Eric Tivers (ADHD reWired)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
Hi, I’m Eric Tivers, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider based in Illinois. I’m also AuDHD, queer, and deeply committed to helping other neurodivergent adults build lives that feel more grounded, authentic, and sustainable.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things but still can’t seem to keep up, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. I work with ADHDers, autistic adults, and other neurodivergent humans who are navigating overwhelm, burnout, emotional regulation, and self-acceptance. My style is down-to-earth, compassionate, and direct. I blend therapy, coaching, and practical strategies that help you turn insight into real change.
I’m also sex-positive, kink-aware, and LGBTQ+ affirming. Many of my clients are exploring identity, communication, or relationships in ways that don’t fit neatly into a box — and that’s exactly where we can do our best work. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as your full self, without shame or judgment.
Outside of therapy, I host the ADHD reWired podcast and lead intensive coaching and accountability groups for adults with ADHD — communities that have helped hundreds of people connect, grow, and thrive.
Whether you’re seeking therapy for ADHD, autism, trauma, or simply wanting to feel more at ease in your own skin, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s find a way to make life work with your brain, not against it.

Emem Itiat
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
I believe in the power of healing through promoting self-awareness, autonomy and empowerment, and also in people's strength to move towards change. Though suffering is a part of life, something that all humans share, working to manifest helpful and sustainable coping mechanisms, and skills that will work to serve you long term makes a difference in the quality of life a person experiences. I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) and humanist framework, observing individuals as a whole, and when it comes to the war against body discrimination and terrorism, I believe in working to enhance radical acceptance through promoting self-contentment, end weight discrimination by identifying the underlying and overlying systems of oppression, dismantling those systems, and working against the cultural obsession with diet culture, and the pursuit of thinness and perfection. I believe in concepts such as radical self-love, self-trust, self-awareness, radical-acceptance, freedom, agency, self-compassion, and self-actualization to help guide individuals to fulfill their potential and maximize their wellbeing.

Samire Qosaj
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed practicing counselor
I strive to create a space where you can show up as your full self whether you feel loud, quiet, curious, or uncertain. If you are an immigrant, a first-generation American, or a neurodivergent individual navigating the intersections of culture, faith, and identity, you are not alone. As a first-generation Muslim American, with English as my second language, I have personally experienced many of these layered identities and continue to reflect on them in my own journey. I understand how complex, challenging, and meaningful this process can be.

Margaret Shouse
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
It is really easy to let all the negative thoughts consume you and make you feel like there is no way out. It can feel overwhelming or even debilitating to feel as though you are not able to get out of a negative spiral and somehow find joy and contentment in life. Trust me, I have been there. This is why in our sessions I will always bring warmth, compassion, and sometimes a touch of humor to make it feel more comfortable and relaxed. Seeking out therapy takes a lot of courage and awareness of your struggles and that will never go unnoticed. I am here to meet you where you are at in this moment and to work together to make your life how you want it to be.
