The Person Behind The Cognitive Canopy
Laurel Webb is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at The Cognitive Canopy and specializes in neurodiversity. Her undergraduate degree was completed at The University of Toronto and she graduated with honours from Yorkville University's Masters of Counselling Psychology program. Laurel is proudly neurodiverse and is raising two incredible children with ADD/ADHD. She has 7 years of experience working as an ADD/ADHD coach, both in private practice and within the post-secondary environment, where she successfully implemented and facilitated a grant-funded ADD/ADHD coaching program at Durham College. Laurel completed her practicum placement (internship) at Ontario Tech University and accordingly, is experienced working with teens and emerging adults. Moreover, ADD/ADHD coaching has provided her with opportunity to work with neurodiverse teens and adults, as well as with parents/caregivers of children and adults with ADD/ADHD. Laurel also consults with healthcare practitioners and educators on how to support neurodiverse students in high school and post-secondary environments. Consequently, Laurel's combination of personal and professional experience with neurodiversity gives her a unique perspective when working with her clients and their families.
Our Approach
