Wondering if your child has ADHD or a learning difficulty?

Don’t wait until the school year is well underway.

September is one of the best times to arrange an ADHD or psycho-educational assessment for your child or adolescent.

As the school year progresses, assessment wait times can get longer as more families seek testing.

Getting started early can help you better understand your child’s strengths and needs and give you important guidance to support them at school.

If you’ve been wondering, early fall is a great time to take the next step.

If you’ve been considering an ADHD assessment for your child, spring is an ideal time to start the process.

Why is this?

Teacher feedback is a very important part of a thorough ADHD assessment.

Before the school year ends, teachers can provide detailed observations about attention, behaviour, and learning in the classroom, information that’s much harder to gather over the summer.

In some cases, this will be impossible to get if a teacher is not available to provide feedback during the summer.

Starting now means that we can get school input and provide clearer, more accurate results.

At Green Leaf Psychological Services, our child ADHD assessments are comprehensive, evidence-based, and designed to give parents clear answers and practical next steps.

If you’ve had concerns about focus, impulsivity, or school performance, the spring is one of the best times to get started.

Where has our daylight gone?

As late November turns into December, the sudden early darkness here in Halifax can affect mood, energy, and motivation. If you’ve been feeling more tired or stressed, you’re not alone.

Many people struggle with the seasonal shift. It’s quite common.

At Green Leaf Psychological Services, our clinicians can help you manage winter stress and keep your mental health strong through these darker and colder months.

If you’re looking for a warm, professional space to talk, we’re here for you.

🌿 November Focus:

Managing Seasonal Stress and Mood Changes

As the days get shorter (DST ends this weekend in Nova Scotia) and routines shift, many people notice changes in their mood, motivation, or sleep.

Therapy can help you identify what’s behind these seasonal shifts and develop strategies to manage stress and low energy before they take hold.

Our psychologists and counsellors provide caring, evidence-based support, both in-person in Halifax and virtually across Nova Scotia.
