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.

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have a strong interest in helping individuals and couples better understand, accept, and work with ADHD. In relationships, ADHD can easily become filtered through painful or inaccurate narratives—partners may misinterpret symptoms as character flaws, while the person with ADHD often carries longstanding, self-critical beliefs that become deeply ingrained over time. In our work, we slow down these dynamics, build shared or individual understanding, and replace corrosive stories with more accurate and compassionate ones.

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.

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.

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.

Micha Noble, MA
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT
I have a special interest and much experience working with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I believe that what makes us different makes us beautiful and we strive to destigmatize what makes us different and embrace this diagnosis as a strength. The world needs more people who don’t fit the mold.

Chris Doorley
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
I've worked with a large number of individuals with ADHD or a number of its symptoms (without a medical diagnosis), and have found a few things that help manage those. The first, organizational supports, are time management and organizational practices. Next, we move onto asking for help— knowing when to push through oneself, or to ask for support. Third, we'll do self-compassion work to be able to forgive yourself when things feel challenging. Last, how does ADHD affect relationships? Some people are familiar with that question, while others haven't asked it yet.

20 Years Experience
Online in San Jose, CA
San Jose sits at the heart of Silicon Valley, where the pressures of the tech industry — performance anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the psychological cost of relentless innovation culture — drive significant demand for therapists experienced in high-achievement environments. The city's large South Asian and East Asian communities mean culturally competent therapists who understand the intersection of immigrant identity, family expectations, and mental health are particularly sought after. Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing independent therapy community. Many South Bay therapists offer evening and weekend hours to accommodate the demanding work schedules common in the tech sector.
