ADHD Therapists in Gray, TN
By using multiple styles, we can practice different techniques simultaneously to help you add skills quickly to your toolbox.
Life isn't easy. Throw in some anxiety, depression, life events, and a few relationship issues, and NOW it feels like the hard days outweigh the easy ones.

Together, we’ll build practical tools to keep you unfrazzled in the chaos that anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions endlessly create. If you’re ready for real change, I’d be honored to help you find your way to a calm, collected and connected self, no matter what life brings.

Are you carrying more than your share, feeling unseen, or simply running on empty? Whether you're dealing with stress, grief, burnout, relationship strain, or just trying to find your footing in a world that demands so much, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. I work with adults who want a calm, confidential space to be honest, explore what’s weighing on them, and begin to heal or make meaningful change. Many of my clients are women in caregiving roles, men who’ve been taught to tough it out silently, or people navigating family transitions, loss, and identity shifts.

I provide therapy to people from all walks of life and tailor counseling to each individual. I meet people right where they are to help them take steps towards the life they want. I believe that people who struggle with their thoughts and feelings are often just looking for a way to be the person they want to be and sometimes get lost along the way. They want to hold true to their personal values when making choices but have trouble finding a way forward. I believe that, through therapy, people can learn new and creative ways to respond to those thoughts and feelings so they can get back to living a life guided by their values.

Most of the men I work with are carrying more than they let on: pressure at work, conflict at home, ADHD that's finally catching up, anxiety that shows up as anger, or a low-grade feeling that they're failing some test no one will name.

We'll build practical tools you can use this week — communication, emotional regulation, focus, follow-through, boundaries — while also getting underneath the patterns that keep the same fights, slumps, and shutdowns showing up.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
