Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
ADHD can affect every aspect of life, from academics and work, to relationship with family and friends, to your own experience of emotions. My perspective is grounded in an awareness of the interplay of culture and context in the experience of ADHD. I see clients for whom ADHD is their primary reason for coming to therapy, as well as those who are coming in for other reasons but want to see someone who can recognize how ADHD shapes their experiences. In addition to therapy, I offer diagnostic assessments for ADHD as well as executive functioning coaching, all of which can be integrated or stand-alone services.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
If I had to support someone with ADHD, my focus would be on understanding how their symptoms impact their self-esteem, stress levels, and overall satisfaction with life. We'd look at how ADHD influences their relationships, work, and stress management. Together, we'd come up with strategies to handle ADHD symptoms better, get more organized, and communicate more effectively with others.

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.

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.
