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.

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence are not indications that something is wrong, but reflect differences in how the brain processes and responds to the world. These differences can bring both strengths and challenges in areas like focus, organization, and emotional regulation. Together, we explore your patterns, reduce self-criticism, and develop approaches that support how you naturally think and function.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have a great understanding of how ADHD can interfere and impede on one's day to day living and functioning if proper tools and skills are not adopted. I also appreciate that some of the features of ADHD can be a huge strength, if not a super power, if channeled properly. I know how to adjust my talking speed as needed to keep individuals with ADHD engaged, interested, and focused within sessions.

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.
