Evidence-Based ADHD Therapy Approaches

Our ADHD therapy services in Toronto incorporate multiple therapeutic approaches proven effective for adults with ADHD:

Frequently Asked Questions About ADHD Therapy

Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to benefit from ADHD therapy?
While an official diagnosis can be helpful, you don't need one to benefit from ADHD-informed therapy. If you're experiencing ADHD-like symptoms, we can provide support and help you explore whether seeking an assessment might be beneficial.
Is ADHD therapy covered by insurance in Ontario?
Yes, therapy sessions with a Registered Psychotherapist are covered by most extended health insurance plans in Ontario. This includes ADHD-focused therapy and support services.
How is ADHD therapy different from regular therapy?
ADHD therapy is specifically adapted to how ADHD brains work. Sessions are often more interactive, practical, and skill-focused. The therapist understands ADHD challenges and builds on ADHD strengths rather than seeing ADHD as something to overcome.
Can therapy help with ADHD medication decisions?
While I cannot prescribe medication, therapy can complement medical treatment by helping you understand your ADHD better, develop coping strategies, and make informed decisions about treatment options in consultation with your healthcare provider.
How long does ADHD therapy typically take?
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and needs. Some people benefit from short-term focused work on specific skills, while others prefer ongoing support. We'll work together to determine what approach works best for you.
Do you offer virtual ADHD therapy sessions?
Yes, we offer secure virtual therapy sessions which can be particularly convenient for adults with ADHD who may struggle with commuting or prefer the comfort of their own space.
