok.
I’m accepting new clients for in-person sessions in Toronto and virtual sessions across Ontario. If you think we might be a fit, please book a consult!

With a passion for helping others, I bring a wealth of experience in supporting individuals through various challenges. My practice is rooted in a deep understanding of the unique experiences of adolescents and adults, and I have a particular focus on working with those dealing with grief, intimate partner violence, post-partum, and trauma.
As an advocate for the 2SLGBTQ+ community, I work through a queer, anti-oppressive lens, ensuring that my practice is inclusive and affirming for all individuals. My approach is grounded in empathy and warmth, providing a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your feelings and experiences without fear of judgment.
I believe in the power of a supportive therapeutic relationship to foster healing and personal growth. My aim is to walk alongside you on your journey, offering a compassionate and understanding presence as you work towards your goals.

Hello, and welcome! I’m thankful you’re taking this brave step in seeking support. Here’s a little about me so you can decide if I’d be a good fit for you.
My experience in supporting others has largely been with youth and young adults, 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, harm reduction, neurodivergence, and individuals seeking to build upon their internal awareness and communication skills. In our sessions, I strive to create a space that acknowledges the systems affecting your daily life, values your inherent wisdom, and invites courage to share your story. My approach is holistic, relationship-centred, and trauma-informed.
I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative, and Somatic theories—methods that focus on understanding all parts of yourself and addressing every aspect of life, including spirit, body, and mind. These approaches help us explore your experiences in a way that fosters healing and growth through a focus on your story, parts, and values. I thrive in conversations that take us beyond the surface and dive a little deeper through our internal world.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, playing board games, spending time in nature, and picking up new hobbies—currently, I’m training for a triathlon and learning new baking skills! I believe creativity is a powerful tool for self-exploration, and I encourage you to bring your interests into our sessions.
As a lifelong learner, I am continually inspired by the chance to walk alongside others and be trusted with their stories. I offer virtual sessions across Ontario and in-person sessions in our London and Toronto offices. It would be an honour to support you in reaching your goals and building a life that aligns with your values. If you feel we might be a good match, please reach out for a free consultation. Let’s begin this journey together.

Hello, I’m Julie González and I’m glad you’re here! I would like to welcome you on your personal journey of growing, understanding, and healing.
As a mental health professional, I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with 17 years of experience working in mental health care through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with a psycho-educational and bio-psychosocial perspective. Furthermore, having the opportunity of being a university professor in my home country for 14 years, I have learned that having knowledge of different approaches to therapy brings benefits in the process of teaching patients how to work on themselves and on their problems constructively.
My studies and career as a Clinical Psychologist and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) working in person and virtually, have shown me the importance of comprehending cultural diversity. And in this path, I have had the opportunity to support individuals with social and emotional concerns, developing strategies to cope with daily challenges to facilitate clients' awareness and emotional growth. Following the above, my specialties are depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, ADHD, social skills, coping strategies, family relationships, and emotional regulation. I also have experience helping people navigate the emotional impact and medical process of having cancer, HIV, and AIDS.
Outside of work, I enjoy sharing moments with my family and friends, cooking, going out to eat, and visiting new towns and cities. When I am by myself, I love spending time watching murder mystery series and psychological thrillers. I also find it relaxing to organize and rearrange my home, listen to music, dance, and play guitar.
If you need someone to talk to that is open-minded and trustworthy, I’ll be here and when you’re ready, we can talk within a safe space - whether in English or Spanish! Looking forward to meeting you and starting this process together.

Hola, mi nombre es Julie González y me alegra que estés aquí. Quisiera darte una cordial bienvenida y apoyarte en tu camino de crecimiento personal, comprensión y sanación.
Como profesional de la salud mental, tengo una maestría y especialización en Psicología Clínica y 19 años de experiencia trabajando en el cuidado de la salud mental a través de la Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual con una perspectiva psicoeducativa y biopsicosocial.

