Ever find yourself thinking, “Why do I do things so differently?” 🧠

Maybe staying organized takes more effort than it seems to for other people. Maybe your attention shifts quickly, motivation comes in waves, or everyday responsibilities can feel harder to manage than you expect.

Those experiences don’t automatically mean something is wrong, but understanding why they’re happening can make a big difference. An ADHD assessment can help identify your individual strengths, challenges, and learning style, while giving you a clearer picture of what kinds of supports may actually work for you.

If you’ve been wondering whether ADHD could be part of what you, your child, or other family members are experiencing, an assessment can be a helpful next step. Book with Tianna today to get more clarity and personalized recommendations for moving forward. 🧠🌿

Which scenario best describes your child, teen, or student? 🎓📚

1️⃣ Their grades are not where they should be

2️⃣ They need a little extra support strengthening good habits and making sure they’re on track

3️⃣ They are struggling to balance school and home life

Early in the school year is a great time to identify what is working, what is getting in the way, and what supports could make the rest of the year feel more manageable. 🍎✨

Academic and IPP Support with Amie can help students build stronger routines, improve organization and time management, understand their learning needs, and make sure appropriate supports are in place at school. This can include reviewing or developing IPP goals, preparing for school meetings, strengthening executive functioning skills, and creating practical strategies that fit the individual student. 📝🧠

And sometimes academic struggles are only part of the picture. If your child or teen is also experiencing anxiety, low mood, frustration, emotional regulation difficulties, or behavioural challenges, Amie can provide counselling alongside their academic support. 🌿💬

Getting support early can help prevent small challenges from becoming much bigger ones later in the year. Reach out to find out more or get support:

As someone who is neurodivergent, what does it mean to run a business that supports other neurodivergent people? 🧠

For me, having ADHD has shaped how I built McAtee Psychology. Growing up, I often felt out of place and couldn’t understand why certain things seemed to come so easily to others. Learning more about my ADHD as an adult helped me better understand those experiences and rethink what meaningful support can look like.

That perspective carries into the clinic today. People don’t have to constantly explain or defend the way their brain works at McAtee Psychology. My team doesn’t automatically view ADHD, Autism, executive functioning challenges, and other differences as something that needs to be “fixed.” 🌱

My lived experience has influenced the clinicians I bring onto the team, the services we offer, and our focus on individualized, practical support that fits the person receiving it.

A big part of why I built McAtee Psychology was to create the kind of support I would have benefited from when I was younger: helping people better understand themselves, work with their strengths, and get support for the things that genuinely make life harder. 🤝

They say knowing is half the battle, but we disagree.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t recognizing the pattern. It’s understanding why it keeps happening so that you know what to do about it 🧠

You might know a habit, reaction, or coping strategy isn’t helping anymore, but still find yourself falling back into it.

That can be especially common when patterns are connected to trauma, addiction, stress, or experiences that have shaped how you respond to difficult situations. 🌿

Counselling with Jessa can help you explore what may be underneath those patterns, build greater self-awareness, and understand the needs or emotions your behaviour may be trying to manage 💬 From there, therapy can focus on developing practical strategies and problem-solving skills so that you can ACTUALLY do something about it.

Counselling also helps you build more self-compassion as you work toward changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

If you want to understand why you’re stuck in a cycle, and better yet, want to do something about it, Jessa is here to support you. 🤝 reach out today for get connected or for a free consultation

People come to therapy with different needs, experiences, and goals, so the care they receive should reflect that 🧠

That is why I intentionally seek out clinicians with different personalities, backgrounds, therapeutic approaches, and areas of expertise. 🌱 Our mission is to provide personalized, inclusive, and high-quality mental health care that supports individuals and families at every stage of life, and I think having a diverse team is a big part of making that possible. 🤝

A lot of our Core Values come directly from that idea. Individualized Client Care means recognizing that every person brings different experiences, strengths, and goals. 🌿 Accessibility and Inclusivity means creating a space where people from different backgrounds, identities, abilities, and life experiences feel respected and welcomed. 🫶 Connection is also central to how I want the clinic to operate. We do not take shortcuts with relationships, because trust and belonging matter in therapy.

I also want our work to lead somewhere meaningful.

