Did you know that boys (15%) are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than women (8%)?

Usually, ADHD doesn’t get recognized in girls and women because ADHD shows up differently in women than it does for men. It’s less obvious, and girls and women have a tendency at being very good at finding coping mechanisms that can hide ADHD for a long time.

This means we are seeing a lot of women being diagnosed with ADHD later in their life, when they are more exposed or educated on the signs and symptoms of ADHD.

The transition from summer to autumn marks a time of change.🍂 When the sap stops, the temperature drops, and the colours change, many of us see this time as a new start and an opportunity for change. While frightening to some and exciting to others, therapists tend to see an increase in client intake around this time as people decide to start or revisit their mental health journey.

We want to help you along your journey. We are currently accepting new clients and welcome anyone regardless of their circumstances. We offer low-cost counselling, virtual and in-person sessions, and a vibrant team of qualifying and registered psychotherapists.

If you feel like this is the right time for you to start your mental health journey, we would love to hear from you. Visit the link in our bio to contact us.🤎

Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process trauma and deep emotional pain.🧠 Unlike traditional talk therapy, it works by accessing the brain on a neurological level, allowing people to reach and heal parts of the mind that are often out of conscious awareness. This method can lead to the release of stored trauma, a reduction in anxiety and emotional distress, and better emotional regulation. Brainspotting has shown particular effectiveness in treating PTSD, phobias, performance anxiety, and unresolved grief, making it a valuable tool for both healing and personal growth by bridging the connection between body and mind.

These sessions are meant to be guided in a safe space by your therapist. Sandstone offers brainspotting sessions to individuals that may benefit from this practice. Explore our website to learn more!💛

Behind even the most composed exterior, many of us are carrying silent burdens like stress, grief, anxiety, or the lingering impact of past experiences. Without support, that pain has a way of settling in, shaping how we think, how we connect, and how we show up in the world.

At Sandstone Psychotherapy & Counselling in Kanata, our team offers more than a listening ear. Through grounded, compassionate therapy, we walk with you through the hard moments, helping you reconnect with yourself to create lasting change from the inside out.

Breast cancer impacts the body, mind, identity, and spirit. From diagnosis to treatment to survivorship or loss, the emotional toll is real.

Mental health support is essential in the cancer journey.

Whether you’re a patient, survivor, caregiver, or grieving a loved one, your emotional pain is valid. Therapy can help hold space for:
✨ Navigating fear and uncertainty
✨ Rebuilding after treatment
✨ Processing medical trauma
✨ Redefining identity and self-worth

You are more than your diagnosis. You deserve support that sees all of you — not just your chart.

This month, we honour the whole person behind the pink ribbon.🩷

On Truth and Reconciliation Day and Orange Shirt Day, we honour the children who never returned home from Residential Schools and stand with the Indigenous communities who continue to carry the deep weight of that history.

On this reconciliations day, we want to look inward and forward and acknowledge the mental, emotional, and spiritual wounds left behind by systemic injustice. And commit to healing.

The residential school system tried to erase culture, identity, language, and the very essence of community. These experiences have contributed to intergenerational trauma, disproportionately affecting Indigenous Peoples’ mental health to this day.

On this day, we reflect and ask:
🧡 Are we listening deeply to Indigenous voices and stories, even when they are hard to hear?
🧡 Are we advocating for mental health care that honours Indigenous ways of knowing and healing?

Today, find a moment to connect with Indigenous communities around you whether thats supporting Indigenous-led businesses, attending cultural events, or advocating for equity. Consider how you can deepen connection and take meaningful steps forward.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a psychological disorder characterized by excessive hyperactivity and impulsive behaviour.

ADHD may appear difficult and complicated at first, but as you learn more about your condition, you will become better at managing it.

Clinicians use The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) guide to identify and diagnose mental health disorders. According to the DSM-V, common symptoms are inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. However, there are some addition symptoms of ADHD that are commonly overlooked including:
~ sleepless nights,
~ periods of low motivation and choice paralysis
~ over-preparing for tasks
~ poor emotional regulation
~ rejection sensitive (intense feelings after experiencing criticism

If you resonate with these symptoms, or see these symptoms present in your children or students, we want to help. We offer support for neurodiverse individuals. Please reach out whenever you are ready.💛
