# Meet Our Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapists in Ontario
## For Everyone Who's Had to Explain Themselves First
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.**

## Who Are the Therapists at Becoming Yourself?
Becoming Yourself has two Registered Social Workers, both in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. Michael Holker, the founder, works with adults who are late-diagnosed or self-identified ADHD, autistic, AuDHD or gifted (2e). Euodia Leung works with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity and life transitions, including adults exploring neurodivergence and college and university students. Both offer online therapy by video or phone, wherever you live in Ontario, and both start with a free 20-minute meet-and-greet.

## Michael Holker, MSW, RSW
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**](https://becomingyourself.com/audhd-therapy-in-ontario) and [**gifted and twice-exceptional adults**](https://becomingyourself.com/therapy-for-gifted-adults-in-ontario)who spent years being told they were coping fine.

## Euodia Leung, MSW, RSW
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.

## Which Therapist Should I Start With?
We work in the same neurodiversity-affirming way. The difference is focus.
| **START WITH MICHAEL IF…** | **START WITH EUODIA IF…** |
| --- | --- |
| You’re exploring or living with**[ADHD](https://becomingyourself.com/adhd-therapy-for-adults-in-ontario)**, [**autism**](https://becomingyourself.com/autism-therapy-for-adults-in-ontario) or **[AuDHD](https://becomingyourself.com/audhd-therapy-in-ontario),** especially after a late or recent diagnosis | Anxiety, depression or low self-esteem is what’s loudest right now |
| Masking, burnout or rejection sensitivity are central to what you’re carrying | You’re a college or university student or a young adult |
| You’re [**gifted or twice-exceptional (2e)**](https://becomingyourself.com/therapy-for-gifted-adults-in-ontario) | You’re in a life transition, or relationship patterns keep repeating |
| You want a therapist with lived experience of neurodivergence | You wonder whether you might be neurodivergent and want to explore it without committing to a label |
If anxiety, self-criticism or people-pleasing sound familiar, our post on [**why people-pleasing starts and how to loosen** it'](https://becomingyourself.com/onbecomingyourself/how-to-stop-people-pleasing-fawn-response)s a good place to begin.
Still torn? Book a meet-and-greet with either of us. You can’t get this wrong, and if the fit isn’t right, moving to the other therapist is a simple handoff within the same practice.
**Availability:** Euodia is accepting new clients with no waitlist. Michael is currently maintaining a waitlist

## Values We Shared Before We Shared a Practice
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](https://becomingyourself.com/neurodiversity-affirming-therapy-ontario).**
### Understanding
Time and space to be heard without expectation or criticism.
### Compassion
A kinder stance toward yourself, grounded in curiosity rather than harshness.
### Acceptance
Working with what’s present—identity, history, current realities— so change is realistic and sustainable.
### Non-Judgemental
A safe, steady place to reflect at your own pace.
## Choosing Your Therapist: Common Questions
### **What makes a therapist neurodivergent-affirming?**
A neurodivergent-affirming therapist treats ADHD, autism, AuDHD, and giftedness as natural differences to work with — not problems to fix. Rather than helping you mask or appear more neurotypical, the focus is on understanding how your brain works and building support that fits it. Both of us practise this way: stimming is welcome, sessions are paced to your nervous system, and nothing about you is treated as broken. For the full picture, **[what neuro-affirming therapy involves](https://becomingyourself.com/onbecomingyourself/neuro-affirming-therapy-ontario-guide)** goes deeper.
### How do I know which therapist is right for me?
Start with the two lists under [Which Therapist Should I Start With?](https://becomingyourself.com/team#which-therapist)Michael’s focus is neurodivergent adults and late diagnosis. Euodia’s focus is anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity and life transitions. If you’re still unsure, book a meet-and-greet with either of us. We share the same approach, so there’s no wrong door.
### What if I pick someone and it doesn't feel like a fit — can I switch?
Yes, and it's genuinely fine. Fit matters more than loyalty, and no one here will be hurt by an honest "I'd like to try working with someone else." We'll handle the handover smoothly — you won't have to start your story from zero.
### Do you work together as a team?
We share values and a philosophy — neurodiversity-affirming, compassionate, no one gets treated as broken — but your therapy belongs to you and your therapist. Your information stays with them, and nothing is shared between us without your consent.
### Do both therapists work with neurodivergent clients?
Yes. The whole practice is neurodiversity-affirming: stimming is welcome, cameras are optional, and the pace follows your nervous system. Michael’s caseload centres on neurodivergent adults, and he is neurodivergent himself. Euodia works with adults who are neurodivergent, questioning or neurotypical, usually around anxiety, depression, self-esteem and life transitions. If you want focused work on ADHD, autism, AuDHD or 2e, start with Michael.
### Are you adding more therapists?
We're growing thoughtfully — the practice expands only when we find clinicians who genuinely share our approach. If you're waiting for a specific specialty or availability, mention it at your meet-and-greet, and we'll let you know when something changes.
### FAQ: How much does therapy cost, and is it covered by insurance?
Sessions with a Registered Social Worker are $175 for 50 minutes, and the first 20-minute meet-and-greet is free. Many extended health plans cover RSW services, so check whether your plan lists “Registered Social Worker.” You don’t need a doctor’s referral to book.
## Book a Free 20-Minute Meet-and-Greet
Choose a therapist above, or just choose a time. The first step is a free 20-minute meet-and-greet by video or phone for adults anywhere in Ontario, and there’s nothing to prepare. Sessions are $175 for 50 minutes; many extended health plans cover Registered Social Worker services, and you don’t need a referral.
