Individual Psychotherapy in Ontario

Culturally sensitive, neurodiversity-affirming therapy for adults, students, parents, and immigrants.

Life might look fine on the outside, but inside you may feel exhausted from holding everything together. Maybe you’re juggling school, work, parenting, immigration stress, or identity questions. Therapy can offer space to breathe, understand yourself, and create change that finally feels sustainable.

I’m Krishna Vora, MA, Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO #006207). I provide individual psychotherapy in Whitby and across Ontario. I work primarily with neurodivergent adults, post-secondary students, parents of children or young adults with ADHD/learning disabilities, and newcomers, first-generation and second-generation immigrants.

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally humble, and neurodiversity-affirming, creating a space where your culture, identity, and experiences are fully welcome.

Therapy for Neurodivergent Adults, Students & Parents

Is this you?

You suspect or recently received a late diagnosis of ADHD or learning disabilities.
You see a big gap between your potential and your daily performance.
You struggle with focus, procrastination, task completion, time management, or motivation.
Everyday tasks—responding to emails, cooking, cleaning, organizing—feel overwhelming.
You avoid asking for help or struggle to advocate for your needs.
You feel like an impostor at work or school.
You feel like you’re constantly not living up to expectations—yours or others’.
As a student, you find procrastination, assignments, and juggling life responsibilities difficult.
You want help with study skills, routines, and executive functioning strategies.
You notice tension or misunderstandings in relationships, parenting, or communication.
You identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ2+ and want someone who understands intersectionality and lived experience.

How therapy can help if you’re neurodivergent

Together, we can:

Understand your neurodivergent traits and how they impact daily life.
Reframe feelings of shame, “laziness,” or being “too much” or “not enough.”
Build practical skills for planning, organizing, prioritizing, and follow-through—based on what works for your brain.
Strengthen self-compassion, confidence, and healthy boundaries.
Improve communication and relationship dynamics at home, work, or school.
Support you in parenting and navigating school systems, accommodations, and advocacy for your child.

My goal is to help you move from constant overwhelm and self-criticism toward a more supportive, compassionate relationship with yourself.

Therapy for Newcomers, First-Generation & Second-Generation Immigrants

Is this you?

You’re struggling with loneliness, identity loss, or culture shock after moving to Canada.
You feel guilty, anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected and don’t know how to express it.
You’re adjusting from the work culture of your home country to Canadian work culture.
You feel caught between your own needs and your family’s expectations.
You want to set healthier boundaries but feel scared to disappoint others.
You are dealing with intergenerational pressures, gender roles, or family conflict.
You want to understand and reduce people-pleasing patterns.
You’re grieving everything you left behind—people, places, familiarity, identity.

How therapy can help if you’re a newcomer or first/second-generation adult

Together, we can:

Give language to the grief, guilt, hope, and pressure that come with migration.
Explore how culture, race, gender, sexuality, and family roles shape your experiences.
Build communication and boundary-setting skills that feel aligned with your values.
Process loss, homesickness, and belonging while finding a sense of home here.
Navigate intergenerational expectations without losing yourself.
Create space for the complexity of your identities—without judgment or assumptions.

I hold space for the realities of migration, systemic barriers, racism, and intersectional identity while helping you build skills that support daily life.

My Approach to Individual Psychotherapy

In our sessions, you can expect:

A warm, non-judgemental, and collaborative space.
A trauma-informed lens that respects your pace and history.
A culturally humble approach grounded in curiosity, not assumptions.
A neurodiversity-affirming stance that does not pathologize your brain.
Space for BOTH deep reflection and practical strategies for real-life challenges.

Are ready to explore how culture, identity, and past experiences shape daily life.

If you resonate with this, I would be honoured to support you.