Mis estudios como Psicóloga Clínica y Psicoterapeuta Registrada (en proceso de certificación), así como mi trayectoria profesional en la que he trabajado presencial y virtualmente, con personas pertenecientes a diferentes países en América y Europa, han influido en la importancia que le concedo a la diversidad cultural dentro de la terapia. En este camino, he tenido la oportunidad de apoyar a personas con dificultades sociales y emocionales desarrollando estrategias para afrontar los desafíos diarios y facilitar la consciencia y el crecimiento emocional. Además de lo anterior, mis especialidades son los trastornos depresivos, los trastornos de ansiedad, TDAH, las habilidades sociales, las estrategias de afrontamiento, las relaciones familiares y la regulación emocional. De igual forma, tengo experiencia ayudando a personas a afrontar el impacto emocional y el proceso médico de padecer cáncer, VIH y SIDA.
Fuera del trabajo, disfruto compartir momentos con mi familia y amigos, salir a comer y conocer nuevas ciudades y lugares. Cuando estoy sola, me encanta ver series de misterio y thrillers psicológicos. También me relaja organizar y reorganizar mi casa, escuchar música, bailar y tocar guitarra.
Si necesitas hablar con alguien de mente abierta y confiable, estaré aquí y, cuando estés list@, podemos hablar en un espacio seguro, ¡ya sea en inglés o en español! Espero conocerte y comenzar este proceso junt@s.

The idea of sitting across from a stranger and feeling pressure to be vulnerable can be incredibly daunting. I’ve been there, I attend counselling myself! Many of us have felt the nerves that come with the unknowns of meeting a new counsellor for the first time, especially when you aren't quite feeling like yourself and are reaching out for support. My goal is to help you feel at ease by conducting sessions where you feel most comfortable. Whether that be in my calm, cozy office here at Blueprint, online where you can enjoy the comfort of your own home, or out in the fresh air on Walk and Talk sessions, where we can experience the benefits of natural surroundings in one of London's beautiful parks while walking side by side. I’m here for you, at times that work for your busy schedule.
My practice is a dynamic one of authenticity and non-judgement, and as someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with people, I come to my sessions with warmth and humor at the forefront (oh, and a sprinkling of an Irish accent!). I firmly believe that understanding your mental health and how your mind and body processes thoughts and feelings is crucial to obtaining mental wellness, and I utilize both talk therapy and mind-body (somatic) practices to help get you there.
With 5+ years of counselling experience in the field of domestic violence, I have gained a trauma-informed, feminist, and anti-oppressive perspective, and this is consistent in both my personal and professional life. I enjoy working with folks from many walks of life; individuals, couples, parents, and anyone navigating depression, anxiety, stress, burn-out, life transitions, and many other life difficulties. It can be so rough out there, and you don’t have to go through it alone. Please connect for a free consultation, I’m here, and I’d love to meet you!

Welcome! I’m Vogue and I’m so glad you’re here.
My foremost goal as a therapist is to create a safe space where my clients can exist as their most authentic selves. I am passionate about welcoming and celebrating humans in all forms. I practice with radical acceptance, unconditional positive regard and deep compassion for my clients. My intention is to consistently apply a trauma-informed, culturally responsive and anti-oppressive lens to all of my work. My approach is warm and non-judgemental, with a healthy dose of honesty and humour.
Since 2015, I have had the privilege of supporting children, youth, and their families in the education sector, community mental health agencies and the justice system. I bring expertise and interest in working with attachment wounds, relational trauma, mood and emotional regulation, self-harm, executive functioning concerns, social difficulties and parenting questions.
Some areas I enjoy focusing on are self-compassion, self-worth and confidence building, queer identity exploration and navigating life as a neurodivergent human. That being said, I believe each and every client is wholly unique, and will work with you to co-create your therapeutic plan according to your needs.
I am a Registered Social Worker (OCSWSSW) with a Masters Degree in Social Work from King’s University College. If you would like to know more about my experience and training please see my LinkedIn profile for more information. I look forward to working with you.

Being human is messy, but you don’t have to go it alone. Reaching out is a big step and I hope you give yourself credit for showing up to care for yourself in this way.
Maybe your days feel overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, you feel stuck in trauma responses, or you’re struggling to navigate grief or a major life transition. Perhaps you’re exhausted and just don’t feel like yourself. Whatever brings you to counselling, I am here to hold space for your pain and help you reach for hope. Positive shifts are possible.
I partner closely with my clients to foster a warm and non-judgmental environment – this is your space and all of you is welcome here. You’ll be supported in bringing compassionate curiosity to your experiences and (re)connecting with your sense of self and safety so you can move through the world in ways that feel more authentic and grounded.
As a therapist, I primarily work from an Internal Family Systems framework (“parts work”) with the flexibility of an eclectic style to match your unique preferences and needs. Other approaches I often draw on include somatic and nervous system-focused work, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindful self-compassion, and DBT skills. We’ll work together to find what feels right for you.
I look forward to meeting you and walking with you toward the kind of life you want to be living.

