Our Team
You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.
My name is Juana Pfadt, and I work with individuals and couples navigating pivotal life transitions, processing past experiences, and exploring deeper questions of identity, purpose, and direction. Many people I work with function on the outside while feeling scattered, behind, disconnected, or on edge internally. My specialties include:
Social Anxiety
ADHD
Executive Functioning
Trauma-related Stress
I draw from evidence-based approaches such as:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT)
Solution-Focused Strategies

Do you find yourself struggling to connect with others? Do you find that anxiety, fear of judgement from others or symptoms of ADHD prevents you from meeting new people, creating deeper connections with acquaintances, finding a romantic partner, speaking your mind or attending social events altogether? Is it hard to show your real self in social situations or at work, so you "mask" or hide that part of yourself, because you find it difficult to accept who you are and criticize yourself often? Well, this doesn't have to be your experience forever.
