Danielle Keys at Headway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
ADHD is a complicated and often misunderstood diagnosis. Sometimes clients are missed in childhood and feel lost in adolescence or adulthood. ADHD can feel like a heavy weight as responsibilities increase with age. I assist teens and adults to find their strengths, set goals, and cope effectively with ADHD symptoms for a productive and healthy mind and body. We will build your ADHD coping toolbox to feel empowered.

Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist who works with adults living with ADHD.
I do not provide ADHD assessment or diagnosis, and I do not prescribe. What I offer is depth work on what it has been like to live in your particular mind: years of being called lazy or careless when you were trying hard, shame that accumulates around unfinished things, procrastination that is more about dread than about time, emotional intensity that arrives faster than you can meet it, and, for many people diagnosed late, grief about how long it took anyone to notice.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we take up the meaning that has grown around these difficulties rather than only the difficulties themselves. The self-criticism that follows a missed deadline carries an unconscious logic worth understanding. This work sits comfortably alongside medication, coaching, or skills-based support.
If ADHD has left you with a harsh story about yourself, I would be glad to talk.

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.

Dr Calvin Young
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LCPC
Because of the ubiquity of ADHD and related issues it is vry important that clinicians know and evaluate patients for ADHD. Many patients come to care not knowing that their behaviors and difficulties are due to ADHD, or worse they have been diagnosed and treated for the disorder when they do not have it, so I am extensive and multi-faceted in my assessment of ADHD

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
Working with adults with ADHD is a particular passion for Dr. Sypher and his team. We find that many folks living with ADHD have been told that medication is the only pathway for treatment, a belief that can be reinforced by therapy that does not target ADHD symptoms directly. Furthermore, many folks with ADHD carry lifelong unhelpful beliefs about themselves and their ability to effectively manage life and achieve their full potential. We use an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral approach for treating ADHD where we help clients learn to better plan, organize, problem-solve, challenge unhelpful thinking, and reduce procrastination. We have found that as folks become more skillful with executive functioning strategies, they often see reductions in stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms and increases in self-esteem and self-efficacy.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Living with ADHD can mean constantly battling your own mind. The self-criticism, the missed steps, the exhaustion of trying to function in a world that wasn't built for your brain, it can be so much. I have both personal and professional experience in this area and I specialize in helping clients with ADHD to build genuine self-acceptance and self-advocacy skills.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Your ADHD is unique to you. I'm here to support you in learning how your brain works so you can work with it, not against it, in order to mitigate some of the personal and relational challenges that often come with an ADHD diagnosis. I specialize in working with folks with a late diagnosis and working with couples around the adjustments and repair that often come with that.
