Vancouver Therapists specializing in ADHD

Refresh Therapy

Refresh Therapy strives to provide an environment where you will experience possibilities, genuine interaction and comfort.

Katie Playfair

Most of my clients have OCD, body-focused repetitive behaviors, body dysmorphia, are Autistic, or are coping with running psychologically "tight." I enjoy working with people who feel skeptical or even cynical about counseling and work to make therapy an effective, fun, and educational experience where they have total visibility into the process. While I work with folks with a variety of career types, I specialize in helping technology professionals, since I worked in that world for many years.

Jennifer DiStefano

I offer hope to children and parents who feel as though they've tried everything. Children need help to express and make sense of their experiences without language that adults use. I support your family when your child cannot easily settle in for learning or playing. I work with children as young as 2 to enable them - and their "big people" - to cope with challenges including taking on too much responsibility, getting in trouble at school, and sometimes even fun activities aren't as much fun.

JESSICA VAN DER MERWE

I focus on adolescent and Adult ADHD, particularly in girls and women. ADHD can severely impact how we feel about ourselves, how we relate to others, and what kind of risks we take in work and life. I work with you to build self esteem, confidence in your abilities and relationships, and discover the "super power" that ADHD can truly be.

Dr. Ryan Lloyd

I am experienced and skills in the psychological assessment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I provide comprehensive, individualized evaluations that provide a clear diagnosis and a path to support and treatment. I also see a limited number of individuals with an ADHD diagnosis for ongoing therapy/coaching and support.

Mark Best

I have historically worked with young people, particularly young men ages 11-25. I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, sexual assault, suicidal ideation, self-harm, LGBTQ+ issues, spirituality, and substance abuse. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as my framework and draw on other practices as well such as narrative therapy, DBT and play therapy. I have worked with sex offenders, clients with personality disorders and those who have criminal justice histories.

Diane Ornelas

Do you consider yourself an over-thinker? Introvert? Atypical or Alien? Do you have ADHD or wonder if you do? Are you overwhelmed with anxiety due to difficulty being your authentic self around others? Do you live an alternative lifestyle or are you in a nontraditional relationship/s? Are you a digital nomad? Are you having trouble adjusting to life changes or new roles? Then I would love to work with you!

Juniper Wong

If you're a BIPOC client who is ready to do the brave inner work of healing intergenerational trauma, shame, & limiting beliefs, welcome! You're a passionate soul with a burning desire to know the truth about yourself so you can experience authentic intimacy. You understand that healing lifetimes of trauma can take time, compassion, & discomfort (trust me, I wish it was easier!). Finally, you're open to evidence-based practices sprinkled with bits of woo-woo, humor, mind-body work, & science.

Devon Davis Williamson

My clients seek a therapist who is anti-racist, body-positive, kink and identity-affirming. I specialize in working with survivors of childhood abuse, folks with complex trauma, and queer & trans folks. Often the work is around self-awareness, life patterns, identity development, stress responses, self-image, trauma release and around trans identity. I am currently taking self-pay clients for virtual therapy. I offer primary and secondary assessment and letters for medical transition.

Lisa Wittorff

I work with parents to help them understand how to connect with their children, parent them according to the needs of their particular brains, and reduce drama within their homes. I also work with parents of children who are expressing they are not the gender they were assigned at birth, helping parents understand how to navigate this with their children. I also provide individual therapy for children and young adults to help them live happier, healthier lives.

KIMBERLY GERHARDT

We are living in unusual, uncertain times and anxiety seems to be showing up everywhere. Life can feel overwhelming and complicated. Anxiety in all its forms thrives on being overwhelming and complicated! We often spend a great deal of time and money looking for the answers to WHY questions: “Why can’t I enjoy a social gathering? Why can't I enjoy things the way they are?” Improvement and change require resources, both internal and external. My job is to help access the ones you’ve already deve

Dora Angevine

Becca Dorn-Medeiros

I work with adolescents, emerging adults, and the people who support their life transitions: college and leaving home, gender identity, and serious relationships. I create clear boundaries, and treat with authenticity and humor. Body positive, action-oriented, culturally responsive, compassionate realism.

Cory Anton

Anxiety sucks, let's face it. If you're sick of using coping skills that only seem to scratch the surface and you're ready to experience healing and relief, together we will help you get your life back and put anxiety back in its place!

Gregory Devore

As your advocate, my collaborative approach provides a safe place to feel understood and receive helpful, proactive feedback.

Aaren Connors

Most of my clients come to therapy because they are figuring out how to navigate the world as a queer and/or trans person. Whether you're seeking help with transition or exploring gender, or simply wishing to address other life concerns with a therapist who understands your lived experience as a trans person, we will meet you exactly where you are at right now. I have experience working with trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive youth and adults, as well as individuals questioning their gender.

Laura Aubert

My goal is to assist clients to aim to achieve a higher sense of well-being. The therapeutic alliance can create a powerful and healing connection. Everyone has the capacity within themselves to grow, develop, and integrate healing into their daily lives. I am passionate about the healing powers of nature. I will help foster each client’s self-growth through integrative treatments that are tailored to your therapeutic needs, as these are a catalyst for change.

Angela Riesterer

The heart of my work is trauma resolution. Much of our trauma in life occurs within relationships. We have been deeply hurt, betrayed, rejected, abandoned, abused. This pain of this is so profound it powerfully shapes us. We find ourselves engaging and behaving in ways and relationships in which we continue to suffer. We are the walking wounded repeating patterns that keep us stuck. I long for people to get to the root of these wounds, resolve the pain and trauma, and become whole and free.

David Hunter

One of the biggest reasons I enjoy being a therapist is getting the opportunity to help my clients navigate their symptoms of ADHD, anxiety and Trauma. My hope is that by partnering with my clients, I can help them minimize the confusion, frustration and sadness caused by their symptoms. My desired result for those that work with me will be that they ultimately experience greater focus, calm and contentment.

Jenni Goldstein

Many of my clients have tried therapy in the past and left hungry for real, integrated change. I work with those who are committed to the long-term work of healing complex trauma and attachment wounding through experiential work. I specialize in working with activists, artists and healers, and particularly those who are ready for deep transformative healing, so they can better do their work in the world, from a place of clarity and internal peace.
