I have additional training and lived experience with ADHD. I love supporting ADHDers with better understanding, accepting (and even embracing) their ADHD brain and developing systems to support executive functioning challenges.

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.

Lisa McNelley Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
As a therapist and mother/wife/sister/aunt who support both clients and family who move through the world with ADHD, I have a deep appreciation for the strengths and challenges of ADHD. We are all on the spectrum. That said, ADHD can make life more difficult. I work with teens 16+ and adults with ADHD explore how it helps and hinders the quality of their lives.
My own journey supporting my son through the medical and school systems, as well as experience helping teens with ADHD in school-based counseling during my training and adults in private practice, has provided me with a deeper understanding of how ADHD shows up. it has also shown me how essential it is to collaborate with my clients to identify strategies and tools that help them navigate their challenges as well as play off their strengths.

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.
