About The ADHD &
Spectrum Centre
Where we ONLY have ADHD/Autistic practitioners!

We Are Currently Offering Phone, & Video Sessions.
​Official Diagnosis is Only Offered in Ontario, Canada

Our centre aims to unite and strengthen the ADHD & Autistic community through research-based education and treatment around neurodiversity so no more "smart but scattered" people get left behind. We fully believe that ADHD & Autism are misunderstood superpowers, and even evolutionary traits!, that unfortunately didn't come with a manual. We seek to be that guide as much as we can for those diagnosed as well as for their partners, parents, therapists, and allies. We make sure that most of the practitioners we employ (beginning with our founder) have been diagnosed with ADHD & Autism themselves so that they can "get it" and help where perhaps others in the mental health community may have hindered.

ADHD & ASD Specialized Services We Offer:
  • Coaching & Counselling (Video and on the Phone)
  • ​Naturopathy & Nutritional Support
  • Diagnosis & Psycho-educational Assessments with a Psychologist
  • Medication Advocacy
  • Groups & Classes (Parents & Adult)
  • Our ADHD & ASD Member's Lab
  • ADHD Video Classes

Kaytee Trudeau, MA (cand.), RP (Qualifying)
Therapy  & Coaching (Student)

Kaytee (she/her) is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), completing her Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, and is fluent in both English and French. After a lifetime of various mental health misdiagnoses, including resistant depression, she received a late-in-life AuDHD diagnosis (Autism & Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder), which brought clarity to why what worked for others never seemed to work for her. This experience fuels her passion for supporting others who may feel like they don’t quite fit the “typical” mould and who are seeking approaches tailored to their unique ways of thinking, feeling, and processing the world.
A lifelong visual artist (give her any medium, she’ll run with it), Kaytee brings creativity into both her personal and professional life. She believes that therapy can be a space for curiosity and self-discovery, and she integrates compassion, humour, and authenticity into her work.​

Alexandra Roumeliotus, MA (cand.), RP (Qualifying)
​Therapy  & Coaching 

​Alexandra (she/they) is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who completed her master’s degree in counselling at Yorkville University. As someone with ADHD, Alexandra understands firsthand the challenges of navigating a neurodivergent brain in a neurotypical world. Their journey from confusion and self-doubt to empowerment fuels her passion for helping others embrace their unique brains, uncover their strengths, and create a life that feels authentic—messy moments and all! 
Growing up, Alexandra was the creative, witty kid with big ideas—but often struggled to keep track of her backpack (or her phone). ADHD wasn’t on her radar until a high school partner, already diagnosed, encouraged her to explore the possibility. In adulthood, when life’s structured routines faded, challenges like time management, focus, and self-doubt took center stage. ​Read More

From his own experiences, Ritam understands that tasks like paying attention, staying organized, or navigating relationships can sometimes feel like insurmountable challenges.

Amy Fiawornu, RSW, MSW
Therapy & Coaching

As a mother with a child on the Autism spectrum, and diagnosed as an adult with ADHD herself, Amy has learned to accept and cherish the positive aspects of her and her son's neurodivergence. From Amy’s own (and her family’s) experiences, she is very aware of the ableism pervasive in society that makes the lives of ADHDers, Autistics, and their loved ones so challenging. Amy has many personal strategies she’s experimented with over the years that help her thrive with neurodivergence and loves helping others find their own. Due to extra training and personal experience around LGBTQ+ and minority populations and issues (especially Trans, non-binary, and BIPOC-related needs), she is especially equipped to support these clients that most therapists often unintentionally mistreat. ​Read more.
