Not everyone’s brain works the same way. Some folks have a bigger emotional reaction to a fight and a slower return to baseline. Some people struggle with focus and concentration. Some people find they can be hyperfocused on a task to the detriment of their job, or might feel very overwhelmed in a crowd. For a lot of our patients, being diagnosed with is the first difficult but necessary step to change, whether it’s finding out you have ADHD, PTSD, a personality disorder or if you’re on the Autism spectrum. Learning about how your brain works can help you become more adaptive, so that you can better apply your strengths and avoid pitfalls. Our therapists love working with brains of all varieties, including yours.

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.

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.

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.
