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.

We will build your ADHD coping toolbox to feel empowered.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Dysregulation in our lives is disruptive and limits us from our true potentials. Matters of planning, concentration, and focus can be improved through recognition of these challenges while employing a compassionate self-awareness that invites adjustments in our lives that is specific to our individual differences.

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.

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.

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.
