Brayden Keeler

With five years of sobriety and as an active member of the addiction recovery community, Brayden has a specialized interest in the link between substance abuse and neurodivergence, along with other concurrent disorders. Brayden is passionate about advocating for adequate and equitable mental health support for individuals and their families, both in community settings and within mental health agencies. Her dedication is reflected in her role as an Addiction Counsellor, where she supports and advocates for families and individuals navigating complex mental health challenges through significant barriers to treatment. ​She employs a therapeutic approach that combines trauma-informed, person-centered methods with a deep strengths-based understanding of neurodivergence. Brayden is passionate about reducing self-stigma through therapy by enhancing client’s self-awareness and acceptance as well as helping them discover and embrace the inherent strengths that come with a neurodivergent mind. Outside of counselling, Brayden enjoys playing hockey, sewing, embroidering, and reading. She constantly adds new hobbies to her repertoire, using her hyperfixation as a superpower to embrace and discover new interests. As a first-time mother to a two-year-old, Brayden is exploring how neurodivergence affects parenting, and is dedicated to making this adjustment easier for other neurodivergent parents.
