Finding a therapist is hard enough. Finding one you don't have to explain yourself to — who won't mistake your masking for coping, or your burnout for laziness — can feel impossible. That's what this practice was built for.
We're the two Registered Social Workers (RSW) — both in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers — behind Becoming Yourself Counselling and Consulting — and we came to this work by different paths: one of us through lived experience of neurodivergence, one through years of helping people understand the patterns beneath their struggles. The path we walk with clients, though, is the same one.
In therapy, we walk it beside you — from finding your direction to living as who you actually are. It's a journey.
Becoming Yourself Counselling & Consulting is a neurodiversity-affirming virtual therapy practice serving adults across Ontario. Its two Registered Social Workers are Michael Holker, MSW, RSW, who works with ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, and gifted (2e) adults, and Euodia Leung, MSW, RSW, who works with anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and university students. Both offer a free 20-minute meet-and-greet.
Founder. Late-identified neurodivergent therapist. ADHD, autism, AuDHD & gifted (2e) adults.
"Finally having language for my experience changed my life. Helping you find yours is why I do this work."
A therapist who discovered his own neurodivergence later in life, Michael founded Becoming Yourself to be the practice he couldn't find as a client. He supports ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, and gifted (2e) adults — late-diagnosed, high-masking, burned out, or still exploring — with 15+ years of experience in the social services field and the kind of understanding that isn't learned from textbooks.
Most of Michael's caseload is adults who found out late — including those seeking AuDHD therapy and gifted and twice-exceptional adults who spent years being told they were coping fine.
Associate Therapist. Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, students & life transitions — including adults exploring neurodivergence.
"Growth doesn't begin by becoming someone else. It begins by understanding who you've been all along."
Euodia works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, and life transitions — including those exploring neurodivergence. Her compassion-focused, transdiagnostic approach starts with a question few therapists ask: what has helped you get through until now? Rather than treating your coping as flaws, she helps you understand where they came from — and what might serve you better.
We met as colleagues years before Becoming Yourself existed. Even then, what stood out wasn't how we worked — it was why. People open up when they feel genuinely understood. The care that helps neurodivergent clients feel safe is the care everyone deserves. Neither of us would compromise on that. So we kept in touch, followed each other's careers, and when the chance to practice together arrived, the foundation was already years old. These are the values that brought us together — and the ones we'll bring to every session.
What we share is a way of working rather than a shared script, and you can read more about our approach to neurodiversity-affirming therapy and the modalities behind it.
Time and space to be heard without expectation or criticism.
A kinder stance toward yourself, grounded in curiosity rather than harshness.
Working with what’s present—identity, history, current realities— so change is realistic and sustainable.
A safe, steady place to reflect at your own pace.
