Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I believe to effectively treat ADHD you have to have ADHD. I don't treat ADHD by trying to make you act or seem like someone you're not. I treat ADHD by helping you develop skills, habits, and support for whatever aspects of ADHD you would like to improve.

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
ADHD is about much more than attention. Many adults struggle with executive functioning, emotional regulation, perfectionism, burnout, and years of wondering why everyday tasks seem harder than they do for others. I provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy that helps you better understand your brain, reduce shame, and build strategies that fit your life rather than trying to fit yourself into someone else's expectations.

Denise Bike
Psychologist, PhD
Dr. Bike understands the unique challenges faced by high-achieving women with ADHD. You’re smart, and your creativity knows no bounds. But when the demands of work, relationships, and your own expectations pile up—it can feel impossible to keep going. You may often find yourself overwhelmed, doubting your worth, and constantly questioning if you’re doing enough. Let's design an intensive for you that can support your journey to find peace amidst the chaos, as you learn to love all of who you are.

RGV Cross Over Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, M. Ed., LPC (AL), LPC (TX)
ADHD in Children, Adolescents, and Adults
As a school guidance counselor from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade, I collaborated with teachers and parents to provide interventions and to work with students to help them and guide them to build skills that provided a breakthrough, with the accommodations, from ADHD. As we venture through life, different stages and seasons might increase ADHD. This is a time to reach out and to take time to set new goals that might eliminate or reduce life stressors.

Birmingham carries one of the most significant civil rights legacies of any American city — the site of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing and pivotal moments in the fight for racial justice — and this history creates a distinctive context in which racial identity, historical trauma, and community resilience are active themes in local therapy culture. The city is home to UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham), one of the country's premier academic medical centers, which anchors significant mental health research, training, and clinical infrastructure. Birmingham's African American community — which comprises a majority of the city's population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. The broader Birmingham metro's mix of healthcare, finance, and manufacturing industries creates diverse occupational therapy demand across a metropolitan area larger than the city itself.
