“If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be” Maya Angelou

Let me introduce myself

Have you ever felt not good enough, phoney, failure…these are the things my inner critic told me most of my life. For years, I believed my inner critic, but, you know what? My critic was wrong and I would bet yours is wrong too!

My house was always a mess, my bills did not always get paid and I was always late, however I loved deeply, cried hard, and researched everything.

Then at the age of 62, I was diagnosed with ADHD and in a moment, my life made sense. Those four letters explained all the struggles that I could not explain and that did not make sense to me or anyone else.

My name is Brenda Atkin BA, RSW, CCAC

I am a registered social worker in private practise, providing virtual therapy to individuals over 18 years old in the province of Ontario.

I am casual, supportive and practise a collaborative, conversational style of therapy and I certainly won’t be telling you what you ‘should’ do.

If you are not happy with the way your life is going, maybe I can help. Book a free 15 minute consultation with me and if I am not knowledgeable in the area of therapy you are looking for, I will be happy to help you find a psychotherapist that is. I also recognize that virtual therapy is not for everyone and if you would like to meet with a therapist in person, I will be happy to help you find one.

Treatment Options Available for individuals 18 years of age and older.

Please note that I do not provide services for couples, marriage, family, youth or child therapy.
