Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
As a neurodivergent clinician, I intimately understand how disabling ADHD can be, and that it impacts so many more areas of life beyond merely focus and attention. For women and AFAB folks in particular, ADHD symptoms are often internalized as personal failures, having negative impacts on self-esteem, social engagement, and mood. I have worked primarily with queer & gender-expansive folks who experience ADHD symptoms, typically with a trauma history. I can provide an ADHD assessment and evaluation, as well as treatment and compassionate psychoeducation about the disorder. In our long-term work together, my goal is to collaborate with you to incorporate functional strategies that will improve your relationship to the things you need to do (work, tasks, etc.) and the things you want to do but have difficulty completing (like texting back your friend(!), or even remembering they exist.).

Dr. Jeremy Frank
Psychologist, Ph.D., C.A.D.C.
ADHD is complicated with addictive disorders and many therapists are reluctant to work with individuals taking medication for ADHD. We have several relationships with psychiatrists who treat ADHD especially in individuals also abusing drugs and alcohol.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Clients can expect a more cognitive behavioral informed approach that may be in addition to medication that is prescribed elsewhere. Neuroatypical clients will be validated and either strengthened current skills or new skills will be added. ADHD can create issues within a relationship and working with such clients will include validation and understanding work with the partner.

Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
ADHD can impact focus, organization, motivation, and follow-through—often leading to frustration, stress, or feeling misunderstood. It can affect school, relationships, and everyday routines. I help teens and young adults develop practical strategies to manage attention, build structure, and work with their strengths. The goal is to feel more in control, confident, and capable in both academic and personal life.

For ADHD, I approach treatment from an organizational and cognitive-behavioral perspective, helping you learn new skills to cope with your ADHD symptoms, including emotion regulation skills, which is often neglected.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I have both evaluated and worked with many clients to help them understand the symptoms of A-D/HD and the impact as well as the strengths that their unique brain brings to their life experience. A-D/HD is not one-size fits all or a constellation of symptoms, rather it becomes part of the lens through which clients experience school, education, self, family, work, and relationships.

Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
I have both personal and professional experience working directly with the symptoms associated with attention "deficit" - hyperactivity "disorder".
New and expansive ways of brain training and manipulating/ engineering the environment(s) in which a person participates in so as to channel these "advanced" tendencies into the gifts they really are can be made more readily available and accessible to clients and those interacting with clients. I also have firsthand experience with medical and non-medication approaches to treatment, as well as clinical and educational experience supporting others affected by "conditions".

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Some studies suggest that twice as many marriages touched by ADHD end in divorce. You might be surprised by that- the common understanding of ADHD is that it’s mainly diagnosed in energetic grade school boys. In fact, many very intelligent adults aren’t diagnosed because their resourcefulness has helped them learn how to cope, but they are barely hanging on by a thread. And this precariousness shows up most clearly in their marriage. Here are some signs your partner might have ADHD (and why you might feel perpetually annoyed at them):
They leave their stuff everywhere.
They become so engrossed in something that they lose track of time, sometimes for hours, and don’t hear you when you call their name.
They forget to call.
You feel like when you are out of their sight you are out of their mind completely.
It seems like they have trouble attending to you at all when they’re attending to their own needs.
They forget where their keys are.
They have trouble with ‘adulting’ (showering regularly, making dinner, doing dishes, etc.)
You often feel more like their parent than their partner.
They’re sensitive to criticism that these behaviors upset you.
The list goes on and on. Couples touched by ADHD often need an assessment, couples counseling and sometimes individual therapy. You can get through this together- know you are not alone in this struggle and we can help you turn around these trends.

Erika Barrington
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, BC-DMT
I actively participate in several neurodivergent and ADHD-focused professional communities, neurodivergent peer communities for myself, and am in the process of getting my ADHD Clinical Services Provider certification. Being connected to ADHD professional communities helps me stay up to date with current research and suggested best practices for ADHD, and getting my own community support exposes me to a wide variety of lived experiences.
A note on IFS with ADHD: One of the things I love about using IFS with ADHD is how it disrupts self-blame. Instead of treating distraction or avoidance as personal failings, we get genuinely curious about what your parts might be up to — and usually, they're trying to help in the only way they know how. In our work together, ADHD or Autism isn't treated as something to fix or a wound to heal. It's simply the environment of your inner world — the rhythm and logic your whole system runs on. I utilize various tools and adaptations of the traditional IFS flow to make sure it is affirming to the neurodivergent brain. Therapy here is about working with your system, not changing it.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
