Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I believe to effectively treat ADHD you have to have ADHD. I don't treat ADHD by trying to make you act or seem like someone you're not. I treat ADHD by helping you develop skills, habits, and support for whatever aspects of ADHD you would like to improve.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP)
We all know kids who can’t sit still, who never seem to listen, who blurt out inappropriate comments, or don’t follow instructions no matter how clearly you present them.
While it’s normal for kids to forget their homework, daydream during class or act without thinking, inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity are also signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. ADHD makes it difficult for a person to inhibit their spontaneous responses, including everything from movement to speech to assertiveness.
Some children with ADHD may be constantly in-motion, bouncing off the walls and disrupting others around them. Other children with ADHD may sit quietly, with their attention miles away.
There are three primary characteristics of ADHD: Inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity, though all three aren’t always prominent in one child. Whether or not your child’s symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity are due to ADHD, they can cause problems if left untreated. Children who can’t focus or control themselves or get into trouble at school often find it hard to make friends. These frustrations can later lead to low self-esteem as well as friction for the whole family.
Treatment can make a dramatic difference in your child’s symptoms. With the right support, your child can get on track for success in all areas of life.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
In the treatment of ADHD, I specialize in combining psychotherapy and coaching techniques to help you understand and conquer common challenges to productivity in ADHD. Through this work, I help my clients harness the creative power that is inherent in those with ADHD, to help them see their mind as an asset, rather than the impediment many of them all too often believe it to be.

Lauren Rance
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist (PsyD, LP)
I take a strengths-based approach and oftentimes reflect how some symptoms of ADHD can serve individuals (i.e., creativity, hyperfocus on tasks you like). We also explore how ADHD symptoms are getting in the way, whether it is motivation difficulties, trouble getting started on tasks, difficulty creating/following a routine or schedule, frequent distraction, communication difficulties, or difficulties managing strong emotions. I then offer executive skills coaching to help build skills in these areas.
