Robert Simms

Hello, I'm Robert Simms. Over the past 13 years, I've been sharing life's journey with my spouse, embracing every learning and growth opportunity. My path has been rich with discovery, particularly in acknowledging and celebrating my identity as a non-Status Metis. This exploration began in university while pursuing my Bachelor of Social Work and continued across various regions of Turtle Island, engaging with Indigenous communities.

Another pivotal chapter in my life unfolded with my daughter's ADHD diagnosis. This event led to my own adult ADHD assessment and diagnosis, revealing a world of insight and understanding. It has profoundly influenced how I connect with my daughter and others who have ADHD, marking a path of learning, adaptation, and striving for authenticity.

My personal experiences, combined with my professional background, have uniquely positioned me to understand and empathize with adults diagnosed with ADHD later in life. I've intimately experienced the confusion, overwhelm, and frustration accompanying this journey. My struggles with managing daily tasks, grappling with feelings of inadequacy, and unlearning internalized ableism are experiences I've lived through. These challenges, along with my professional expertise, enable me to offer empathetic and informed guidance. My practice is dedicated to helping you not only manage your ADHD symptoms but also embrace your neurodiversity as an integral part of your identity.

Reaching a point where conventional work environments no longer aligned with my abilities and understanding, I was inspired to establish my practice. It represents the culmination of my experiences and is a space where I can empower others. I aim to guide you towards discovering and embracing the best version of your life, with all its complexities and victories.

So that's who I am – Robert Simms, a husband, father, proud Metis, and someone deeply committed to making a difference, particularly for those whose experiences resonate with my own.
