Melanie Bettes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, Coach
ADHD. While it's uniquely presented in everyone, there are still commonalities. The challenge is usually to figure out how to work with YOUR presentation, and not apply a universal approach to each person. It's as unique as you are, and I strive to approach your challenges the same way. I myself have ADHD. I learn through education and study, as well as from people in my circle who have ADHD....and from YOU! I love when we find an approach or tips that work for YOU. When working with me, we find what works for YOU.

Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
My experience with ADHD is not just academic, it's also personal. I have ADHD. ADHD, like autism, is only a "disorder" in the context of our culture. ADHD is a brain-based condition. That means ADHD brains are structured slightly differently and function slightly differently. People with ADHD appear "disordered" when measured by neurotypical standards. I view my role as helping you to understand how your brain works (as opposed to a neurotypical brain) and to help you harness your ADHD strengths. I will help you develop strategies for addressing challenges that your ADHD creates in your life.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in ADHD, I take a comprehensive and personalized approach to treatment. This involves thorough assessment to understand the individual's unique strengths, challenges, and needs. Through evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavior modification techniques, and psychoeducation, I empower clients to manage their symptoms effectively. Collaborating closely with clients, families, and other professionals, I create tailored strategies to improve organization, time management, and impulse control. Additionally, when appropriate, I integrate medication management into the treatment plan to address specific symptoms. My goal is to support individuals with ADHD in maximizing their potential, enhancing self-esteem, and achieving success in various aspects of their lives.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Many people with ADHD have received and internalized the message that they are lazy or not living up to their potential; it is common for individuals with ADHD to be hard on themselves in an attempt to increase productivity and reliability. Yet, each failure reinforces the message that they are inadequate. Moreover, the nature of ADHD often makes it difficult to organize and soothe difficult thoughts and emotions, leaving one vulnerable to anxiety and depression.
