Does my teen need an ADHD diagnosis before starting therapy?

No. Therapy can help with focus, organization, emotions and self-esteem whether or not there's a formal diagnosis. If you're wondering about an assessment, your family doctor is a good place to start.

What if my teen doesn't want to go?

Very normal. A free consultation is a low-pressure way for them to meet me, ask questions and see that therapy isn't a scary lecture. Teens usually feel more on board when they have some say in the process.

Can teens do ADHD therapy virtually?

Yes. I offer virtual sessions anywhere in Ontario, as well as in-person sessions in Oakville.

Will I be involved as a parent?

It depends on your teen's age and needs. We'll talk together about what involvement looks like, while respecting your teen's privacy, so everyone knows what to expect.
