“Empowering Growth, YOUR Way“
*Please note: unfortunately I am not currently accepting new therapy clients/referrals, or operating a therapy waitlist, as my books are full*
At Divergent Path Psychology, we honour the full spectrum of human experience and the many ways minds and lives can flourish. Our approach is inclusive, affirming, flexible—and always human. Whether you’re seeking support, self-understanding, or meaningful change, we walk alongside you with compassion, care, and respect for your lived experience.
This is psychology done differently. Here, difference is not something to fix – it’s something to understand, embrace, and work with.
ABOUT ME
Registered Psychologist | Neurodivergent Practitioner | Parent | Advocate | Lifelong learner and unapologetic nerd
I’m Alecia, a registered psychologist with an AuDHD perspective, dedicated to fostering authenticity, genuine connection, and self-exploration.
I believe every mind is wonderfully unique, and true mental wellbeing comes from embracing your differences—not working against them. I am passionate about providing support that celebrates individuality, honours neurodivergent experiences, and empowers people to discover their ‘divergent path’ to healing and growth.
