ADHD
Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
ADHD is about much more than attention. Many adults struggle with executive functioning, emotional regulation, perfectionism, burnout, and years of wondering why everyday tasks seem harder than they do for others. I provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy that helps you better understand your brain, reduce shame, and build strategies that fit your life rather than trying to fit yourself into someone else's expectations.

ADHD
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many of the people I work with are highly capable adults and students who either have an ADHD diagnosis or strongly relate to ADHD traits. On the outside, you may be described as bright, caring, or high achieving. On the inside, it can feel very different: difficulty focusing, time blindness, perfectionism, starting but not finishing tasks, or feeling scattered even when you care deeply. You might be doing well in school or work, but only by pushing yourself much harder than other people seem to need to.
Many people tell me it feels like they have spent their whole life doing extra work on everything, not because they are not smart, but because of ADHD. There can be real grief in seeing how misunderstood you have been by yourself and by the systems around you, and a deep tiredness from carrying so much for so long.
ADHD can also shape relationships. You may worry about disappointing people, missing cues, or being “too much” or “not enough,” even in close connections. Many people care deeply while feeling misunderstood, or feel confused and frustrated about how attention, emotion, or follow through show up with partners, friends, or family.
In our work, we look at ADHD through a trauma‑informed, nervous‑system‑aware lens. We explore how your brain and body naturally work, how past experiences and expectations have shaped your story, and what actually supports your attention instead of fighting against it. This can include patterns like hyperfocus, where you can drop deeply into what interests you while struggling with tasks that feel boring or overwhelming. I also make room for the gifts that can come with ADHD: creativity, sensitivity, and the capacity to care deeply.
The focus is on softening self‑criticism, honoring both the grief and the strengths, and finding ways to navigate school, work, relationships, and daily life in a way that fits how you are wired. Working with ADHD is central to my practice, and I bring a great deal of respect and care to this work.

ADHD
Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
ADHD can impact focus, organization, motivation, and follow-through—often leading to frustration, stress, or feeling misunderstood. It can affect school, relationships, and everyday routines. I help teens and young adults develop practical strategies to manage attention, build structure, and work with their strengths. The goal is to feel more in control, confident, and capable in both academic and personal life.
