Yellow Serenity Counselling & Psychotherapy

About Us

At Yellow Serenity, we believe neurodiversity is not a limitation. It’s a beautiful, dynamic spectrum of human experience. We recognize that every individual’s brain is wired uniquely, and that these differences are not deficits but rather reflections of the diversity that makes our world vibrant and innovative. Whether you identify as neurodivergent yourself or are exploring this aspect of your identity, our practice is built on the belief that everyone deserves to be understood, supported, and celebrated for who they are.

Our approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a genuine appreciation for both the strengths and challenges that accompany neurodivergence. We prioritize creating a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences, without fear of stigma or misunderstanding. We understand how difficult it can be to seek help, especially in a world that often pathologizes differences. That’s why our therapists are committed to meeting clients exactly where they are, with openness, respect, and authenticity.

Yellow Serenity was founded by Kaleigh Smith, a Registered Psychotherapist who brings a powerful combination of professional training and personal insight to her work. As someone who has ADHD herself, Kaleigh deeply understands the lived experience of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world. From the invisible weight of executive dysfunction to the gift of divergent thinking, she brings both empathy and expertise to every session. Her journey informs not only her therapeutic style but also the values and philosophy that guide our entire practice.

Whether you’re navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges, our therapists are here to walk alongside you with care and understanding.

We also recognize the importance of providing real-world strategies that are both accessible and sustainable. This might mean exploring time management tools that actually work for ADHD brains, building routines that honour your energy levels, or working through internalized ableism that may have shaped how you see yourself. We’re here to support the whole you, without pressure to “fix” what was never broken in the first place.

Our mission is to empower neurodivergent individuals to embrace their identities, honour their needs, and thrive in their own way. We believe that healing happens in spaces of trust and connection, and we’re proud to offer a therapeutic environment where authenticity is not only accepted, but celebrated. By offering services that are inclusive, affirming, and grounded in both clinical knowledge and lived experience, we aim to reduce the barriers that neurodivergent individuals often face in accessing mental health support.

At Yellow Serenity, we are more than just a psychotherapy practice. We are a community rooted in understanding, advocacy, and care. We are continually learning and growing, committed to deepening our knowledge and expanding our services to better serve our clients and the broader neurodivergent community.

If you’re looking for a therapist that truly “gets it”, we invite you to connect with us. You deserve to be supported by people who see your whole self and recognize the incredible value of your neurodiversity. Wherever you are in your journey, Yellow Serenity is here to support you every step of the way.
