Our Approach


The Springboard Approach

You can’t switch off ADHD. It’s part of who you are — but only one part. We’re interested in exploring the rest. Instead of focusing on what you’re not able to do, we help you discover your hidden strengths and steadily develop your untapped potential. It’s a unique approach we call Discover your SELF.

Our Team & Culture


A skilled team and a welcoming culture

When we opened our doors in 2009, Springboard Clinic consisted of three women: Dr Ainslie Gray; her daughter and co-founder, Laura MacNiven; and a business manager. Today we’re a diverse, multitalented and growing team of coach-therapists, psychologists, physicians and administrators — and the vision and passion that shaped Springboard remain as strong as ever.

Clients come to Springboard, and recommend us to others, because we’re skilled at what we do and achieve positive outcomes. Just as importantly, they choose us because they recognize that we’re a team of dedicated, compassionate professionals who want to help our clients uncover their strengths and lead more fulfilling lives.

Featured FAQ

Will the team take time to get to know me?

Absolutely. The number one comment we hear from thousands of appreciative Springboard clients is how much we care. Everyone on the team has unique skills and expertise, but the common thread is deep, unwavering empathy. We understand ADHD intimately. We’ve lived the experience with our families and friends, or in our own lives. We know how emotional this journey is. And we never stop showing how much we believe in our clients, so they never stop believing in themselves.
