DL, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCTP
I specialize in working with adults with ADHD who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or chronically behind despite trying really hard. My approach focuses on building momentum—helping you move from intention to action in realistic, sustainable ways. Together, we work on follow-through, emotional regulation, time blindness, and self-trust, while replacing shame with clarity and forward motion. Therapy isn’t about becoming a different person—it’s about learning how your brain works and using that knowledge to create traction in your life. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s progress and building systems that actually work for an ADHD brain.

Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. This is particularly true for girls and women. Girls’ and womens’ ADHD tends to manifest differently from boys and men. The symptoms may be harder to recognize and/or they may have developed strategies to compensate for their ADHD symptoms. This is predominately the case with ADHD testing. Computerized tests such as the T.O.V.A. and the CPT test diagnose 80% of individuals with ADHD. In other words, there is a false negative of 20% of individuals that have ADHD and are not identified by these extensive tests. Hence, a thorough history with a deep understanding of neuroscience and executive functioning is critical to determine whether an individual would qualify for an ADHD diagnosis.
The advances in neuroscience through the technology of brain imaging has facilitated our understanding about the complexity of the brain. The brain is viewed as a self-regulating system. This fundamental human capacity is the ability to regulate and control our thoughts, feelings and behavior. Recent developments in neuroscience have increased our understanding of the neural underpinnings of self-regulation. Self-regulation is often used interchangeably with the term of executive functioning.
Despite these challenges, being neurodiverse offers great advantages. First and foremost, neurodiverse individuals are intelligent. They have average to above average IQ’s. They naturally think outside of the box and are innovative by nature. In fact, it is noted that many successful entrepreneurs have ADHD. The areas of their ADHD that have lead to their success in business include hyper-focusing, divergent thinking, risk taking, and hyperactivity. With therapy and ADHD coaching, one can learn to harness one’s strengths and minimize one’s weaknesses to be healthy, happy and successful.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
ADHD is most often identified through symptoms involving attention-deficit disorders and major hyperactivity. My approach to the treatment of ADHD involves understanding and treating mind and brain. I introduce weekly talk sessions, the use of supplements for anxiety and brain health, and the use of NuCalm technology (see NuCalm.com) for calming the sympathetic nervous system and bringing on the parasympathetic nervous system. I recognize that a diagnosis of ADHD also encompasses behavior/conduct problems, learning disabilities, and increase in anxiety and depression, difficulties with peer relationships, poor oral health and other health problems, and an increased risk of injury. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
ADHD in adults often gets misunderstood as a simple attention problem, but it's actually a complex neurological difference affecting everything from decision-making to emotional responses. Many high-achieving adults live with undiagnosed ADHD for years, developing workarounds that eventually become unsustainable. I help clients move beyond exhausting coping mechanisms toward sustainable approaches that capitalize on ADHD advantages while addressing perfectionism and self-criticism.

Hailey Goldberg
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker (MSW), DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™
As a therapist with ADHD myself, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work with neurodivergent clients. I provide neurodiversity-affirming support for individuals navigating ADHD, executive functioning challenges, burnout, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and the impacts of living in a world that is not always designed for neurodivergent minds.
My approach focuses on understanding your unique strengths, challenges, and experiences rather than trying to "fix" who you are. Together, we can work on practical strategies, self-compassion, and creating systems that fit your brain, while also addressing the emotional impacts of masking, chronic overwhelm, perfectionism, or feeling misunderstood. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves and build lives that feel both sustainable and authentic.
