Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
My experience with ADHD is not just academic, it's also personal. I have ADHD. ADHD, like autism, is only a "disorder" in the context of our culture. ADHD is a brain-based condition. That means ADHD brains are structured slightly differently and function slightly differently. People with ADHD appear "disordered" when measured by neurotypical standards. I view my role as helping you to understand how your brain works (as opposed to a neurotypical brain) and to help you harness your ADHD strengths. I will help you develop strategies for addressing challenges that your ADHD creates in your life.

Melanie Bettes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, Coach
ADHD. While it's uniquely presented in everyone, there are still commonalities. The challenge is usually to figure out how to work with YOUR presentation, and not apply a universal approach to each person. It's as unique as you are, and I strive to approach your challenges the same way. I myself have ADHD. I learn through education and study, as well as from people in my circle who have ADHD....and from YOU! I love when we find an approach or tips that work for YOU. When working with me, we find what works for YOU.

Lauren Rance
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist (PsyD, LP)
I take a strengths-based approach and oftentimes reflect how some symptoms of ADHD can serve individuals (i.e., creativity, hyperfocus on tasks you like). We also explore how ADHD symptoms are getting in the way, whether it is motivation difficulties, trouble getting started on tasks, difficulty creating/following a routine or schedule, frequent distraction, communication difficulties, or difficulties managing strong emotions. I then offer executive skills coaching to help build skills in these areas.

Dr. Kahina Beasley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
ADHD can profoundly influence various aspects of life, notably in academic and professional settings, where focus and concentration are paramount. Achieving the necessary accommodations in these areas often requires a formal evaluation by a psychologist. If ADHD symptoms are hindering your ability to perform at your best, I am here to assist. Through a detailed assessment, I can provide the essential documentation required for accommodations, such as additional time for tests and assignments or access to a more conducive testing environment. This step is essential in leveling the playing field, ensuring that you have the support and resources needed to excel despite the challenges posed by ADHD.
