Accepting New Clients
To create life balance as a new mother, I am currently focusing on providing neurodiversity affirming, trauma-informed, compassionate and strengths-focused ADHD and learning assessments for adults. With a background in and passion for providing counselling services, I bring my therapist's hat into the assessment room seeking to understand the whole person so we can go well beyond the diagnostic checklist.
Beyond providing diagnoses and helping clients get the accommodations they need at work or school, my goals are to: listen with all ears and reflect back a story that resonates; and, be a meaningful part of clients’ journeys in self-understanding, self-acceptance, healing and growth.
I offer a hybrid model of assessment: standardized testing is done in-person with the option of doing some interviewing and/or follow-up sessions virtually.

Outside of work, Chelsea loves playing outside, fanticizing about being cast on Survivor, laughing with friends and drinking exceptional coffee out of mismatched pottery mugs.
