Chris Doorley
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
I've worked with a large number of individuals with ADHD or a number of its symptoms (without a medical diagnosis), and have found a few things that help manage those. The first, organizational supports, are time management and organizational practices. Next, we move onto asking for help— knowing when to push through oneself, or to ask for support. Third, we'll do self-compassion work to be able to forgive yourself when things feel challenging. Last, how does ADHD affect relationships? Some people are familiar with that question, while others haven't asked it yet.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Neurodiversity-affirming ADHD therapy and adult ADHD evaluations grounded in the understanding that ADHD is not simply a collection of symptoms, but a unique way of experiencing, processing, attending to, and engaging with the world. My work supports teens and adults navigating executive functioning differences, emotional intensity, rejection sensitivity, masking, burnout, perfectionism, demand avoidance, nervous system overwhelm, and the cumulative impact of years spent feeling misunderstood, "too much," "not enough," inconsistent, lazy, unmotivated, or perpetually behind despite working incredibly hard.
ADHD often extends far beyond attention alone. It can shape relationships, self-esteem, sensory experiences, motivation, emotional regulation, time perception, energy management, organization, follow-through, identity, and the ways we connect with our interests, passions, and creativity. It can also influence how the nervous system responds to expectations, demands, transitions, uncertainty, criticism, and chronic stress.
This work explores the intersections of neurodivergence, trauma, culture, giftedness, disability, family systems, identity, and internalized ableist narratives that may have shaped your relationship with yourself. Particular attention is given to the ways masking, overcompensation, perfectionism, people-pleasing, chronic self-monitoring, and overachievement can develop as adaptive responses within environments that may not have recognized, supported, or accommodated neurodivergent needs.
Rather than focusing solely on productivity, performance, or behavioral change, therapy centers self-understanding, nervous system regulation, self-trust, self-compassion, and creating sustainable ways of living that honor how your brain and body naturally work. Depending on your goals, our work may incorporate EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, parts work, executive functioning support, expressive arts, neuropsychotherapy, and practical strategies that build upon strengths rather than attempting to force neurotypical standards.
My work is informed by both professional expertise and lived understanding of neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, culture, and systemic oppression, I recognize that ADHD often presents differently than dominant stereotypes suggest. My practice is especially attuned to high-masking, high-achieving, gifted, AFAB, BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, creative, spiritually-oriented, and otherwise frequently overlooked individuals whose experiences may have been missed, misunderstood, minimized, or misdiagnosed.
I also provide comprehensive adult ADHD evaluations through a culturally responsive, neurodivergent-affirming assessment process designed to recognize nuanced and complex presentations. Evaluations move beyond checklists alone and include an in-depth exploration of developmental history, lived experience, executive functioning, sensory patterns, masking, strengths, challenges, identity, and functional impacts, resulting in a thorough affirming report with individualized recommendations and resources.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Adult ADHD can go undiagnosed for years, and can lead to feeling disorganized, unproductive and self-critical. If you feel held back by forgetfulness, interpersonal conflict, overcommitment, taking on too many things at once and spreading yourself too thin, there is effective help available. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old patterns and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Richmond is a Contra Costa Bay Area city with a history defined by its role as a major World War II shipbuilding hub and by the environmental and community health impacts of the Chevron oil refinery, which has operated there for over a century and whose explosions and toxic releases—most notably in 2012—have created a legacy of environmental trauma and justified community distrust of institutions that shapes how healthcare and mental health services are received. The city has a predominantly Black and Latino population that has faced significant economic challenges, high crime rates in some areas, and persistent underinvestment, creating a mental health landscape marked by community resilience alongside significant unmet need. Contra Costa Health Services provides mental health services, and community health organizations supplement public resources. Common therapy concerns include environmental and community trauma, racial identity and systemic stress, economic anxiety, and the particular challenges of building mental health trust in a community that has experienced institutional harm.
