Have you been wanting therapy but are worried about getting misgendered or having to educate your therapist about the complexities of gender? Or maybe you want a therapist who’s neurodiversity-affirming and has a more up-to-date understanding of autism? I’m also a great fit for folks who are still taking COVID precautions and don’t want that to be pathologized as anxiety, or for anyone who feels easily overwhelmed by difficult feelings and thoughts and wants to learn a new way of navigating those experiences. I'm polyamory-friendly, kink-friendly, and comfortable with a variety of unconventional family structures, as well.

I approach counseling from a systems perspective. A systems way of thinking states that you impact, and are impacted by, the family you grew up in as well as the one you are currently a part of. I view counseling as a collaborative process in which we will examine the source of your concerns, problems, and relationships in the context of a safe, therapeutic relationship. We will develop a plan of action for reaching your personalized goals and will incorporate your unique strengths, resources, supports, and culture. At this time I provide individual and family therapy (no couples counseling).

ADHD Therapists
How can therapy help with ADHD?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. Therapy can help you develop practical strategies for managing challenges such as procrastination, disorganization, difficulty with time management, impulsivity, and trouble starting or completing tasks. Therapy can also help address the emotional aspects of ADHD, including stress, low self-esteem, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday demands. Medication, commonly prescribed by psychiatrists, is another common treatment for ADHD and may help reduce core symptoms, particularly when used alongside therapy or other skills-based support.

Who can diagnose ADHD?
Many professionals, including psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, and certain types of therapists (e.g., licensed counselors and clinical social workers) can diagnose ADHD. However, while certain types of therapists may be able to diagnose, they usually cannot prescribe medication; only medical providers, such as psychiatrists and certain nurse practitioners, are able to prescribe and manage ADHD medications. Therapists can also usually not provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, especially if specialized testing is required.

What therapeutic approaches are most effective for ADHD?
Treatment for ADHD often includes a combination of medication and behavioral support. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely studied therapeutic approaches for ADHD, particularly in adults. It can help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns while developing practical skills for managing everyday challenges. For children, treatment frequently involves parents, caregivers, or teachers and includes strategies to support the child at home or school.

Can therapy help with ADHD in children and adults differently?
Therapy for ADHD often looks different for children and adults. For children, treatment often focuses on behavioral strategies, such as establishing consistent routines, reinforcing positive behaviors, and setting clear expectations. Parents, caregivers, and teachers are often actively involved in treatment so that these strategies are consistently used across settings. In contrast, adult ADHD therapy is often more conversational and self-directed, while still remaining skills-based. Treatment may focus on executive functioning, including planning, organization, time management, and emotional regulation.

How can I find an ADHD therapist?
The Psychology Today Directory is a helpful resource for locating therapists who specialize in diagnosing and treating ADHD. You can filter search results by clinician specialty, cost, location, and identity preferences. When evaluating potential professionals, it is important to ask about their experience in treating ADHD, as well as their typical approach to therapy. If you are seeking evaluation or treatment for a young child, it may be beneficial to search for a child therapist who is more knowledgeable about appropriate treatment for younger clients. In addition, it's important to verify whether a therapist accepts your insurance—and, since not all plans fully cover ADHD assessments or testing services, it’s especially important to confirm that these specific services are included in your coverage before starting the treatment process.
