Nathalia Cortes

Registered Provisional Psychologist

Therapy for Adults with ADHD (Diagnosed or Curious), Alberta

Hi, I’m Nathalia! 👋

I’m a provisional psychologist who specializes in ADHD—because I’ve lived it.

I was diagnosed later in life, and it changed everything. Suddenly, my past and habits made sense. It gave me a new lens to understand myself and find strategies that truly fit.

Now I help other adults do the same:
Understand themselves, build tools that work, and create lives that feel less overwhelming and more you.

What it’s like to work with me…

No Judgement!

No “One Size Fits All” Therapy

No Pressure To Have It All Figured Out

I believe…

You’re already doing your best!

Therapy should work with your brain.

You deserve to thrive, not just survive.

I’ll meet you where you’re at. Together, we’ll figure out what helps—and skip what doesn’t.

My Approach

  • I use a mix of therapeutic tools to fit your unique brain and goals. These include:

    • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

    • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

    • Narrative Therapy

    • Existential Therapy

    • Parts Work

    • Humanistic Therapy

    I’m trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming—which means I honour your story, your strengths, and your nervous system.

    In plain terms:
    I listen, ask questions, offer tools, and help you make sense of things.
