Abigail Ajodha – Registered Psychotherapist

Trauma-Informed Online Therapy for Women, Couples & Moms of ND Kids

Supporting Neurodivergent Parenting, ADHD in Women & Intersectional Identities

Abigail is a trauma-informed psychotherapist offering specialized online therapy for women, couples, and caregivers across Ontario and most Canadian provinces. She specializes in supporting those navigating identity loss, burnout, and chronic stress. Abigail is especially passionate about working with mothers of neurodivergent children, providing a safe, grounded space to process the unique weight of advocacy fatigue and emotional exhaustion.

The Lived Experience Connection: Her clinical work is deeply shaped by her own understanding of what it’s like to grow up in environments that normalize self-sacrifice. Abigail knows how emotional neglect and systemic pressures can disconnect women from their own voice. She is here to help you break cycles of people-pleasing and chronic guilt so you can begin to live more authentically.

A Grounded Human Approach: With a background in inclusive resource practice and social work, Abigail brings a lifespan-informed perspective to neurodivergence and relational healing. Her therapeutic space is one of radical affirmation—rooted in the belief that even in the heaviest seasons of "survival mode," you deserve a place to exhale, rebuild trust, and find your way back to yourself.

Who Abigail Supports

Abigail offers virtual therapy for women and couples seeking a space to move from survival mode back into their own lives. Her clients often include:

• Mothers of Neurodivergent Children: Navigating the unique weight of advocacy fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and the identity shifts that come with parenting kids with diverse needs.
• Women with ADHD & Chronic Burnout: Supporting those struggling with executive dysfunction, sensory overwhelm, and the "invisible load" of modern womanhood.
• Couples in Distress: Utilizing Gottman Method principles to help partners move past resentment, improve communication, and rebuild emotional connection.
• Intersectional & BIPOC Women: Providing a culturally responsive space to explore systemic stress, cultural pressures, and the healing of intergenerational patterns.
• Caregivers & Empaths: Helping those who carry the emotional weight of others to establish sustainable boundaries and recover from role fatigue or chronic guilt.

The Frameworks That Shape Her Therapy Style

• •Internal Family Systems (IFS): An approach that views the mind as a system of "parts," helping you move from internal conflict toward self-compassion, clarity, and a more integrated sense of self.
• •Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT): Providing practical, grounded tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance—essential for managing the "hyperdrive" of burnout and advocacy fatigue.
• •Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Identifying and shifting the deep-seated thought patterns and "shoulds" that often lead to chronic guilt, people-pleasing, and self-blame.
• •Mindfulness-Based Practices: Incorporating grounding techniques to help regulate the nervous system, allowing you to stay present and connected even in high-stress parenting or life moments.
• •Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Developing psychological flexibility to help you move toward your core values while learning to handle the difficult thoughts and feelings that arise during life transitions.
• •Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): A collaborative approach focusing on the emotional core of your experiences to build secure attachment and break generational cycles of emotional disconnection.
• •Self-Compassion Informed Care: Shifting away from narratives of self-sacrifice toward a gentler, more supportive relationship with yourself—healing the wounds of emotional neglect.
