AMANDA ELSTON
MACP, EMDR-Trained, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
You might be feeling overwhelmed, like your thoughts won’t slow down, your emotions feel intense, or you’re stuck in patterns you can’t shift. Maybe you’re navigating ADHD and struggling with focus, burnout, or follow-through. Maybe you’re carrying the effects of trauma, feeling triggered, disconnected, or caught in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt. Or maybe you’re beginning to explore what it means to be neurodivergent. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
I provide virtual therapy across Ontario for teens and adults seeking support with ADHD, trauma, anxiety, and neurodivergence.
My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience, including ADHD, anxiety, and relational trauma. Because of this, I offer neurodivergence-affirming, trauma-informed therapy that goes beyond surface-level coping, helping you understand your patterns, regulate your nervous system, and create meaningful change.
Areas of Focus
ADHD therapy (executive functioning, burnout, emotional regulation)
Trauma therapy, including complex trauma and EMDR
Neurodivergence therapy (identity, masking, sensory sensitivity)
Anxiety, perfectionism, and attachment patterns
Approach
My approach to therapy is integrative and tailored to you. I draw from EMDR, IFS, somatic therapy, CBT, and DBT to support both insight and practical change.
A Bit About Me
As a German and Métis therapist, I value culturally responsive, collaborative care. Outside of sessions, you’ll find me hiking with my two pups, travelling, or in creative spaces that help me stay grounded.

I have completed professional development in EMDRIA recognized EMDR Training, Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Training,Mending Broken Hearts from White Bison, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Attachment-Focused EMDR Therapy, and The Gottman Method Level I, II, and Treating Trauma and Affairs.
