ADHD

I have extensive training in assessing and treating ADHD. This included a year-long ADHD clinic I attended at Tufts Medical Center, which focused on reviewing the most up-to-date research, medical treatment options, and assessing clients via treatment team interviews.

ADHD
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
As a school psychologist for 8 years in my early career, I helped parents and teachers to work more effectively with children and adolescents. When I work directly with the ADHD individual I help them to calm their body, quiet their brain, increase their attention span, decrease distractibility and improve time and organizational management skills. The methods work well with adults whose ADHD is negatively impacting their relationships, work or home life.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
ADHD is often misunderstood—especially in adults, and especially in people who have spent years masking, overcompensating, or being mislabeled. Many of our clients come in feeling burnt out, scattered, or frustrated, not because they’re “failing,” but because they’ve been trying to function in systems that weren’t built for how their brains work. At Nour Counseling, we take ADHD seriously—and we look at the full picture, including how culture, expectations, and identity shape the way ADHD shows up and gets interpreted.
We offer comprehensive ADHD assessments that go beyond a checklist. Our evaluations include a detailed report with clear findings and individualized recommendations, including accommodations when appropriate. In therapy, we work actively with you to understand your specific patterns—executive functioning, time agnosia, emotional regulation, task initiation—and build strategies that actually fit your life. This might look like restructuring systems, unlearning internalized narratives, setting realistic expectations, and creating supports that reduce overwhelm. Our goal isn’t to force you into someone else’s mold—it’s to help you understand how your brain works and move through the world with more clarity, support, and self-trust.

ADHD
Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
ADHD isn’t about laziness or lack of motivation—it’s about how your brain is wired. I specialize in helping individuals with ADHD better understand their patterns, manage overwhelm, and build systems that actually work for their life. Together, we focus on practical strategies for improving focus, organization, emotional regulation, and follow-through, while also addressing the frustration and self-criticism that often come with ADHD. My goal is to help you work with your brain, not against it, so you can feel more confident, capable, and in control.

Cary is one of the most affluent suburbs in the Research Triangle, home to a high concentration of technology and pharmaceutical workers drawn by employers like SAS Institute and the broader Research Triangle Park economy, and the city's mental health landscape is shaped by the particular stresses of high-achievement professional culture and a large transplant population navigating relocation. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, perfectionism, work-life balance, relationship difficulties, and the identity challenges of building a life in a community where many residents are far from extended family and long-term social networks. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Cary, and the proximity to Raleigh's larger market gives residents access to a wide range of specialties and modalities. The city's highly educated and professionally successful population tends toward an open and pragmatic attitude toward therapy.
