Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

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.

Eric Tivers (ADHD reWired)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
ADHD has been at the center of both my personal and professional life. I was diagnosed at 19, and that moment changed everything — finally having language for how my brain worked felt like turning on a light I didn’t know was off. It also set me on the path to helping others with ADHD find clarity, structure, and self-acceptance.
When I first started my private practice in 2007, my focus was on working with both kids and adults with ADHD and autism. Over time, though — especially around 2014, when I launched ADHD reWired — I began focusing almost exclusively on adults with ADHD. My approach combines therapy, coaching, and accountability to help people move from self-blame and shame to self-understanding.
I take a neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed approach that centers compassion, emotional regulation, and practical strategies for real life. Through both individual therapy and my coaching programs, I’ve helped over 1,200 adults with ADHD learn how to plan, prioritize, and follow through — not by forcing themselves into someone else’s system, but by building one that fits their brain and their life.

Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
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.

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.
