Disclaimer

Effective July 31, 2026

Educational information only

ADHDguide.ca provides general educational and reflective information about ADHD, trauma-related stress, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and nervous-system patterns. It does not provide diagnosis, psychological assessment, counselling, psychotherapy, medical advice, medication guidance, treatment, emergency services, or crisis support.

No professional relationship

Using the website, downloading a guide, purchasing a product, completing a worksheet, joining an email list, or contacting ADHDguide.ca does not create a psychologist-client, counsellor-client, therapist-client, doctor-patient, fiduciary, or other professional relationship.

Founder credentials

ADHDguide.ca was founded by Alberto Salazar. Alberto is licensed to practise psychology in Mexico and is completing a Master of Counselling program in Vancouver, British Columbia. He has professional experience in child and youth mental-health settings.

He is not registered as a psychologist in British Columbia and is not currently representing himself as an RCC or CCC through ADHDguide.ca.

ADHDguide.ca is an independent educational business. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Alberto's employer, university, or any regulatory organization.

No diagnosis or self-diagnosis

ADHD, PTSD, trauma-related disorders, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, substance-related conditions, medical conditions, and other concerns may overlap. A guide or worksheet cannot determine the cause of an individual's experience.

Use the materials to organize observations and questions. Seek an appropriately qualified professional when assessment, diagnosis, treatment, medication, or individualized clinical guidance is needed.

Medications and health decisions

Do not start, stop, or change medication, treatment, or professional care based on ADHDguide.ca content. Discuss health and medication decisions with a qualified prescriber or other appropriate professional.

Emotional discomfort

Reflection on stress, trauma, relationships, or difficult experiences may bring up discomfort. You may pause, skip a question, choose a neutral example, or seek qualified support.

Emergency and crisis boundary

ADHDguide.ca does not monitor messages continuously and cannot provide emergency or crisis intervention. If you may harm yourself or someone else, cannot stay safe, feel disconnected from reality, or have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency service or crisis service now.

Fictional examples

Jordan, Maya, and other named examples are fictional composites. They are not real clients, testimonials, diagnostic profiles, or claims about typical results.

No guaranteed result

Individual experiences vary. ADHDguide.ca does not guarantee diagnosis, symptom improvement, clinical outcomes, task completion, productivity, relationship changes, or another specific result.

External information

Links and references are provided for convenience and education. Third-party content may change, and a link does not necessarily imply endorsement.
