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.

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.

Online in Bakersfield, CA California
Bakersfield sits at the southern end of California's San Joaquin Valley and is shaped by its oil industry and agricultural economy — two sectors with distinct occupational cultures that affect how residents approach mental health and help-seeking. The city has a large and long-established Hispanic community, and bilingual Spanish-English therapists serve a critical access role for families where language barriers limit engagement with mainstream mental health services. Kern Medical provides institutional mental health resources alongside a relatively sparse private practice community — Bakersfield has fewer therapists per capita than comparable California cities, making telehealth an important access route. The city's conservative political culture and strong evangelical community mean faith-integrated approaches to therapy are in consistent demand.
