Welcome to Deep Roots Therapies

Deep Roots Therapies also offers a refuge to help neurodivergent individuals (1) explore the roots of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, (2) identify and communicate their unique strengths, needs and challenges, (3) foster ways to meaningfully connect with others as well as the more-than-human world.

​

As a clinician and through my own life experiences I have a deep understanding of how being neurodivergent can impact how we show up or enjoy life. I am non-judgemental, ethical, and use evidence-based assessment and skills development practices built to your specific service needs. 

​

Do you struggle in relationships or social situations? Maybe think you are Autistic? Have you had challenges in school or work because of learning or focus issues (e.g., ADHD, learning disabilities)?​​​

​

Whether or not you were formally diagnosed or you self-identify as neurodivergent (e.g., ADHD, Learning, Autistic), Deep Roots Therapies offers a variety of strategies to help in school, work, relationships, or day-to-day living. This includes ways to help manage life stress demands and overwhelm, minimizing avoidance and isolation, as well as discovering a persons's strength's and resilience, advocating for environmental changes to meet each person's unique needs. 

 

This can broadly include (1) access to and salient educational information on what it means to be neurodivergent, (2) discussion of websites, books, social media and other important resources from the neurodivergent community, (3) strategies to increase your emotional awareness, (4) Identifying thoughts and thinking patterns, (5) naming and connection with sensory preferences, (6) social skills and relationship resources (e.g., boundary setting), (7) time management and executive-functioning (EF) resource tools.​

​

Being neurodivergent simply means you are different. Not better or worse. It's time to help discover ways you can respond rather than react to life. Dare to know and ask for what you need from others. Who knows how well you may be surprised...
