Alexander Vasilovsky
Psychologist
Therapy can provide opportunities to reflect on the aspects of your life you’d like to change, as well as to explore new ways of seeing and being seen, of connecting and responding to yourself and others. This sort of change can expose us to feeling vulnerable, so I commend you on your courage to consider this next step.

Frequently Asked Questions About ADHD
What is ADHD and can therapy help adults as well as children?
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity that impair functioning across settings. While often identified in childhood, ADHD frequently continues into adulthood and affects an estimated 4–5% of Canadian adults. Therapy is effective for both children and adults, addressing the practical, emotional, and relational challenges the condition creates.
What does therapy for ADHD look like?
ADHD-focused therapy typically includes psychoeducation about how ADHD affects the brain, skill-building for organization, time management, and planning, as well as strategies for managing emotional dysregulation and impulsivity. CBT adapted for ADHD and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) skills are among the most evidence-based approaches for adults. For children, parent training and behavioural strategies are key components.
Can therapy replace ADHD medication?
Therapy and medication address different aspects of ADHD and are often most effective in combination. Stimulant medications improve neurological symptoms, while therapy builds executive function skills and emotional coping strategies that medication alone does not teach. That said, therapy alone is highly beneficial, particularly for adults with mild to moderate ADHD or those who prefer non-pharmacological approaches.
What co-occurring conditions do ADHD therapists also treat?
ADHD frequently co-occurs with anxiety disorders, depression, learning disabilities, sleep difficulties, and substance use issues. Many people with undiagnosed ADHD develop secondary anxiety or low self-esteem from years of struggling without understanding why. A therapist experienced with ADHD will screen for and address these co-occurring concerns as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Do I need a formal assessment before starting therapy?
A formal ADHD assessment conducted by a psychologist or psychiatrist is required for an official diagnosis and to access medication if needed. However, you do not need a formal diagnosis to begin therapy — a therapist can start working on ADHD-related challenges while an assessment is being arranged. Ask your therapist or family doctor about the assessment process in your province.
