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.

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.

Anita Faircloth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
ADHD treatment isn't just about knowing what to do. It's about understanding what gets in the way of being able to do it. Together, we'll explore how ADHD is impacting your daily life, identify the barriers that get in the way of doing what you want and need to do, and develop and practice strategies to address them. Depending on your individual needs , we may explore how thoughts, emotions, nervous system activation, and executive functioning interact and contribute to the challenges you are experiencing. We may also focus on the practical aspects of ADHD, such organization, forgetfulness, time management, getting started on tasks, or managing intense feelings and overwhelm. The specific challenges-and what is getting in the way of addressing them-can vary from person to person. Please reach out for a free consultation to talk about how I may be able to help.

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
ADHD is about much more than attention. Many adults struggle with executive functioning, emotional regulation, perfectionism, burnout, and years of wondering why everyday tasks seem harder than they do for others. I provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy that helps you better understand your brain, reduce shame, and build strategies that fit your life rather than trying to fit yourself into someone else's expectations.

Durham is home to Duke University and Duke University Medical Center, one of the leading psychiatric research and treatment centers in the country — an institution that deeply shapes the quality and sophistication of the local therapy community. The Research Triangle's concentration of academics, researchers, and healthcare professionals creates demand for therapists with intellectual depth and experience with high-achievement anxiety, identity work, and the stresses of competitive knowledge-economy careers. Durham also has a vibrant Black community with deep historical roots, and therapists offering culturally affirming care, racial identity work, and intergenerational trauma support are well represented. The city's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, and many practitioners integrate social-justice-informed approaches across their work.
