Specialized Support for Your Unique Needs
At The Therapy Nest, our individual therapy services address a wide range of mental health concerns. We understand that each person's experience is different, and we tailor our approach to meet you where you are. Here are some of the areas where we provide specialized support:
ADHD Therapy and Support for Neurodivergent Adults
Living with ADHD as an adult can feel overwhelming, especially when you've spent years developing coping strategies that no longer serve you. Our ADHD therapy services provide compassionate, evidence-based support for neurodivergent adults navigating the unique challenges of ADHD.
Many adults, particularly women with ADHD, go undiagnosed for years. You might struggle with time management, organization, emotional regulation, or maintaining relationships—all while being told you're "just not trying hard enough." Our therapists understand the real impact of ADHD on daily life and work with you to develop practical strategies that actually fit your brain.
In ADHD counselling sessions, we focus on understanding how your ADHD shows up uniquely for you, building executive function skills, managing sensory sensitivities, addressing the emotional impact of late diagnosis, developing sustainable routines that work with your ADHD rather than against it, and navigating relationships and workplace challenges.
Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been managing ADHD for years, our therapy provides a judgment-free space to understand your neurodivergent brain and build the life you want.
Panic Disorder and Panic Attack Therapy
Experiencing a panic attack can be one of the most frightening experiences—your heart races, you can't catch your breath, and you feel certain something terrible is about to happen. If you're living with panic disorder, the fear of the next panic attack can become as debilitating as the attacks themselves.
Our panic disorder therapy helps you understand what's happening in your body during panic attacks and why. Through evidence-based approaches, we work together to reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks, develop grounding techniques you can use in the moment, address the anticipatory anxiety that keeps you stuck, identify and challenge thought patterns that fuel panic, and gradually rebuild confidence in situations you've been avoiding.
You don't have to let panic attacks control your life. With the right support and strategies, you can manage panic symptoms and reclaim your sense of safety and freedom.
Grief Counselling and Bereavement Support
Grief is not a problem to be solved—it's a natural response to loss that deserves compassionate attention. Whether you're mourning the death of a loved one, processing a relationship ending, grieving a job loss, or dealing with any significant life transition, our grief counselling provides a supportive space to honour your feelings.
Many people feel pressured to "move on" or "get over it" within a certain timeframe. We understand that grief doesn't follow a linear path, and there's no "right" way to grieve. In grief therapy, we create space for you to process your loss at your own pace, explore complicated emotions like guilt, anger, or relief alongside sadness, maintain connections with what or who you've lost while building a new reality, navigate special occasions and triggering moments, and find ways to carry your loss while continuing to live fully.
Grief can feel isolating, but you don't have to walk this path alone. Our therapists are here to witness your grief and support you through this difficult journey.
Marital and Relationship Issues
Your relationships are meant to be sources of connection and support, but when they're struggling, they can become sources of pain and confusion. Whether you're considering couples therapy or need individual support to work through relationship challenges, we're here to help.
In individual therapy focused on relationship issues, we explore your relationship patterns and how past experiences shape current dynamics, communication skills that help you express needs and boundaries, how to address conflict in healthy ways, understanding and healing from relationship wounds, making decisions about your relationship's future, and rebuilding your sense of self within or after a relationship.
Sometimes working on yourself individually is the most powerful thing you can do for your relationships. Our therapists provide the insight and tools you need to show up differently in your connections with others.
Return-to-Work Support and Workplace Mental Health
Returning to work after medical leave, burnout, or mental health challenges can feel daunting. Whether you're recovering from anxiety, depression, a workplace injury, or another health condition, our return-to-work counselling helps you navigate this transition with confidence.
We provide support in several areas: developing strategies to manage workplace stress and prevent burnout, addressing anxiety about returning to work, communicating your needs to employers and colleagues, establishing healthy boundaries between work and personal life, building resilience and coping skills for challenging work situations, and processing workplace trauma or difficult experiences.
Your mental health matters at work and beyond. We'll work together to create a sustainable approach that supports both your well-being and your professional goals.
Our Approach to Individual Therapy
Every therapy journey is unique, and we draw from various evidence-based approaches to find what works best for you. Our therapists are trained in modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused approaches, mindfulness-based techniques, and solution-focused therapy.
CBT is particularly effective for addressing patterns of thinking and behaviour that may be holding you back. Through this approach, you'll learn to identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge assumptions that don't serve you, and develop practical strategies for managing difficult emotions and situations. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or simply want to break free from habits that aren't working, CBT offers concrete tools you can use both in and outside of therapy sessions.
What remains consistent across all our work is our commitment to creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, develop new insights, and build the skills and resilience you need to thrive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we have specialized training in working with neurodivergent adults, particularly those with ADHD. Many of our clients are adults who were diagnosed later in life, including women with ADHD who often go undiagnosed for years. Our ADHD therapy focuses on practical strategies for time management, organization, emotional regulation, and navigating relationships and workplace challenges. We understand that ADHD shows up differently in everyone, and we work with your brain, not against it.
Grief counselling is a specialized form of therapy that focuses specifically on processing loss and bereavement. While all therapy can touch on grief, grief counselling creates dedicated space to honor your feelings, explore complicated emotions, and find ways to carry your loss while continuing to live. We understand that grief doesn't follow a timeline or linear stages, and we won't pressure you to "move on" before you're ready. Grief can come from many types of loss—death, divorce, job loss, or major life transitions.
Absolutely. While we also offer couples counselling, many people find individual therapy helpful for relationship issues. In individual therapy, you can explore your relationship patterns, understand how past experiences shape your current dynamics, develop communication skills, work on boundaries, and make decisions about your relationship's future. Sometimes working on yourself individually is the most powerful thing you can do for your relationships.
The length of therapy varies greatly depending on your goals and needs. Some people find relief in just a few sessions for specific issues, while others benefit from longer-term therapy for deeper work. We'll discuss your goals in our first session and regularly check in on your progress. You're always in control of how long you continue therapy—there's no minimum or maximum commitment.
