NW Calgary ADHD Therapy

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we collaborate with you to create a plan that fits your lifestyle, goals, and unique strengths. As registered psychologists with the College of Alberta Psychologists, we are highly committed to ongoing professional development so that we can stay current with the latest research in ADHD and neurodivergent mental health care.

When you begin counselling at KM Counselling, your therapist will take time during the initial sessions to get to know you, your strengths, challenges, and life context. For clients seeking ADHD-specific support, this may include screening tools and collaborative discussions about symptoms, behaviours, and how ADHD impacts your daily life. While we do not provide formal ADHD diagnoses, we can offer referrals for assessment and support you in exploring whether ADHD-related challenges may be part of your experience.

Working with a trained psychologist can help you build the skills to manage your symptoms and harness the strengths of ADHD. Through a combination of behavioural therapy, emotional regulation strategies, mindfulness-based techniques, and cognitive approaches, you can experience meaningful symptom relief and lasting change.
