Kate Burgess is a coach specializing in ADHD and ASD. Kate was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and also shares traits of Autism. She continues to learn how to embrace her neurodiverse brain through empathy and creativity, and is lit up by helping other neurodivergent folks learn to harness their unique talents. As well as working with ADHD and Autistic youth, she has a background and training in video game addictions, grief and bereavement, and LGBTQ issues. ​Clients describe Kate as approachable, informed, silly, and empathetic.

On top of Kate’s thorough training in neurodiversity from her certification (ADHD & ASD Coaching Certification) at The ADHD & Spectrum Centre, Kate has a BA in Theatre Studies and a Postgraduate Certificate in Creative Book Publishing. Her extensive background in the arts has led to a keen interest in supporting artists and creative types embrace the power of their neurodiverse brains and thrive within their chosen medium. Kate enjoys coaching people of all ages and has a special place for supporting children and their parents as they learn how to understand and embrace neurodivergence in themselves and their kids. Kate spent many years avoiding therapy, coaching, and personal development after some negative experiences in high school. In adulthood, she has committed herself to personal growth and has learned the amazing benefits of letting positive therapeutic practices into her life. She has a deep understanding and empathy for those who dislike and are averse to counselling, and is honoured to hold space for those feelings. She offers a safe and non-judgemental space for her clients to seek support around any issue.

In her spare time, Kate is passionate about reading, cooking, spending time in nature and gathering the people she loves together in celebration.

Kate is available for online video, phone and text messaging support.​

Sim (she/they) is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and is currently doing their Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. Sim graduated from Carleton University with an Honours Degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice as well as received a Graduate Certificate in Addictions and Mental Health from Humber College.

Sim has experience working with youth and survivors of childhood trauma (sexual abuse) and identifies as a non-binary, queer person of colour. As a person who is newly coming to terms with misophonia, hyperlexia and being diagnosed as Autistic at a later age, she is super passionate about researching everything about the conditions to understand the day to day advantages and difficulties that come with these neurodifferences.

Coming from a multigenerational home and a community that did not recognize or support the diagnosis as a child has given Sim a unique perspective in growing up neurospicy with limited support and inaccessible services. As is common in people assigned female at birth, Sim was first misdiagnosed with anxiety and depression in their early twenties. She hopes that the difficult process of her own journey of self-discovery and acceptance can help clients in coming to terms with their diagnosis, gender identity, sexual orientation, and culture and how it can play a role in their identity.

Sim is especially excited about helping clients discover their uniqueness and to not only learn to accept but truly celebrate themselves. Her therapeutic style is trauma-informed and harm reduction based. It is very important for them to meet clients where they’re at in their journey. When not counselling, Sim loves (no, is obsessed with) lord of the rings and her cat (the great Gandalf). They spend most of their spare time reading, watching Anime, and doting on their plants.

As a mother with a child on the Autism spectrum, and diagnosed as an adult with ADHD herself, Amy has learned to accept and cherish the positive aspects of her and her son’s neurodivergence. From Amy’s own (and her family’s) experiences, she is very aware of the ableism pervasive in society that makes the lives of ADHDers, Autistics, and their loved ones so challenging. Amy has many personal strategies she’s experimented with over the years that help her thrive with neurodivergence and loves helping others find their own. Due to extra training and personal experience around LGBTQ+ and minority populations and issues (especially Trans, non-binary, and BIPOC-related needs), she is especially equipped to support these clients that most therapists often unintentionally mistreat.

Amy obtained her Social Work degree from Carleton University with a minor in Psychology. She later obtained a Masters Degree specializing in Gender Studies from the University of Ottawa and is a registered social worker. As well as working with neurodivergent people, some of her experiences include running workshops for youth struggling with addiction, counselling adults who struggle with addiction, and 3 years of experience working as a counselor for persons with developmental delays.

Her areas of interest and experience include but are not limited to working with and learning from…

● Persons with ADHD/Autism themselves

● Persons who experience gendered violence

● Persons struggling with addiction

● Parents with “difficult” children

● Parents with Neurodivergent children

● Persons dealing with racism or any kind of discrimination

● Nonbinary and trans people

● LGBTQ+ people struggling to cope in a heteronormative society

Amy is committed to personal growth, learning new things, and refuses to go through life without making it fun for herself and the people around her. Amy has a very warm and accepting style of therapy and is dedicated to giving her clients the best support possible, even if it means challenging her own assumptions. She sees her own therapist regularly to make sure she’s always offering her best self to clients and is always able to be at her sharpest for them. Amy knows what it’s like being in the client’s shoes and the bravery and strength it takes to go to counselling.

