Yoodles 👋🏼 It's Laurel, the face behind The Cognitive Canopy: Psychotherapy & Support for the Neurodiverse Community 🤸🏽‍♀️🤘🏼I also have ADHD, so I "practice what I preach" 🐿️.

I went back to school at 41 and completed a Master of Counselling Psychology in May...with Honours 🎓✨ And yes, I am pretty damn proud of this accomplishment, as I did not think was possible for myself until I turned 40.

Getting to the point where I felt confident enough to tackle a Masters meant that I had been treating my ADHD & anxiety consistently for the previous 5 years; meaning a combination of medication, psychoeducation, ADHD coaching & therapy, as well as adequate sleep, diet and supplements, etc. In other words, the effective treatment of ADHD requires a holistic and comprehensive approach; I found what works for my ADHD and now assist my clients to find their optimal approach to neurodiversity.

I look forward to sharing my personal and professional perspectives of ADHD with you, under 🌿 The Cognitive Canopy 🌿

Please note that as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), social media is used for education, ADHD coaching and coping skills; individual & family psychotherapy services can be sought out through my website and will not be offered through this platform.
