Dr. Cristal Lopez
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

Ryan Muldoon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Navigating an ADHD brain can feel like walking through a cluttered room. While moving from one thought to the next you may bump into clutter along the way. Although you may be able to maneuver around some of them, an overwhelming amount of clutter can bring you to a halt. This is how I used to describe my own ADHD, until I discovered various tricks, tools, and creative hacks that I can now share with you.

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
There has been a recent spike in recognizing more neurodivergent disorders in adults in these last few years. New research has suggested that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), typically diagnosed in childhood, has often be missed in childhood due to several factors related to a childs temperment, education supports, family life, and many other factors. ADHD can contribute to issues with focusing, motivation, socializing, completing tasks, work, hygeine, and many other factors that sometimes look like depression or anxiety, but have a much different cause. Whole Wellness Therpy offers a broad range of approaches to exploring diagnoses, implementing appropriate solitions tailored to work best with the way our clients work best, and empowering our clients to look at neurodivergence from a strength-based perspective.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Neurodiversity-affirming ADHD therapy and adult ADHD evaluations grounded in the understanding that ADHD is not simply a collection of symptoms, but a unique way of experiencing, processing, attending to, and engaging with the world. My work supports teens and adults navigating executive functioning differences, emotional intensity, rejection sensitivity, masking, burnout, perfectionism, demand avoidance, nervous system overwhelm, and the cumulative impact of years spent feeling misunderstood, "too much," "not enough," inconsistent, lazy, unmotivated, or perpetually behind despite working incredibly hard.
ADHD often extends far beyond attention alone. It can shape relationships, self-esteem, sensory experiences, motivation, emotional regulation, time perception, energy management, organization, follow-through, identity, and the ways we connect with our interests, passions, and creativity. It can also influence how the nervous system responds to expectations, demands, transitions, uncertainty, criticism, and chronic stress.
This work explores the intersections of neurodivergence, trauma, culture, giftedness, disability, family systems, identity, and internalized ableist narratives that may have shaped your relationship with yourself. Particular attention is given to the ways masking, overcompensation, perfectionism, people-pleasing, chronic self-monitoring, and overachievement can develop as adaptive responses within environments that may not have recognized, supported, or accommodated neurodivergent needs.
Rather than focusing solely on productivity, performance, or behavioral change, therapy centers self-understanding, nervous system regulation, self-trust, self-compassion, and creating sustainable ways of living that honor how your brain and body naturally work. Depending on your goals, our work may incorporate EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, parts work, executive functioning support, expressive arts, neuropsychotherapy, and practical strategies that build upon strengths rather than attempting to force neurotypical standards.
My work is informed by both professional expertise and lived understanding of neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, culture, and systemic oppression, I recognize that ADHD often presents differently than dominant stereotypes suggest. My practice is especially attuned to high-masking, high-achieving, gifted, AFAB, BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, creative, spiritually-oriented, and otherwise frequently overlooked individuals whose experiences may have been missed, misunderstood, minimized, or misdiagnosed.
I also provide comprehensive adult ADHD evaluations through a culturally responsive, neurodivergent-affirming assessment process designed to recognize nuanced and complex presentations. Evaluations move beyond checklists alone and include an in-depth exploration of developmental history, lived experience, executive functioning, sensory patterns, masking, strengths, challenges, identity, and functional impacts, resulting in a thorough affirming report with individualized recommendations and resources.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Adult ADHD can go undiagnosed for years, and can lead to feeling disorganized, unproductive and self-critical. If you feel held back by forgetfulness, interpersonal conflict, overcommitment, taking on too many things at once and spreading yourself too thin, there is effective help available. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old patterns and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA & NY
Adult ADHD is something I am very passionate about reducing the stigma of. During my time in graduate school I helped to create a manual to helps students with learning differences such as a ADHD learn to navigate their graduate school experience (e.g. how to get accommodations and support). I enjoy helping my clients understand their strengths that may have developed as a result of ADHD. I am also rewarded by helping my clients navigate the significant challenges that come related to ADHD. Together we will work to help you find organization, planning, and coping skills that will work for you. Please note that I provide therapy for ADHD but do not offer testing but I can help you find someone who can help you with that.

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
With extensive knowledge and experience in ADHD, I work with you to move beyond the stereotypes and embrace a neurodiversity-affirming perspective. I understand that living with ADHD involves unique challenges such as the constant stress and procrastination to the intense periods of hyperfocus. Most importantly, I offer non-judgemental guidance because I've also struggled and wasn't diagnosed until I was in my PhD program! I'm dedicated to helping you transform your best intentions into consistent, effective action and build a life that truly supports your naturally wired brain! I can also help with diagnostic clarification via a formalized assessment.

Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
I work with clients with an ADHD diagnosis, using didactic approaches derived from the science of productivity. I also support the use of psychotropic medications as appropriate. While ADHD may be biological in etiology, the psychological ramifications of living with ADHD can be devastating; feeling like a failure from early educational experiences, clients benefit from the support psychotherapy offers.
