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.

Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
ADHD isn’t a lack of discipline—it’s a different way your brain processes attention, motivation, and follow-through. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, scattered, or frustrated with themselves for not being able to “just do the thing.” In our work together, we focus on building systems and strategies that actually fit your brain, while also addressing the shame, burnout, and self-doubt that often come with ADHD.
