Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I help patients with ADHD by utilizing a comprehensive and personalized approach that addresses their unique needs and challenges. I start with thorough assessments to accurately diagnose ADHD and provide education to help patients and their families understand the condition. Behavioral interventions and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are employed to develop effective coping strategies, improve time management, and address negative thought patterns. Mindfulness practices are taught to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. I also offer coaching to build specific skills, create structured routines, and explore medication options in collaboration with medical professionals. Family involvement is encouraged to create a supportive environment, and a strength-based approach is used to build confidence and motivation. Ongoing support and follow-up ensure continuous progress and adjustment of therapeutic strategies. This comprehensive approach aims to empower patients with ADHD to manage their symptoms effectively, enhance their strengths, and lead fulfilling lives.

Shawna Stillwell

Living with ADHD can mean constantly battling your own mind. The self-criticism, the missed steps, the exhaustion of trying to function in a world that wasn't built for your brain, it can be so much. I have both personal and professional experience in this area and I specialize in helping clients with ADHD to build genuine self-acceptance and self-advocacy skills.

Dr Calvin Young
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LCPC
Because of the ubiquity of ADHD and related issues it is vry important that clinicians know and evaluate patients for ADHD. Many patients come to care not knowing that their behaviors and difficulties are due to ADHD, or worse they have been diagnosed and treated for the disorder when they do not have it, so I am extensive and multi-faceted in my assessment of ADHD

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Your ADHD is unique to you. I'm here to support you in learning how your brain works so you can work with it, not against it, in order to mitigate some of the personal and relational challenges that often come with an ADHD diagnosis. I specialize in working with folks with a late diagnosis and working with couples around the adjustments and repair that often come with that.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
Working with adults with ADHD is a particular passion for Dr. Sypher and his team. We find that many folks living with ADHD have been told that medication is the only pathway for treatment, a belief that can be reinforced by therapy that does not target ADHD symptoms directly. Furthermore, many folks with ADHD carry lifelong unhelpful beliefs about themselves and their ability to effectively manage life and achieve their full potential. We use an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral approach for treating ADHD where we help clients learn to better plan, organize, problem-solve, challenge unhelpful thinking, and reduce procrastination. We have found that as folks become more skillful with executive functioning strategies, they often see reductions in stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms and increases in self-esteem and self-efficacy.

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
We have certification in spectrum based work, but more importantly we have experience with working with individuals with ADHD and we recognize different forms of ADHD require different types of care. For instance, ADHD from mold and toxin exposure may require functional support along with executive functioning support; whereas ADHD born from trauma may require a more parts based approach or ADHD from epigenetic origins may benefit from functional, integrative and self esteem support with an intersectional lens. These are just some examples of different ways to approach and offer support and care. We also witness some neurodiversity could be an adaptive response to dysfunctional oppressive systems. We may coordinate care with colleagues who offer that kind of support to clients who identify as neurodiverse and POC/GM and who would like that adaptation affirmed for the innate wisdom it carries in navigating systems, while also offering care for the injury or impact from navigating these systems and the implicit demands of masking within them. We also credit here the work of dear colleague Erin Trent-Johnson of Black Mama Body.
