Have you been diagnosed with ADHD?
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD / ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of Canada’s most common neurodevelopmental disorders, affecting 4-6% of adults and 5-7% of children, or approximately 1.8 million Canadians. In other words, 1 of every 21 people in the country has the disorder. – source
The rise in the number of stimuli we are exposed to in daily life and the rapid pace at which our lives are moving may be significant reasons adults with ADD or ADHD often struggle to focus.
As an adult, your attentional disorder can impact your job, relationships, and ability to manage daily tasks.
We want to work with our patients to understand the challenges of ADHD and how it affects their daily lives. Once we know more about their struggles, we can create an individualized treatment plan to help them overcome these issues.
As you learn to regulate your attention, emotions, and behaviour, you can accomplish what you want and treat yourself with kindness, especially when you stumble.
Get matched with a counsellor that fits your needs.

LENS Neurofeedback for ADHD
In addition to traditional counselling techniques, we are now pleased to offer LENS neurofeedback as a complementary treatment for ADHD. LENS neurofeedback is a safe and noninvasive treatment that has been shown to be effective in improving ADHD symptoms in children and adults.
How LENS Neurofeedback Works
LENS neurofeedback works by training the brain to self-regulate. During a LENS neurofeedback session, sensors are placed on the scalp to monitor brain wave activity. This information is then fed back to the client in real-time through audio or visual cues. The client learns to associate certain brain wave patterns with positive feedback, and over time, the brain learns to produce more of these desired patterns.
Benefits of LENS Neurofeedback for ADHD
Studies have shown that LENS neurofeedback can improve a variety of symptoms of ADHD, including:
- Inattention
- Hyperactivity
- Impulsivity
- Executive function
- Sleep problems
LENS neurofeedback is a safe and effective treatment that can be used in conjunction with traditional counselling techniques to help you manage your ADHD symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Please note that LENS neurofeedback is only offered in-person in Coquitlam, BC. If you want to learn more about LENS neurofeedback, please contact us today to schedule a consultation.
