The Guelph ADHD & Spectrum Centre

Alina is a wonderful human being who goes above and beyond for her clients. Her passion for inclusivity is inspiring.

Although I have not utilized the services of the ADHD/ASD centre personally, I have learned a great deal about what they do and I have met with Alina and discussed many topics of a professional nature regarding neurodivergence and beyond. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a therapist, nor would I hesitate to refer clients to any of the services offered by this Centre. Check it out for yourself!!!

I came to this centre to have a diagnosis for my ADHD. The therapist who I had spoken to was great, they also scheduled me to have a diagnosis with the naturopath. They advertise that if you are seeking a medication route they will give you a diagnosis for your doctor. However this can be misleading. My family doctor did not accept this and this can only be done by a physiatrist. That being said I had spent $800 in total for this process, only to STILL have to see a physiatrist and this was meaningless. If you are looking for the natural route, then this may be worth your money and time. Also yes, I do have diagnosed ADHD.I hope this helps anyone who may be new to this process.

So far its the only place I've received counseling from ppl thoroughly knowledgeable about neurodivergence. Highly recommend.

Counselors and therapists are EXTREMELY knowledgeable in helping those with ADHD and Autism to be able to live their lives without feeling like they are doing something wrong or unable to exist in the world. Highly recommend for people trying to better understand how to live life with these neurodivergent traits!

The ADHD and Asperger's (ASD)centre is a wonderful place that provides people with professional and caring support. All the staff have lived experience of ADHD and/or ASD which means they totally get what is going on and can offer a unique perspective. I have learnt alot from the team here around accepting and managing my own ADHD type personality.

I've worked with Alina and Matthew for nearly a decade. I would not be who I am today without them. They really go above and beyond and care deeply about their clients, and are also very open minded and non judgemental in their sessions. I'm naturally therapy adverse, but they had such incredibly engaging insights I just kept coming back.

I have referred many people to utilize the ADHD and Asperger’s resources and will continue to do so! Alina has a wealth of knowledge and has created an awesome place to help those in need. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them!

I’ve worked along side Alina Kislenko for a number of years. She is without doubt the first therapist I refer to when it comes to working effectively with clients diagnosed with ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. She combines a wide range of professional and personal experiences in helping her clients succeed where many other therapists fail. Alina treats each and every client with the utmost care and respect whether she’s working with individuals, couples, or families.I consider Alina an expert in her field and she clearly shows this as the host of the CFRU radio show Strange Brains Talk Radio, as the regular ADHD and Asperger's specialist on the TV show Inside Guelph on Rogers TV, and in her ADHD and Asperger’s column in the Ontarion. She is dedicated and passionate in advocating for people with disabilities and in taking every opportunity to help others.Alina has helped broaden my understanding and appreciation of the unique abilities and gifts that people diagnosed with ADHD and autism spectrum disorders offer. She is at the forefront of the “neurodiversity” movement in helping society at large understand that these differences are to be respected and celebrated rather than simply pathologized.If you’re searching for a therapist who can not only connect with clients but also offer practical and effective strategies in helping them discover and achieve their personal goals, then I would wholeheartedly recommend Alina as that therapist.Mark Nixon, Registered Psychotherapist

I love working in an environment that is neurodivergent friendly because it so perfectly meets my autistic needs. I get to work with the coolest clients in a space where we are always learning and growing to meet the current needs of society. I truly appreciate how dedicated the centre is to supporting the needs of LGBTQ+ and BIPOC populations.
