ADHD Therapists in Winchester, VA

We provide a range of psychological evaluations in Harrisonburg–for children, teens, and adults. Assessments for dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia (learning disabilities in reading, writing, and math). We also provide evaluations for ADHD and autism. And, because many of our clients also struggle with anxiety, depression, or similar, we can help sort out how these impact day-to-day functioning.

I am passionate about supporting the healing of individuals, couples (partnered or married), and families. My clients come from all walks of life, ages and life’s circumstances. I work compassionately with Bariatric Clients. As a LGBTQIA+ affirming and anti-oppression informed practitioner, my work is client centered..."I meet you where you are." Identifying and healing the unconscious emotions, desires and needs leads to making life changes. A safe environment, without judgment, is vital for a strong therapeutic relationship and growth through therapy.

Life can be so hard! And, as humans, we tend to only make it more complicated. We often overthink, fail to set boundaries, take things personally, prioritize incorrectly and allow others to define us. As a psychologist, I aim to guide you in making life less complicated and a lot more joyous! Together we can address concerns related to depression, anxiety, coping skills, relationship issues, learning disabilities, ADHD, executive function, etc. This can be done through therapy, psychological / educational evaluations, or a combination of both, depending on your need. All done in a caring, empathetic, yet real, environment.

As a parent and a psychologist, I believe there is nothing more important than the well being of our children. For over thirty years, I have specialized in providing psychological therapy and psychoeducational testing services to children and adolescents in the Winchester area. I believe in the notion that to tap a child's potential, we need to focus on his or her strengths. Psychological testing enables us to determine just what those strenghts are, and if there are significant weaknesses, direct intervention strategies are outlined and put into play. The child's parents are always central in the process.

Life can be overwhelming and lead us to want change. Mental health concerns, worries, daily struggles, past traumatic experiences- so many things can pile on and reduce our window of tolerance. Often we struggle to find the next steps towards getting things to a more balanced state. In our time together, I will empower you to identify your needs and work towards achieving your goals in a warm and supportive environment. We will work to build openness and communication skills that help strengthen your natural supports. This is a space for you to work towards things being better- whatever better might look like for you.

I am only accepting clients for online sessions and Art Therapy Groups at this time. I am compassionate and nonjudgmental and will offer the support you need to overcome life's difficulties. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Art Therapist, I have experience with a wide array of healing modalities. Together we can find the approach that works best for you. I utilize a holistic counseling approach and one of my gifts is listening and responding with my heart. I believe that counseling can help you live a life that you love.

You have the power to tell your story and use your voice. I have a desire to listen and guide you through the story. An integrative, caring approach with an empathetic style is the approach taken with clients. I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I guide clients so they may formulate goals that promote positive outcomes. You can make counseling a productive part of your life. The theories I offer become tools to manage stress and improve functioning.

Running, running, running to where do I ask? Running away from painful feelings is often a compromised solution to painful feelings. Pain and Suffering is the portal to emotional maturity. No one is spared suffering but it is how we choose to make meaning out of loss that makes the difference between thriving or a life of bitterness and defeat. Intentional committment to understanding your unique narrative is the task I can help you with. Together we will identify the patterns of behavior, and intense emotional feelings that dysregulate your emotions. Please visit and contact me through my website; PaulaJHamm.com and send request

Childhood and adolescence is such an important moment in life. At times, children need help navigating through life stages by learning to cope with challenges or life changes. I believe my role as a professional counselor is to develop supportive and collaborative relationships with clients in order to help foster growth and healing. I also offer parenting tools that can help build meaningful support for youth during their journey. I tailor the treatment process to meet the specific needs of each client and utilize creative and engaging therapeutic modalities.

I believe everyone is capable of living a life that brings them joy, happiness, and purpose- whatever that may mean to them. Too often, however, we are carrying the weight of stress, trauma, grief, regret, and shame with us as we try to push forward. Whether the effects of this weight is obvious, or you have adapted your life and identity to hide them, you deserve to be free to live your life in good health, with hope and happiness.

Together the client and I chart a treatment plan that supports the client in using their skills and my knowledge. I am currently working with PTSD and the effects of early trauma on adult functioning. I am also now able to offer LCSW supervision for licensure in the state of Virginia. My experience includes general mental health, workplace issues, marriage counseling, adolescent issues, schools issues, and drug and alcohol assessment and treatment.

I offer a holistic approach to outpatient counseling to both children and adults with an emphasis on problem-solving and searching together for solutions that support life success and positive personal development. I work together with you to help you to overcome depression, anxiety, and trauma toward a happy and fulfilling life, using cognitive behavioral therapy, existential and humanistic counseling, and practical, social work-based approaches.

Ever feel trapped in a cramped mental apartment with relentless self-doubt as your unwelcome companion? It's like sharing space with a critical, nitpicking roommate. Your mind should be your sanctuary, but negative self-talk clutters it. But know this: you hold the lease, the power is in your hands, and it is high time we evict your inner critic and start creating a supportive environment so you can find comfort in your own mental headspace once again.

Life is messy. My job is to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space focused on you—your needs, thoughts, feelings, fears, dreams, and everything in between. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel heard and understood, to help you understand and accept yourself, and to help you develop the tools you need to move through life's messes in the best way possible. I am enthusiastic about working with children, families, young adults, and those working through life transitions.

I enjoy working with clients where they are and helping them to work through the difficult situations they are experiencing. Each person has their own unique gifts and strengths that they can learn to depend on. The transition through life can be a very difficult time for both the patient and their family. My goals when working with patients are to help them increase their communication, teach them to embrace differences, help them accept themselves and empower them to tell their own story to find out who they want to be. I have worked with a vast variety of patients from residential, acute, crisis, PHP and IOP services.

The road to transformation is through conversation! I am a counselor and executive coach combining over 30 years of extensive interpersonal communication expertise and corporate background experience. I work with individuals (couples and groups) from all walks of life who feel stuck, hurt or struggling with their own pain and challenges. Are you feeling low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, caught in a cycle of repetitive destructive behaviors (such as alcohol and drug use), experiencing PTSD, dysfunctional interpersonal relationships, workplace stress/bullying, social injustice or lacking direction, meaning and purpose?
