Registered Psychotherapist Trauma, Motherhood & Women's Mental Health Therapist
Abigail Ajodha – Registered Psychotherapist
Trauma-Informed Online Therapy for Women, Couples & Moms of ND Kids
Many of the women Abigail works with have spent years carrying everyone else's emotional needs before their own. Whether that responsibility comes from family expectations, parenting a neurodivergent child, cultural pressures, caregiving, or constantly being the dependable one, therapy offers a place to finally put some of that weight down.
Her approach is grounded, affirming, and deeply human, offering a space to exhale, process, and begin reconnecting with yourself—even in the midst of survival mode. If you’re carrying expectations—from your family, your culture, or yourself—you don’t have to carry them alone.
- Women Raising Neurodivergent Children: Supporting parents navigating advocacy fatigue, caregiver burnout, and the emotional realities of raising a neurodivergent child.
- Women Carrying the Invisible Mental Load: Helping women overwhelmed by the invisible mental load, emotional labour, and responsibilities of everyday life.
