Mill Valley, California therapist: Chris Doorley, marriage and family therapist
ADHD

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.

Pasadena, California therapist: Mona Saba Valeriano, licensed clinical social worker
ADHD

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.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Mia Turner, therapist
ADHD

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.

Monterey, California therapist: Kayzim Suárez-Reyes, psychologist
ADHD

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes

Psychologist, PhD
With extensive knowledge and experience in ADHD, I work with you to move beyond the stereotypes and embrace a neurodiversity-affirming perspective. I understand that living with ADHD involves unique challenges such as the constant stress and procrastination to the intense periods of hyperfocus. Most importantly, I offer non-judgemental guidance because I've also struggled and wasn't diagnosed until I was in my PhD program! I'm dedicated to helping you transform your best intentions into consistent, effective action and build a life that truly supports your naturally wired brain! I can also help with diagnostic clarification via a formalized assessment.
