Welcome

At Dara Pappas Counselling you will find a therapeutic style that is active, strength-based and focused on solutions. My aim is to empower clients to overcome barriers through the development of cognitive strategies and coping skills. We focus on the present moment, with an awareness of past patterns and how those influence your current situation. We identify the strategies you are already using with success and build on those to help you reach your goals.

EXCITING NEWS!

Adult ADHD

Are you an adult living with ADHD?

Perhaps you were diagnosed in childhood, but are finding your symptoms more challenging with the increased responsibilities of adulthood. Or, perhaps you were diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood and are navigating the ADHD world for the first time.

As a fellow ADHD'er and mom to a 6 year old with ADHD, I am passionate about working with adults to help them cope with the symptoms of ADHD and realize their full potential.

I do not view ADHD as a "disorder", but rather as a different way of thinking. The brain in an individual with ADHD is wired differently than that of a neurotypical individual. If you can learn strategies that work for your brain, you can make your ADHD work for you - I would love to help you with that!

Young Adults

I have spent the past 10 years working as a counsellor in post-secondary settings with young adults.

I have helped countless young adults cope with issues such as leaving home for the first time, transitioning to post-secondary school, starting a career, deciding on a life direction, friendship and romantic relationship issues as well as mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety.

If you're a young adult feeling stressed, "stuck" or unsure of what comes next, Get in touch today to discuss how I can help you overcome barriers and create a plan for your future
