ADHD
Bruce Clark
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Living with ADHD can feel frustrating and overwhelming. Maybe you have racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, and constant self-criticism which makes daily life feel harder than it needs to be. I offer ADHD testing for adults seeking clarity, as well as therapy to help manage attention, motivation, and emotional regulation. Together, we’ll build understanding and strategies that actually work for you.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Some studies suggest that twice as many marriages touched by ADHD end in divorce. You might be surprised by that- the common understanding of ADHD is that it’s mainly diagnosed in energetic grade school boys. In fact, many very intelligent adults aren’t diagnosed because their resourcefulness has helped them learn how to cope, but they are barely hanging on by a thread. And this precariousness shows up most clearly in their marriage. Here are some signs your partner might have ADHD (and why you might feel perpetually annoyed at them):
They leave their stuff everywhere.
They become so engrossed in something that they lose track of time, sometimes for hours, and don’t hear you when you call their name.
They forget to call.
You feel like when you are out of their sight you are out of their mind completely.
It seems like they have trouble attending to you at all when they’re attending to their own needs.
They forget where their keys are.
They have trouble with ‘adulting’ (showering regularly, making dinner, doing dishes, etc.)
You often feel more like their parent than their partner.
They’re sensitive to criticism that these behaviors upset you.
The list goes on and on. Couples touched by ADHD often need an assessment, couples counseling and sometimes individual therapy. You can get through this together- know you are not alone in this struggle and we can help you turn around these trends.

ADHD
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.

ADHD
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many of the people I work with are highly capable adults and students who either have an ADHD diagnosis or strongly relate to ADHD traits. On the outside, you may be described as bright, caring, or high achieving. On the inside, it can feel very different: difficulty focusing, time blindness, perfectionism, starting but not finishing tasks, or feeling scattered even when you care deeply. You might be doing well in school or work, but only by pushing yourself much harder than other people seem to need to.
Many people tell me it feels like they have spent their whole life doing extra work on everything, not because they are not smart, but because of ADHD. There can be real grief in seeing how misunderstood you have been by yourself and by the systems around you, and a deep tiredness from carrying so much for so long.
ADHD can also shape relationships. You may worry about disappointing people, missing cues, or being “too much” or “not enough,” even in close connections. Many people care deeply while feeling misunderstood, or feel confused and frustrated about how attention, emotion, or follow through show up with partners, friends, or family.
In our work, we look at ADHD through a trauma‑informed, nervous‑system‑aware lens. We explore how your brain and body naturally work, how past experiences and expectations have shaped your story, and what actually supports your attention instead of fighting against it. This can include patterns like hyperfocus, where you can drop deeply into what interests you while struggling with tasks that feel boring or overwhelming. I also make room for the gifts that can come with ADHD: creativity, sensitivity, and the capacity to care deeply.
The focus is on softening self‑criticism, honoring both the grief and the strengths, and finding ways to navigate school, work, relationships, and daily life in a way that fits how you are wired. Working with ADHD is central to my practice, and I bring a great deal of respect and care to this work.
