@Jojosephine, another way to find a psychologist who specializes in Adult ADHD, is to use the “Coach Directory” (http://totallyadd.com/coaching-directory-search/), to find Coaches in your area. Call a couple of them, and ask if they know of anyone.
Just be aware that there’s a huge shortage of ADHD specialists, let alone Adult ADHD specialists, so you may have to shlep into Toronto or Barrie.
If, like me, you rely on public transit, Toronto might be a better bet for you than Barrie. I go to the Springboard Clinic, which is just a couple of minutes’ walk north on Yonge St., from Rosedale subway station. As with most ADHD clinics, most of their clients are children, but they’re seeing more adults, as awareness of Adult ADHD increases.
You could also try contacting the Learning Disabilities Association of Peterborough (http://www.ldaptbo.com). They might be able to recommend someone in York Region.
