Nicole Merrigan, LPA, PLLC
Psychologist, MA, LPA
ADHD is a core passion of my practice, and I work with adults across the entire spectrum—from those diagnosed in childhood to individuals recognizing the signs for the very first time in adulthood. Whether your ADHD shows up as mental fog and disorganization, intense emotional storms, impulsivity, or restless hyperactivity, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Together, we use a tailored combination of specialized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices. We will build practical, real-world systems for focus and time management, while also learning how to quiet the self-doubt and emotional exhaustion that often come with a neurodivergent brain.

Emily Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
Navigating the Brilliance and the Burnout
ADHD is rarely just about "focus"—it is a complex, lived experience that colors every interaction, emotion, and internal narrative. In my practice, I work with neurodivergent individuals and couples to move past the shame of "not doing enough" and toward a life of sustainable functioning and relational safety.
For the Individual: Moving Beyond the Mask
Living with a neurodivergent brain in a neurotypical world often leads to a chronic state of burnout. Together, we address the invisible hurdles that standard productivity hacks ignore:
Rejection Sensitivity (RSD): Navigating the intense, often overwhelming emotional pain triggered by perceived criticism or rejection.
Demand Avoidance: Understanding the brain’s "threat response" to expectations and finding collaborative ways to move into action without the paralysis of shame.
Managing the "Overload": Developing strategies to prevent and recover from meltdowns or sensory overwhelm, honoring your nervous system’s unique limits.
For the Couple: Ending the "Parent-Child" Dynamic
ADHD can create a profound "relational gap" where one partner feels like a nag and the other feels constantly "less than." My work with couples centers on Systems Theory and Attachment, helping you:
Translate neurodivergent "language" so both partners feel seen and heard.
Dismantle the cycle of demand avoidance and reactive withdrawal.
Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis or have been "white-knuckling" it for years, I provide a space that is curious, courageous, and deeply affirming. We don't just "manage" your ADHD; we build a life and a relationship that actually fits your brain.

ADHD
Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with many clients who have ADHD or identify with ADHD-related challenges, particularly when it comes to emotional regulation, overwhelm, and difficulty following through.
Often, what looks like ADHD is also connected to nervous system dysregulation or early relational patterns, which can make focus, boundaries, and decision-making more difficult.
My approach integrates practical tools, structure, and nervous system awareness to help you better understand how your brain works and create strategies that actually support your day-to-day life.
My clients report rapid results with managing their ADHD symptoms as a result of the tools, solutions, and structures I provide, which dramatically reduces problematic behaviors like procrastination, poor focus and concentration, and avoidance/overwhelm.

ADHD
Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in working with ADHD in therapy and in psychological testing. There can be many nuances with how ADHD shows up in your life - and fortunately, with time and continued research, we as a society are gaining better understanding of these differences and the impacts ADHD can have. Using a neuro-affirming lens, we work to understand and befriend your wiring to help deepen self-understanding and self-compassion, and to develop strategies to support areas of difficulty. And in the case of late-diagnosed adolescents and adults (or for parents navigating a new ADHD diagnosis for their kids), a lot of our work involves seeing yourself (or your child) in a new lens and reframing messages you may have gathered from others about yourself with this new knowledge.

Tal Brafford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC-A
As a neurodivergent person, I understand the weight of masking and some of the many challenges with ADHD, while appreciating the nuances and the diversity with which it animates in each individual. I get so much joy out of helping people grow to accept themselves and live authentically. I do not have the credentials to diagnose ADHD. My work is focused primarily on self-discovery, acceptance, and exploring executive functioning support. Above all else, I don't want my neurodivergent clients to feel alone.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
While I am not a therapist, I deal with emotions and the realities they create everyday. The number one obstacle I encounter with clients with ADHD is shame. Coaching can be a powerful space to admit, examine, and expel that immobilizing emotion. The framework of life coaching is helpful for almost everyone. AND I have a toolkit in my back pocket proven effective and accessible in revealing the superpowers in ADHD and cultivating ease around the obstacles. This toolkit includes methods, tools, and experiments to improve time management, focus, interpersonal relationships, motivation, and life balance, as well as so much more. I am NOT offering therapy; our work together will not focus on the failings of the past or finding a mental diagnosis because I believe you are whole, resourceful and creative as you are, right now. Our work will be to find the tools that work for you to get the life you want.
