Emily Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
Navigating the Brilliance and the Burnout
ADHD is rarely just about "focus"—it is a complex, lived experience that colors every interaction, emotion, and internal narrative. In my practice, I work with neurodivergent individuals and couples to move past the shame of "not doing enough" and toward a life of sustainable functioning and relational safety.
For the Individual: Moving Beyond the Mask
Living with a neurodivergent brain in a neurotypical world often leads to a chronic state of burnout. Together, we address the invisible hurdles that standard productivity hacks ignore:
Rejection Sensitivity (RSD): Navigating the intense, often overwhelming emotional pain triggered by perceived criticism or rejection.
Demand Avoidance: Understanding the brain’s "threat response" to expectations and finding collaborative ways to move into action without the paralysis of shame.
Managing the "Overload": Developing strategies to prevent and recover from meltdowns or sensory overwhelm, honoring your nervous system’s unique limits.
For the Couple: Ending the "Parent-Child" Dynamic
ADHD can create a profound "relational gap" where one partner feels like a nag and the other feels constantly "less than." My work with couples centers on Systems Theory and Attachment, helping you:
Translate neurodivergent "language" so both partners feel seen and heard.
Dismantle the cycle of demand avoidance and reactive withdrawal.
Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis or have been "white-knuckling" it for years, I provide a space that is curious, courageous, and deeply affirming. We don't just "manage" your ADHD; we build a life and a relationship that actually fits your brain.