Sienna (she/her) was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and is a mother of two neurodivergent children. She is well aware of the void in the system when it comes to supporting the caregivers of children with heightened behavioral, social, and sensory challenges. Using a client centered, systems approach Sienna hopes to help fill this void by offering support and guidance to individuals who are directly and indirectly impacted by Autism/ADHD. We are happy to have Sienna with us while she is completing her Master’s in Counselling Psychology.

The lack of understanding of girls on the spectrum is an area Sienna is very passionate about. Her daughter was diagnosed with ADHD at six but her Autism diagnosis was not flagged until three years later, and this is unfortunately too common an experience in women and girls. Sienna is a big proponent for early diagnosis and equity for neurodivergent people and their families. When she’s not supporting her clients, she gets a lot of joy from her gaggle of cute animals (including birds, a bearded dragon, cats, and dogs), listening to audio books and hiking with her kids.

Diagnosed with ADHD in his 20s, Nat has spent his life driven by community and fascinated by the small things that help people thrive and feel like they belong. Nat’s most powerful experiences were working as a youth group leader for the last decade, where he was able to help his clients untangle their lives and find their inner leader in the midst of much humour and mutual weirdness.

Some of Nat’s areas of specialization include:

  • Working with Tradespeople
  • Working with children, youth, and families
  • Working with LGBTQ populations
  • Video Game/Screen Addiction
  • Spiritual Counselling
  • Counselling for those who self-identify as nerds: Those into D&D, board games, Magic The Gathering, etc.
  • Counselling for Athletes and Runners

When Nat discovered his own ADHD, he was able to take the eight years of specialized leadership training he had and better apply it to all aspects of his life. As a result of this training and his extremely thorough certification as an ADHD & Asperger’s/ASD Certified Coach (AACC), he has been better able to understand and harness his own restlessness (he’s now a dedicated runner) and special interests. He now feels so much more fulfilled as he has unlocked the many special abilities that come with his own Neurodivergence (instead of seeing them as burdens) and loves nothing more than helping others do the same for themselves.

On the topic of interests, Nat identifies as a huge nerd. Right now, he’s devouring several sci fi novels, and writing his own (he can’t get enough). He’s also been known to dabble in Minecraft, all types of video games, board games (he even created one once professionally), volunteering, and poetry (and a newfound interest in acrylic painting). Also anyone who knows Nat knows that he’s an avid Magic The Gathering player and a dedicated Dungeons and Dragons DM and he is always happy to incorporate any elements of his interests, or the interests of his clients, into his therapy and coaching sessions.

Nat deeply believes that counselling can often be fun and connective, even amidst the extremely hard psychological work that happens in session.

Rachel is a registered social worker with a great enthusiasm for the neurodivergent mind. She was diagnosed with ADHD at age 9 and it was eye opening! Rachel also has a parent and sibling with ADHD, and is very familiar with the effects it can have on the whole family. As well as supporting others with ADHD, she has experienced many of the challenges associated with ADHD personally, including areas like school, social life, chores, and relationship maintenance. She wants to be the person who helps others harness their neurodivergent minds so they can avoid (or at least be prepared for) the problems that come with living as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world. ​   Rachel earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s of Social Work degrees at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, where she developed a passion for a person-centered approach to therapy (all about what the person needs, not limited by one rigid method), believing that each client has unique challenges, strengths, and needs. She believes that mental health is a key component of overall wellbeing and is often overshadowed by physical health when it is at least equally important. Rachel has experience working with adults with severe intellectual disabilities in a group home setting as well as providing therapy to patients at a primary care office in a community struggling deeply from the results of poverty. Rachel works with clients to develop individualized and manageable goals and coping strategies that consider the whole system the person lives in, as well as to help process the trauma so common in fellow ADHDers & Autistics.   Rachel enjoys reading, cooking, baking (and eating!), spending time with family and friends, music, and being outdoors. She loves learning and takes every opportunity she can to expand her knowledge and understanding of the changing world.