Have you been feeling like you’ve lost touch with yourself, or are wondering how to access the person inside who you know is calm, confident, creative, and free? In therapy, I can support you through building a compassionate relationship with parts of yourself you might be having a hard time accepting, including ones that have caused harm to yourself or someone else.
You might be navigating difficult or abusive family or caregiver relationships, exploring attachment, or looking for support processing past traumas. My practice includes support for parents who want to show up differently for their children, adults and youth exploring gender or sexual identity, and anyone with ADHD or Autism navigating shame that can accompany late diagnosis. I also support clients who are navigating relationship challenges and are looking to deepen their connection by understanding how their own wounds affect their openness and authenticity. I work with people in all types of relationship structures.
My approach is mostly informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and parts work, which helps clients develop insight, self-compassion, and healthier relationships with themselves. Creativity is an important part of my life, and I sometimes bring art, music, or other creative approaches into sessions to support growth and self-expression.
I am part of queer communities and have previously worked as a sexual health educator and systems navigator at a local community health centre. Being in private practice has been a long-term dream of mine, and I am honoured to be trusted with people’s stories and with supporting them through life’s transformations.
If you feel drawn to explore therapy and want to see if we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out. I would love to meet you.

I know it's hard to ask for help and I'm so glad you're here. I offer a warm, calm, nonjudgemental space to explore whatever concerns are on your mind. Healing starts where you're at and I look forward to meeting you there.
I've been working as a psychotherapist since 2011 and have worked in hospitals, schools, community counselling agencies and the criminal justice system. I've had experience supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent (ADHD and autistic) people, newcomers to Canada, trauma survivors and people with mental health and substance use concerns. I am constantly inspired by the creativity and resilience of the people I have the privilege of collaborating with. If you're curious and would like to know more about my training and experience check out my Linkedin profile for more information.
I’m also an experienced clinical supervisor and offer supervision to registered social workers, psychotherapists and other mental health professionals. If you’re interested in exploring this form of support, have a look at my clinical supervision page for more information.
At this time I am only accepting referrals from individuals who are interested in pursuing psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. However, we have a number of compassionate counsellors on our team that are currently accepting new clients. You can email our intake team at info@bpcounselling.com to be matched with a counsellor who is currently available.

Within counselling, I strive to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space in which we can collaboratively explore your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. I use a person-centered approach which is tailored to address your unique circumstances and concerns. My focus is on assisting you in developing the insight and strategies you need to move towards a healthy life and meaningful future. I draw from Cognitive-Behavioural and Mindfulness-Based therapies to help you gain clarity about your challenges, identify resources and solutions, and develop skills for coping.
I am a Registered Social Worker (OCSWSSW) with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Windsor. I also hold a Bachelor of Education from Western University. I have prior experience counselling older adults and post-secondary students experiencing a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and chronic pain/illness. As a former educator, I also have extensive experience and training in supporting youth and their families as they navigate life with ADHD, Autism and other (dis)abilities.
I would be honoured to walk alongside you as you make transitions in your life. Whether you’re starting something new; making a change; grieving a loss; or coping with an unexpected turn, I’m here to support you in the process.

Sometimes children and teens don't have the words for what they're going through—and sometimes they simply don't want to sit across from an adult and talk about it. That's where creativity, play, imagery and story can offer another way to connect.
I am a master's-trained Art Therapist with an MA in Creative Arts Therapies, specializing in Art Therapy, and 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults and families. Much of my work has involved counselling children and youth through Victim Services and other community organizations, including young people who have experienced trauma, witnessed domestic violence, navigated major family changes, or found it difficult to express what they are feeling. I have also worked extensively with women who are survivors of intimate partner violence.
In our sessions, we can talk—but talking doesn't have to be the only option. Depending on your or your child's interests and needs, I may incorporate drawing, painting, sculpting, sand tray, therapeutic play, storytelling, drama, imagery or guided drawing. You don't need to be "good at art." The focus is never on artistic technique or creating a polished product, but on curiosity, expression and what we may discover through the creative process. I often think of the creative work as a helpful third presence in the room—something we can become curious about together without all of the attention being focused directly on you.
My approach is warm, playful, non-judgmental and strengths-based, and is informed by developmental, psychodynamic, trauma-informed and anti-oppressive perspectives. I value collaborating with parents and caregivers while also creating a space where children and teens can develop trust, choice and a sense that their own voice matters.
I also welcome adults—particularly women, trauma survivors and anyone drawn to a more creative form of counselling. I offer both in-person and virtual counselling, and together we can find an approach that feels comfortable and meaningful for you or your child.
