Equity & Identity
Seven Generations of Impact
Robert Simms
Robert is here to support you with ADHD, relationships, communication skills, and cultural identity.
Robert supports adolescents, adults, and couples to understand and accept their ADHD diagnosis and manage symptoms. He can help you strengthen communication skills, understand emotional regulation, and challenge your imposter syndrome. Robert has lived experience as an adult diagnosed with ADHD and understands the internalized shame that undiagnosed or unrecognized ADHD can bring. Robert can help you navigate the post-diagnosis world and reframe how you see yourself and relate to others.
Robert is skilled at helping couples develop healthier relationship dynamics. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your communication, set healthy boundaries, or deal with complex issues like infidelity, Robert is here to help. Robert specializes in supporting male-identifying people who find it hard to express their emotions. He’ll help you find the root causes of your anger so that you can address them and move forward. He is willing to both challenge his clients and meet them with humour. Robert is good at helping his clients to understand their patterns and underlying thoughts or behaviours.
Because of his own journey of self-discovery as a non-status Metis, Robert is passionate about helping you to examine your cultural identity. Robert can help you reconcile different cultural identities, bridge your family’s culture with your Canadian identity, and live authentically with the different pieces of your identity. Robert understands that the journey of self-identity and self-discovery is different for each person. He’ll work with you to find your own path.
A few interesting facts about Robert: his wife is Deaf (and comes from a Deaf family); he lived and worked in the Northwest Territories for many years, and he has moved over 50 times in his life. Robert was diagnosed with ADHD after his daughter was when Robert noticed that he had a lot of the same behaviours/symptoms she did. He loves to read and watch TV. He likes playing RPG video games but rarely has the time. He enjoys running, weightlifting, and spending time outside with his family.
