Therapy That Respects How Your Brain Works
This service supports adults who identify as neurodivergent, including ADHD and autistic individuals. Therapy focuses on understanding your experience, not changing who you are.
How Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy Can Help
Living in systems not designed for neurodivergent minds can lead to constant stress and exhaustion. Therapy helps unpack where this pressure comes from and supports you in finding ways to move through life with less strain and self-blame.
Strong emotions, shutdowns, or feeling easily overwhelmed are not personal failures. Therapy focuses on understanding your nervous system and building regulation strategies that actually work for you.
Many neurodivergent people have spent years masking or doubting themselves. Therapy supports unlearning shame, strengthening self-trust, and reconnecting with your strengths.
For many clients, therapy also includes support with planning, focus, time management, routines, and follow-through. Rather than forcing systems that don’t fit, we work together to find strategies that align with how your brain works.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Support (ADHD & Autism)
This service offers neurodiversity-affirming support for adults and teens who identify as neurodivergent, including ADHD and autistic individuals. At Théla Psychotherapy Clinic, we honour each person’s unique brain and lived experience. You do not need a diagnosis to receive care.
We help with focus and attention challenges, emotional regulation, sensory overload, masking and burnout, routine building and executive functioning, relationship and communication concerns, and feeling misunderstood or “different.” Support is available in Markham, Toronto, or virtually across Ontario.
Sessions are validating, collaborative, and tailored to how your brain works. This is a supportive space to unmask, learn tools, and reconnect with your strengths.

Book NowQuestions About Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
No. A formal diagnosis is not required to access neurodivergent-affirming therapy. Many people are self-identified, questioning, or still exploring what fits for them. Therapy focuses on your lived experience, not labels.
This is psychotherapy provided within a neurodivergent-affirming framework. Sessions may include emotional support, identity exploration, nervous system regulation, and practical strategies when helpful.
No. Neurodivergent-affirming therapy is not about fixing or changing you. The focus is on understanding how your brain works and reducing shame.
That experience is very common. Therapy offers space to explore masking, burnout, and self-doubt at your own pace.
Both services are grounded in a neurodivergent-affirming approach. Executive functioning support focuses more on practical skills like planning, routines, and follow-through. Neurodivergent-affirming therapy may focus more on emotional regulation, identity, and relationships. Many sessions naturally include elements of both.
That uncertainty is okay. You’re welcome to start with a consultation or session to explore whether this support feels right.
