Adapting to change isn’t just a “nice skill” for teens—it’s a core part of healthy development.

Adolescence is already a time of rapid shifts (social, emotional, physical, academic), so learning how to navigate change helps teens stay grounded instead of overwhelmed.

Here’s why it really matters:

1. Builds emotional resilience.

2. Supports identity development

3. Improves problem-solving skills

4. Strengthens relationships

5. Reduces anxiety around uncertainty

6. Prepares them for adulthood

If you have ADHD, you might notice something:
podcasts and audiobooks make you feel more productive

Here’s why:

• They add just enough stimulation to keep your mind engaged
• You can listen while moving (which often improves focus) - hitting that multitasking goal
• They reduce the effort that reading can require
• The variety + storytelling gives your brain a dopamine boost
• You can pause and rewind without losing your place
• They can feel like “company,” making tasks less overwhelming

For many people with ADHD, it’s not about distraction—
it’s actually a tool for focus, motivation, and getting through the day.

If you’ve ever needed background noise to get things done…
Try podcasts or audio books !

Emotional safety is a key foundation of healthy relationships.
It allows for vulnerability, honesty, and connection—without fear of judgment or rejection.

If you’ve never experienced it, you may not realize how much you’ve been holding in.

I did a thing…

Said goodbye to 9 inches…

Not all intense friendships are healthy ones.

Sometimes what feels like a deep, “unbreakable” connection is actually a cycle of closeness, hurt, and repair. Over time, this can create a strong emotional pull that’s hard to step away from—even when the relationship is draining you.

If you find yourself feeling anxious, responsible for someone else’s emotions, or stuck in repeated highs and lows, it might be more than just friendship.

You deserve relationships that feel safe, steady, and supportive—not confusing or overwhelming.

💛 It’s okay to take a step back.
💛 It’s okay to choose healthier connections.

Another post in honour of the anniversary of the opening

My WHY

I’ve shared my why before but I thought why not do it again :)

When I was in grade 9 , my best friends brother (who was also best friends with mine) died .
My mom - being the mother bear she is - had all of my friends over to support my friend.
We cooked all day and allowed us to just be together , even if it meant just watching movies .

When the school was notified , they sent over their social worker.
And let me tell you … it was NOT helpful .
I hold space now that she was likely out of her element in my home .
But all we did was cram on the couch with her on the other side of the room in a chair.
I don’t even remember what she said or asked , I only remember being awkward.
We went back to school and I just felt like the school system was failing us, I felt like my friend wasn’t getting all the support she should.
I remember thinking something is missing.
Two years later I took a psychology class and absolutely loved it !! My teacher was amazing (shout out if you’re ever reading this and remember me)
It was in that class I realized maybe I was meant for helping and supporting people.

Next thing you know I’ve got a masters and heading to my first job to work with teens.

Then I had kids and I realized there’s such a need for support for little kids ! So I was trained in play therapy .

Then I began supporting parents and realized a lot of mom struggle with parenting, everyday life, work life balance, and their own mental health.

So I followed the road of working with adults and then couples.

And here I am :)

7 years later supporting ages 4 to adulthood

Here is my why :)

03/28/2026

With the anniversary
Let’s do another who am I !

Hi I’m Siobhan
And I’m the owner and Psychotherapist of Major Psychotherapy.
I work with children as young as 4 until adulthood.
Supporting through individual therapy , family therapy and couples therapy.

What I’ve recently learned is that I describe my therapeutic model as humanistic.
I want to meet clients where they are at and notice that they are humans first
They are parents , children, friends, employees, partners, teammates. All of that shapes who they are.
Therapy isn’t linear and I need to understand these pieces of a persons life in order to understand them and better support.

This is why I bring myself as a human into session too.
I’m not the therapist who will have a straight face and nod their head .
We are going to laugh, shake our heads, play and sometimes disclose .
Oh yes - the fearful word disclose.

Because I follow a humanistic line, sometimes I do disclose . Yes most of my clients know I have children or young kids .
When I work with parents I let them know I also have been through the trenches , I know it’s hard to balance work, life, and personal growth .
I am married, I know committed relationships are work.

And I share those tidbits so that clients know I’m here with them. We can be real together .

At the end of the day , I work towards being on my clients team. However I need to get there .

Therapy is raw, vulnerable and real.
But it has lots of benefits !

Today Major Psychotherapy turns 2 years old 🎉

Two years of conversations, courage, growth, and healing.

Two years ago i started this practice as a virtual practice, as a way to explore myself in a therapeutic sense outside of my community mental health.
Five months later I had an in person space to support more individuals.
A year later i went on a leave from my job so i could focus on family and myself, resulting in me making the choice to permanently leave that job to pursue my practice.

When I started this practice, my goal was to create a space where children, teens, adults, and families could feel supported, understood, and not alone in what they’re going through. Watching that space grow over the past two years has been incredibly meaningful.

Thank you to every client, family, colleague, and community member who has trusted Major Psychotherapy and supported this journey.

I never thought my practice would grow in this way.

I’m so grateful to continue doing this work.
I can't wait see what the next year brings.

Thankyou again for all your support !
And please remember to reach out to Major Psychotherapy if you or someone you know is in need of support :)

People often ask me why i choose to work with young kids to adults.

The truth is - i love the change and challenge.

I love going from working with an adult and challenging their core beliefs they have held for years, watching them set boundaries, and having deeper reflective conversations.
To playing candy land and uno while building distress tolerance, making crafts, the ability to work with an entire family, and use my creative side.

All these ages bring me something different with my passion for this job.
Having the ability to work with various ages allows for me to utilize all parts of my therapeutic brain and challenge myself to continue to learn and grow.

There are many misconceptions about therapy, that can even stop people from reaching out for support.

Here are some common myths about therapy !

03/12/2026

If therapy had a playlist, what would be on it today?

Some days sound like calm and grounding.
Some days feel like power anthems and confidence boosts.
Some days need a good cry-it-out song.
And some days are all about “I’ve got this” energy.

Therapy holds space for all of it — the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Every feeling has a place here 🎧
