ADHD
Janet LeMoal

ADHD
Joseph W. LaFleur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, DWTF, SEP, C-PATP
Living with ADHD as an adult often means years of wondering why things that seem easy for others feel so hard for you. At District Counseling and Psychotherapy, we help clients understand how ADHD shows up in their daily lives—from focus and time management to emotional regulation and relationship patterns. Our approach combines practical strategies with deeper exploration of the shame and frustration that often accompany an ADHD diagnosis. We work with you to build systems that actually fit your brain, not force you into neurotypical frameworks that have never worked.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with many ADHD and AuDHD clients, and I understand that ADHD is not just about attention—it’s about overwhelm, time blindness, emotional intensity, burnout, shame, and struggling to meet expectations in a world that can feel unforgiving. In therapy, we focus on practical strategies, self-understanding, nervous system regulation, and reducing shame so you can build systems and a life that work for how your brain actually functions.

Marina Goldenberg
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
I have extensive professional and lived experience with ADHD. Professionally, I support clients, including those diagnosed in adulthood, who are coming to terms with reshaping their sense of self in a new light. In particular, working through executive dysfunction challenges and the impact of years of wondering "what's wrong with me that I just can't do things like everyone else", and the grief that can sometimes come with wondering how things might have been different if only you'd been seen and understood sooner. I work with clients to manage symptoms, address executive dysfunction and overwhelm, and navigate the impact of ADHD on personal relationships, family life and careers.

Barry Herbach
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help adults with ADHD who are smart, capable — and exhausted from trying to hold it all together.
Whether it’s chronic overwhelm, procrastination, emotional reactivity, or relationship stress, we work together to build strategies that actually fit how your brain works.
This isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about making life feel more doable, less chaotic, and a lot more like yours.

ADHD
Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
ADHD is so much more than trouble focusing. It can show up as chronic overwhelm, difficulty following through, emotional sensitivity, and the quiet frustration of knowing what you need to do but not being able to make yourself do it. We work with adults and teens who are tired of feeling like they're always behind, helping them understand how their brain actually works and build systems and strategies that fit their life, not someone else's.

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.

ADHD
Ren Lee
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with many neurodivergent clients, whether you are formally diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or exploring what it means to have ADHD. I am here to work with you to better understand how ADHD informs how you navigate the world, how to come up with tools and skills to navigate ADHD, and how it impacts your relationships, career, and functioning.
I am here to support you in exploring connections to yourself, your communities, and the world around you. My approach is rooted in liberation, relational, and psychodynamic work through an anti-oppressive lens, and includes modalities such as somatics, narrative therapy, and mindfulness. I am passionate about working with intersectional identities of race, gender, sexuality, and neurodivergence and I find it incredibly fulfilling to continuously build relationships through empathy, curiosity, and compassion.

ADHD
Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
While I am not a therapist, I deal with emotions and the realities they create everyday. The number one obstacle I encounter with clients with ADHD is shame. Coaching can be a powerful space to admit, examine, and expel that immobilizing emotion. The framework of life coaching is helpful for almost everyone. AND I have a toolkit in my back pocket proven effective and accessible in revealing the superpowers in ADHD and cultivating ease around the obstacles. This toolkit includes methods, tools, and experiments to improve time management, focus, interpersonal relationships, motivation, and life balance, as well as so much more. I am NOT offering therapy; our work together will not focus on the failings of the past or finding a mental diagnosis because I believe you are whole, resourceful and creative as you are, right now. Our work will be to find the tools that work for you to get the life you want.