Practical and Meaningful Outcomes, Collaboration and Accountability, and a Strength-Based Philosophy shape how we support clients in understanding themselves, strengthening relationships, and building on what is already working. Our Growth Mindset keeps us curious and willing to learn, while Outreach and Impact reminds us that our responsibility extends beyond the walls of the clinic.

I hope that individuals and families leave us feeling empowered to reconnect with themselves, embrace their strengths, and thrive throughout every stage of life. 💛

The Neutral Adult 🤔Why do teens sometimes open up more easily to someone they barely know?

For some teens, talking to a parent can feel complicated, even when they have a close and supportive relationship.

They may worry about disappointing you, stressing you out, being misunderstood 📚 Sometimes there’s things happening at school or with their social lives that are too personal. Or maybe having a conversation turn into something bigger than they intended.

That doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong as a parent. 💛 Sometimes, having a neutral adult outside the family simply makes it easier to say what they’re thinking.

Teen therapy can give them a space to sort through what’s going on without feeling like they need to protect anyone else’s feelings.

Khaled works alongside teens to help them feel heard, better understand their emotions and experiences, and build healthier ways of communicating and coping. 🧠💬 Having another trusted adult in their corner can be an extra layer of support, not a replacement for the relationship they have with you.

If your teen has been more withdrawn, seems to be struggling, or just isn’t ready to talk with you yet, Khaled can help create a space where opening up feels a little easier. 🌱

Back-to-school season can be exciting for grade school students and university students alike! 📚 It can also raise questions about what is missing that could help students excel.

Maybe your student is struggling to keep up, their current accommodations are not working, or you are unsure how to advocate for what they need at school. That is where an Individualized Program Plan (IPP) can help 💡

When Amie works with a student and family around an IPP, the process can include reviewing the student’s strengths, challenges, learning needs, and current support.

This leads into a conversation about identifying meaningful academic and developmental goals, discussing appropriate accommodations and strategies, and helping families understand how to communicate and advocate within the education system. ✏️🧠

The the process and goals can look different at each stage of education:

📘 Elementary to High School
•Build strong foundational skills in reading, writing, and math
•Boost confidence, motivation, and a positive attitude toward learning
•Tailor learning goals to your child’s strengths and challenges through their IPP

🎓 Undergraduate to Graduate Students
•Get support managing heavier workloads and deadlines
•Develop strategies for exams, research, and major projects
•Build independent learning skills and stronger academic planning habits

If your child, teen, or young adult needs additional support this school year, Amie can help your family better understand their needs, navigate available supports, and build a plan for moving forward. 💛

08/28/2026

🧠 Running a psychology clinic with ADHD has taught me to build systems around my attention, energy, and strengths so I’m not relying on memory, motivation, or willpower to keep everything moving.

1️⃣ I separate clinic-owner work from clinical work.
I use dedicated blocks for clinical work, CEO work, operations, and admin.

2️⃣ I keep everything in one central system.
When tasks are spread across emails, texts, sticky notes, software, and memory, things get missed. Every task needs a clear next step, an owner, and a deadline.

3️⃣ I limit my priorities for the day.
A long to-do list can create more distraction than progress. I focus on one must-do task, two important tasks, and a few smaller items. I ask: “What is the one action that would create the most progress or prevent the biggest problem today?”

4️⃣ I create dedicated times for staff questions and decisions.
Not every question needs an immediate answer. Grouping non-urgent decisions protects my focus while still supporting the team. One system that helps is a “Gavin Decision Queue,” where staff submit the issue, their recommendation, and the deadline.

5️⃣ I ask for recommendations, not just problems.
I encourage my team to use a simple format: Here is the situation. Here are the options. This is what I recommend. This is what I need from you. It reduces cognitive load and keeps decisions moving.

6️⃣ I give recurring responsibilities a regular home.
Finances, hiring, leadership, marketing, and planning are easier to manage when they happen at predictable times each week.

For me, the biggest facilitator in running a clinic with ADHD has been creating enough structure to stay present with clients, support my team, keep building the practice, and avoid burnout when things get busy.

Every week is not perfect, but these systems help me use my time and attention more intentionally. My hope is that my lived experience with neurodivergence continues to shape how I lead and how our team supports the people who come through our doors. 💛
