At Family-Therapy, we believe therapy should always be a safe, non-judgmental space where your identity is celebrated, not just tolerated.

For 2SLGBTQI+ folks, navigating relationships, family dynamics, and personal growth can come with unique challenges. We are here to listen and provide the affirming care you deserve.

How we can support you:

Culturally competent counselling for youth, couples, and families
Affirming support for gender identity and sexual orientation
Safe space therapy for complex family structures and chosen families

The invisible list mothers carry isn’t in their hands—it’s in their heads.
From remembering shoe sizes to anticipating emotional needs, the mental load is constant, exhausting, and often unseen. Carrying it alone leads straight to burnout.
At Family-Therapy, we help families make the invisible load visible—building real partnership, open communication, and emotional balance at home.
You don’t have to hold it all together on your own. 🤍

It's 8:15 on a Tuesday. The lunchbox is half-packed, the coffee's gone cold, and the permission slip you were sure you signed is still sitting on the counter. 🧠

Most of us call it "mom brain." But sometimes the overwhelm feels bigger than ordinary forgetfulness.

For some women, motherhood is when long-standing ADHD traits get much harder to work around: constant interruptions, several calendars to manage, and the noise that never seems to stop. That doesn't mean every overwhelmed mom has ADHD. Sleep, burnout, anxiety and postpartum changes all play a role too. But if the same patterns have followed you for years, they may be worth a closer look.

The new blog from Family-Therapy Ottawa covers the signs Ottawa moms often notice, why it's easier to focus on a work project than to fold laundry, and how to start the conversation without guilt.

If you grew up in the 90s, you probably pictured ADHD as the boy who couldn't sit still in class.

The girls who didn't fit that picture often got other labels instead: the daydreamer, the chatterbox, the people-pleaser, the "too sensitive" one.

Many of those girls are now women, and some are moms in Ottawa, Kanata and Stittsville. They're wondering why everyday life takes so much more effort for them than it seems to for everyone else. At Family-Therapy Ottawa, we often meet women who come in for anxiety, burnout or overwhelm and begin to wonder whether ADHD is part of the picture too.

In our latest blog, Family-Therapy Ottawa looks at how ADHD can show up differently in girls and women. We cover why good grades don't rule it out, what "internal restlessness" can feel like, and why a later diagnosis can bring relief and grief at the same time.
