ADHD & AUTISM COUNSELLING FOR BOYS

Your son doesn't lack ability.

He just needs the right tools, support, and environment to succeed.

How We Help Your Son

Every boy who comes to us is dealing with something specific. Here's where we can help.

ADHD

Boys with ADHD aren't trying harder because trying harder isn't the problem. We help them understand how their brain works and build skills that actually stick.

✓  Attention & concentration

✓  Executive functioning

✓  Managing impulsivity

Autism (ASD)

Boys with ASD often feel like everyone else got a rulebook they didn't. We help them build confidence and navigate a world that wasn't designed with them in mind.

Adapting to change

✓  Emotional understanding

✓  Flexibility and coping

Emotional Regulation

Every emotion makes sense. Not every behaviour does. We help boys understand what they're feeling, where it comes from, and what to do with it .

✓  Emotional awareness

✓  Managing frustration

✓   Anxiety & worry

Behaviour Challenges

Behaviour is never the whole story. Behind every outburst, shutdown, or defiant moment is something else going on. We look at what's  driving it and build from there.

✓  Problem-solving

✓  Social confidence

✓  Building self-esteem

A DIFFERENT KIND OF THERAPY

Equine-Assisted Therapy

Some boys open up more easily outside a traditional office. Through structured, hands-on work with horses, boys build confidence, emotional regulation, and real-life skills in a way that sticks.

 Learn by doing, not just talking

 Build trust through working with horses

 Gain skills that transfer to everyday life

Not sure if it's right for your son? We can help you decide.

ABOUT US

Meet Lance Drozda

Clinical Counsellor

ADHD Specialist

Equine-Assisted Therapist

Lance works with boys because he's seen the difference the right support can make. Too many capable boys are misunderstood as defiant, unmotivated, or simply "not trying" when what they really need is someone who understands how they think, learn, and experience the world, and helps them build on their strengths.

Every boy is different, which is why Lance tailors therapy to each child's unique strengths, challenges, and goals. He believes lasting change happens when therapy is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping boys build confidence and real-life skills that continue long after sessions end.
