ADHD Therapists in Halifax, NS

Hi there, I'm Tanya. I enjoy supporting youth to Millennials who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and ADHD, amongst a variety of other emotional difficulties. Life has been difficult, especially throughout these unprecedented times, and can result in troubles with worrying, focus and attention, low self-esteem, feelings of isolation, relationship issues, and overwhelming negative thoughts. It's not easy. The good news is that despite these difficulties, counselling can help turn the tide around; it offers a safe space to gain new insights, coping skills, and confidence to overcome challenges and start feeling better.

I'm an Occupational Therapist, working primarily in mental health and in with autistic/ADHD populations. I do have ADHD myself, and find that to be a strength when working with other neurodivergent people. I see clients virtually on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Typical topics covered are: self-compassion, executive functioning, distress tolerance, sensory sensitivities, education on neurodivergency and mental health, small goals to address your current specific needs (social, work, hobbies, sleep, self-care, physiological needs), and helping to connect to other resources.

With over twenty years’ experience in both the public and private sectors, I enjoy helping children, teens and young adults achieve wellness and authentic living. I provide assessment services for various learning, behavioural and attentional challenges as well as screening and support for suspected mental health issues. Counselling therapy is quite central to my practice, as is continuing consultation and advocacy post-assessment.

My counselling is specialized in the area of behavioral health. Lifestyle factors including sleep, exercise & diet are explored, within the context of the 'mind-body connection', to identify and apply research-backed interventions promoting long-term health. Clients seeking weight loss & weight loss management and those with chronic metabolic issues such as type 2 diabetes (and associated conditions like depression) may benefit from this specialized service.

I completed my Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia and my Ph.D. in Applied Psychology from The University of Calgary in 2001. I was a lecturer in the Psychology Department at St. Francis Xavier University for seven years. My areas of practice include treatment and assistance for ADHD, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, disordered eating, stress management, workplace issues, career counselling, relationship issues, couples counselling, and sport/performance psychology. I offer in person sessions as well as video, and phone sessions.
