Ryan Muldoon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Navigating an ADHD brain can feel like walking through a cluttered room. While moving from one thought to the next you may bump into clutter along the way. Although you may be able to maneuver around some of them, an overwhelming amount of clutter can bring you to a halt. This is how I used to describe my own ADHD, until I discovered various tricks, tools, and creative hacks that I can now share with you.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have personal and lived experience with ADHD, including parenting a child with ADHD. As ADHD is a common diagnosis in writers and other creative brained-people, this is a diagnosis I often work with in the room. I am able to validate the struggles of living with ADHD, while also understanding the many gifts of an ADHD brain.

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.

Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
I work with adults with ADHD who feel overwhelmed by mental clutter, procrastination, time blindness, and emotional reactivity, often alongside anxiety and self-criticism. Therapy focuses on stabilization first, building realistic executive-function systems that fit your life, and then addressing deeper patterns of shame, burnout, and overcompensation.

Pasadena is home to Caltech and the Huntington Hospital, and the city's intellectual, academic culture creates demand for therapists experienced in working with high-achievers navigating perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological demands of elite academic and scientific environments. The city's established residential character and proximity to Los Angeles give it a distinct therapy landscape — less entertainment-focused than West Hollywood, more oriented toward depth work, relationships, and long-term growth. Pasadena also has a significant older adult population, with therapists specializing in aging, life review, and elder family dynamics well represented. Many practices serve clients drawn from across the San Gabriel Valley and Foothill communities.
