ADHD
Benjamin Smalley, TherapyKC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As someone who personally understands ADHD, I know it’s more than just difficulty focusing. It can affect motivation, follow-through, emotional regulation, and self-trust. Many clients come in feeling frustrated with themselves or stuck in cycles of starting and stopping. Together, we work to understand how your brain actually operates and develop practical, realistic ways to build momentum, reduce overwhelm, and follow through without constant self-criticism.

ADHD
Tab Shamsi
Psychologist, PsyD, ABPP
I specialize in working with adults experiencing ADHD and executive dysfunction, whether or not they meet formal diagnostic criteria. Over the course of my career, I have supported more than 500 clients struggling with focus, procrastination, emotional regulation, organization, and follow-through, particularly in high-pressure academic and professional environments. Many are intelligent and driven yet feel frustrated by inconsistency or self-criticism despite clear strengths. Our work is structured and practical, developing personalized systems that support attention and execution while also addressing the emotional patterns, perfectionism, anxiety, and relationship strain that often accompany executive challenges. The goal is not simply managing symptoms, but building reliable performance, stronger self-trust, and sustainable success in demanding settings.

Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
