New Clients

If you are new to Think Different Therapy, please book one of these sessions.


Follow-up Video Sessions

Video sessions are a good choice for those who like to see their therapist's body language and facial expressions. Video sessions are accessed via https://doxy.me/davidkirshner. When you arrive, you will be prompted to enter your name and then taken to a virtual waiting room. Your session will then begin shortly. Please ensure you have a strong internet connection and a device with a camera.


Follow-up Phone Sessions

Phone sessions are ideal if you have difficulty sitting still for a video call or are uncomfortable being on camera. There is no difference in the session itself, and you can choose to switch to video at anytime. Phone sessions will be held at the number you provided on your Jane account, which I will call at the scheduled start time of the appointment.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? As a neurodivergent person you may have tried your best to navigate society’s neurotypical expectations that do not fully accommodate Autism, ADHD, and OCD. Although you give 100% you still end up feeling like it is not enough, leaving you feeling burnt out; stressed; overstimulated; wanting respite from masking in social interactions; and not having enough energy for your important relationships. When faced with these difficulties I believe we all have the strengths and resources to overcome our challenges. I want to help you uncover your hidden strengths, embrace your neurodivergent identity as valuable in its own right, and support you in living a fulfilling life.

Together, we will collaboratively develop strategies to manage sensory overload, enhance emotional regulation, and build self-advocacy skills. I wish to help you in your journey through my holistic approach that considers all the psychological, social, and physical health factors surrounding your concerns. In my 6 years of experience coaching and counselling people, I have seen the benefits of establishing healthy routines step-by-step as you practice taking a breath in the chaos; give yourself time to recognize and celebrate your daily accomplishments; greater understand your needs; set boundaries; and learn to better navigate social and work environments.

Feeling like you’re running on empty doesn’t have to be your normal, and you don’t have to keep navigating this alone. When you feel more rejuvenated and comfortable we can explore your trauma at your own pace to support your healing. I encourage you to communicate in the way that feels most natural for you. Together we will create a safe space that explores your unique strengths and challenges, and celebrates your neurodivergent identity while helping you achieve your personal goals.

As a therapist, my approach is largely based on acceptance. ADHD and Autism both come with many gifts, but also significant challenges. I believe that only by understanding and accepting both sides of this can we truly learn to live healthy, neurodivergent lives. I strive to help clients succeed with ADHD and/or Autism, not despite them.

I have 5+ years of experience working with ADHD and Autistic children, teenagers, adults, and seniors, and their families. My clients come from a diverse range of backgrounds, and I have particular experience working with neurodivergent women and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to benefit from therapy.
