Welcome to my practice! Have you been looking for a therapist to support you in your healing process who is affirming of your multiple identities? If so, I might be the right fit for you!

I have had the honor of working with individuals across the lifespan with a variety of mental health concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, sexual and gender-identity related issues, family dynamics, and more. I believe that humans are inherently relational and that we are born to thrive in connection to others and wouldn’t be who we are if not for the people that have come in, and sometimes out, of our lives. Examining these relationships can be a huge part of therapy, whether it’s with our parents, our partners, or with ourselves.

Kelly Hutton, ADHD + Trauma Informed Therapist
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
San Diego, CA 92102
Thanks for visiting my page! I primarily work later in life diagnosis of ADHD in teens and adults. I am a neurodivergent therapist myself, and my lived experience helps me to empathize and relate to my clients deeply. I take an affirming lens in my sessions, combating stigma and ableism, and assisting my clients to become more fully themselves. ADHD can affect so much more than just productivity in school or work, it influences the way we show up in relationships and how we see and experience the world. It can be life changing to really understand how your ADHD brain works and how best to support yourself.

You've probably been carrying something for a long time, maybe so long you've stopped noticing the weight of it. You show up, you manage, you keep going. But something quieter underneath keeps asking to be heard. I work with adults and couples navigating grief, loss, relationship patterns, sexuality and expression, life transitions, and the kind of pain that doesn't have an easy name. Clients are welcome to bring dreams, symbols, and even the stories and characters they love into the work. This is a space where the full truth of who you are is not only welcome, but genuinely held.

Are you feeling tired of being so hard on yourself? Maybe you’re finding it difficult to feel confident in your everyday life. You second-guess your decisions, hesitate to speak up, or shrink your needs to keep the peace in your relationships. Feeling unsure of yourself is exhausting. When the inner critic starts to get louder, it can affect everything from your daily mood to the choices you make. Maybe you’ve been pushing through on your own, but now you’re ready for support.

Are you looking for a therapist who can hold space for all of your unique identities, neurotypes, culture and relationship dynamics? That's me! I specialize in working with couples who want to understand each other better, but are struggling to find common ground. I work with couples who are from different cultures, backgrounds, or have different neurotypes (Autism, ADHD, PDA) nor where there are a mix of different neurotypes in the relationship. My lived experience with neurodiversity adds to a fuller understanding for the ways neurodiversity affects relationship dynamics.

Welcome! I am glad you have landed here on my profile. I work primarily with Autistic, PDA and ADHD children, teens, adults and couples/families. I work with parents wanting to better understand and support their neurospicy children. I see Autism and other forms of neurodiversity as being neurotypes and not as disorders.

Your heart feels heavy, your spirit is tired, and there is an inescapable emptiness that is nagging at you. You've played the role of perfect student, friend, and adult so well that you've lost yourself along the way. Growing up, there was little opportunity to reflect on your wants in the interest of the collective. Those whispers asking for change have now evolved into a scream for something uniquely yours. This self-reflection reveals the presence of wounds that you've spent years avoiding and traumas inherited from past generations. You're ready to break the cycle, reconnect to your voice, and address the wounds from the past.

My approach is steady, direct, and human. I’m good at being present through the hard moments and helping people find clarity, footing, and a bit of hope again.

I really value authenticity, so you're getting a real person to talk to and walk alongside you through life's difficult seasons.

Welcome! I am Dr. Ruth Millican and I specialize in assessing for ADHD in adults later in life. If you are higher masking, you may have been missed as a child and not identified properly. This is common, especially in people assigned female at birth or BIPOC. The testing I provide takes all of these factors into consideration to give you the most accurate understanding of your identity. It can be deeply relieving to understand the cause of struggles you have been having. There can be greater self-compassion and ability to express your needs to others, leading to gaining access to accommodations and supports that you need.

I am strengths-based and believe strongly that we are all trying our best! My goal is to establish a strong therapeutic relationship with you to provide a safe space where you can be heard.

In my practice, I specialize in Grief and Loss, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Relationship Challenges, Setting Boundaries and Expectations, and Stress Management.

Feeling stuck dating, in your recovery from a break up, or in your current relationship? Do you find yourself worried about being with the right person, or if you’ll be doomed to pick the same partners over and over again just to wind up hurt? Relationships can be overwhelming, and often times we struggle to feel safe and secure in them. This can lead to hurt, disconnection and falling into the same old patterns (conflict/selection of partners) that have cause pain in the past. This can leave us in a constant state of stress, distraction and loneliness leading to feel unlike ourselves.
