ADHD
Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Living with ADHD is a unique challenge that often goes undiagnosed for years. While medication is frequently the primary treatment, therapy offers essential support that pills can’t provide.
While much of a counselor's work involves building structure and teaching coping skills, the therapeutic process goes much deeper. A therapist helps you navigate the emotional side of ADHD—like managing reactive grief, harnessing hyper-focus, and healing from a past where undiagnosed symptoms may have led to setbacks or paths you're now ready to change.

ADHD
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

ADHD
Ariana Marciniak
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA
I work with folks with ADHD to understand and embrace their unique brains. Living with ADHD—especially as a person of color, a queer person, or someone with trauma—can bring layers of shame, frustration, and self-doubt. I help clients shift from survival mode to a place of self-trust and empowerment, working with their brains instead of against them. Together, we’ll explore strategies that actually fit you—whether that’s unlearning internalized ableism, creating systems that align with your energy, or reframing the way you see yourself.

Danielle Keys at Headway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
ADHD is a complicated and often misunderstood diagnosis. Sometimes clients are missed in childhood and feel lost in adolescence or adulthood. ADHD can feel like a heavy weight as responsibilities increase with age. I assist teens and adults to find their strengths, set goals, and cope effectively with ADHD symptoms for a productive and healthy mind and body. We will build your ADHD coping toolbox to feel empowered.

ADHD
Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I was diagnosed with ADHD AFTER I was married AND working in the therapeutic field. I was shocked to realize that what I had thought was anxiety was actually internalized ADHD. Starting a stimulant medication gave me new clarity and a sense of focus I had never experienced before. I am now able to implement mindful strategies such as deep breathing, times of silence and stillness, yoga, positive affirmations and moving and exercising my body which all help to restore my mind/body connection and allow me to be fully present in the HERE and NOW. I am also aware of how my physical environment and daily structure and routine greatly impact me and am able to intentionally cultivate those to my greatest benefit. It has also helped tremendously in my understanding of my relationship with my partner. I will be excited to share that experience and knowledge with you as an adult with ADHD and/or as a parent raising a child with ADHD.

ADHD
Rachel Honaker, Depth Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I have worked with neurodivergent people since the beginning of my career. Therapy can be a great place to not only work on strategies, structure, and outside accountability, it is also a place we can explore the feelings and stories that surround our experience of ADHD. In my experience, personally and clinically, it comes with baggage. Not because there is anything wrong with us, but the systems our world operate on are not made for people whose brains are built differently. This can be a real challenge practically and emotionally. Together we can work on concrete skills and goals, while also making space for ADHD's impact on life, relationships, and identity.

ADHD
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Dysregulation in our lives is disruptive and limits us from our true potentials. Matters of planning, concentration, and focus can be improved through recognition of these challenges while employing a compassionate self-awareness that invites adjustments in our lives that is specific to our individual differences.
