Eric Tivers (ADHD reWired)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
I’m an AuDHD, queer, and sex-positive therapist who gets what it’s like to live in a brain that doesn’t always play by the rules. I work with adults across Illinois who have ADHD, autism, or both — folks who are tired of shame and ready for something that actually works. Together, we’ll untangle what’s getting in the way, build systems that fit your life (not the other way around), and bring humor and compassion to the process. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, kink-aware, and rooted in understanding, not judgment.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, CCMHC
I'm a fully remote therapist specializing in late diagnosed neurodivergent adults. I have several years of experience and dedicate my training to support survivors of childhood trauma and helping neurodivergent adults accept their uniqueness and find comfort and safety in unmasking.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
I became a psychoanalytical therapist because I believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and understanding. The profound impact of exploring the depths of the unconscious mind and uncovering the roots of one's thoughts and behaviors can lead to lasting change and emotional well-being. I chose psychoanalysis as my therapeutic approach because it provides a unique framework for delving into the complexities of the human psyche, offering individuals a profound opportunity for self-discovery and healing.
Psychoanalysis, with its emphasis on the unconscious mind, allows me to work with patients in a way that goes beyond surface-level symptoms, addressing the underlying causes of emotional struggles. I am passionate about providing a space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and past experiences in a deep and meaningful way, fostering insight and facilitating personal growth.
