Often, I find those with ADHD may experience stress and anxiety related to their life experiences and I help with building coping skills and strategies to use when faced with those situations.

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.

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

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.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
Working with adults with ADHD is a particular passion for Dr. Sypher and his team. We find that many folks living with ADHD have been told that medication is the only pathway for treatment, a belief that can be reinforced by therapy that does not target ADHD symptoms directly. Furthermore, many folks with ADHD carry lifelong unhelpful beliefs about themselves and their ability to effectively manage life and achieve their full potential. We use an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral approach for treating ADHD where we help clients learn to better plan, organize, problem-solve, challenge unhelpful thinking, and reduce procrastination. We have found that as folks become more skillful with executive functioning strategies, they often see reductions in stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms and increases in self-esteem and self-efficacy.
