ADHD

Sam Wilson

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, LCSW-C

Attention Deficit Disorder can strike at any time of life, and often compensation techniques that worked well earlier in life can break down when the challenges of career and family place ever increasing demands on your time, energy, and focus. Society often labels people with attention issues as 'lazy' or 'unreliable', making it feel even harder to feel valued and capable. I understand your needs

My previous work experience as a job coach for adults with disabilities informs my approach to treating ADHD. I am creative in my approach, and tailor it to your specific learning style. As a visual and kinesthetic learner, I have had great success incorporating visual aids to enhance our counseling sessions when indicated.

Whether you have a diagnosis or not, living with ADHD or what you think might be ADHD can feel like everyone got the memo for "how to life" except you. As someone with ADHD, I know how hard it can be to navigate a world not set up for you. Without creating systems and tools to set you up for success, it can feel like you're always one, two, or three steps behind. You are not broken, and together we can create those systems so you can thrive.

Clinical Social Work Associate

MSW, CSWA

Receiving an ADHD diagnosis for yourself or your loved one can be both relieving and overwhelming. Finding the right support for your family system and for yourself will play a critical role in creating calm in your world. While ADHD is a chronic lifelong condition, it is treatable, manageable, and conquerable. The best decision you can make for yourself and your loved ones is to seek support to learn the skills and address the fears associated with impaired functioning due to ADHD.

Dr. Ryan Lloyd

Clinical Psychologist

A comprehensive ADHD evaluation should include an examination of sleep problems, anxiety, and other factors that can affect focus and attention. As an experienced psychologist, I can evaluate clients for the core symptoms of ADHD and rule out other concerns. A clear diagnosis should be the cornerstone for a robust treatment plan and supports.

Heather Ackles (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

When you have ADHD, you face all sorts of barriers and feelings - connected with work, due dates, school, and relationships. Therapy is a safe space to open up, navigate your limitations, and find ways to grow beyond them. I’ll share tools and tips to help you manage those “little things” that tend to suffer when you have ADHD – things like scheduling, routines, and diet. (Check out my website to learn more about my education and therapy practice for ADHD.)

Emily Ross-Johnson (she/her/hers)

As a neurodivergent human myself, I understand firsthand the difficulty in operating in a world that is designed for neurotypical people. Understanding the differences in our brains through neuroscience helps us solve problems that are unique to the way our brains work.

I have focused on treating adults with ADHD since I first began practice. I have specialized training in assessing, diagnosing and treating ADHD in adults. I take a strengths based approach to helping adults with ADHD. We will focus on your strengths and passions, but will also identify and work on areas in which you wish to improve. Finally, we will address the emotional components of ADHD and work to develop healthy and effective coping skills.

Amber Liechty (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I personally struggle with ADHD, was diagnosed my first year of college and have gone most of my life unmedicated. I have learned and been educated in organizational systems (both mentally and hands-on) that lead to a successful and happy life. Do yourself a favor and get a "time timer."

Luke Colbourn (he/him/his)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

I often work with students and professionals who are great at procrastinating. They often say: "I know what I need to do, but I'm just not doing it". It's confusing for them, and it points to a real limitation: thinking by itself is often not enough. Which is tough because in my experience people with ADHD are often great thinkers, and able to push themselves very hard at times-and in my experience pushing harder isn't the answer either. We can find new ways instead.

Dr. Winter has experience in assessing ADHD in teens and adults. She is skilled at diagnostic clarification including co-morbid ADHD and ASD, PTSD, OCD and Bipolar Disorder. She has experience with skills training specialized for adults with ADHD. She is skilled at identifying ADHD in women, intellectually gifted folks, and those for whom this diagnosis is often missed.

Ladan Radafshar (She/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, LPC Associate

Those who identify with ADHD are often highly creative with an abundance of ideas + big picture connections. They can also struggle with managing their time (arriving late, super early, or generally overscheduled), organizing daily life (meeting deadlines, staying on task, paying bills on time), and experiencing strong emotions (intense feelings that are hard to manage). I work with clients to regulate difficult emotions and offer effective time management and organizational techniques.

Arielle Ross (they/them)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, MPH, LPC

I want to help folks who, like me, were late diagnosed with ADHD. We'll work on understanding symptoms, including new things we're learning about how ADHD shows up in AFAB and trans* folks. We can work on issues of shame and how not being "good enough" at things that were easy for others impacted your self-esteem. And we can work on creating concrete coping skills for sensory issues, organization & focus.

Your neurodivergence is a part of who you are. I have 5+ years working with people who are neurodivergent (ADHD/Autism). I can work with you to process a diagnosis, explore what your neurodivergence means to you, manage symptoms, or just provide a safe place for you to be understood as we work together. Your neurodivergence can be as much or as little of the topic of conversation as you would like. It is important to have a counselor who understands and accepts YOU, for exactly as you are.

As someone who has been diagnosed with ADHD myself, I have the lived experience of managing associated symptoms, as well as the training to ensure that my interventions with you are evidence-based.

I have experience learning about the cognitive components of ADHD while I provided neuropsychological assessments for three years, with one year focused solely upon assessing ADHD. Please note: I do not currently provide neuropsychological assessment or diagnosis for ADHD. However, in individual therapy, I help clients differentiate their attention and working memory difficulties from their mental health symptoms. I also help clients build skills and fine tune routines.

People who have struggled with learning differences (learning disabilities) may have been shamed, talked down to, and humiliated. When you were younger, you may have been told that you were lazy, and you may have even been made fun of by some of your friends or peers. These types of events in your life can cause you to have low self-esteem, low self-worth, and create other challenges that follow.

Alex Bardole (he/they)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW/LICSW

As a neurodivergent therapist, I am keenly aware of the challenges of ADHD on attention, getting tasks done, and paying things on time, as well as the shame that comes with these challenges. I utilize CBT, DBT, and IFS to help with these challenges.

Clinical Social Work Associate

MSW, CSWA

Many of the children clients I've treated have met the diagnosis for ADHD and suffered from behavioral problems in home, daycare, and school settings. I've had a lot of success helping kiddos to manage their emotions, learn to "stop and think" before acting impulsively, and learn to self soothe when upset so that they can better participate in group settings.

I have more than 20 years experience providing treatment services to youth diagnosed with ADHD. I also taught art to students with ADHD and learning differences at a small private middle school for 5 years. It's common for youth with ADHD to struggle with managing school, emotional regulation, anxiety, depression and underlying feelings of shame. Therapy helps youth strengthen lagging skills and increase self-compassion and confidence.

Amanda Ball (she/her)

Missed or mis-diagnosis of ADHD can leave adults with this condition feeling defeated or incompetent. As a person with lived experience of being diagnosed late in life I can help you evaluate if your symptoms are consistent with ADHD, de-stigmatize what it means to live with ADHD and collaborate with you on what supports will work best for you.
