ADHD
Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I take a neurodiversity-affirming approach to working with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence. Rather than viewing neurodivergence as something to be fixed, I focus on understanding how each client’s nervous system, attention style, and emotional processing interact with their environment and relationships. My work supports self-compassion, practical strategies, and nervous system regulation, while also addressing anxiety, shame, and burnout that often develop in a world not designed for neurodivergent minds.
I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches to help clients develop tools that align with how their brain actually works—supporting emotional regulation, boundaries, communication, and sustainable functioning without masking or self-criticism

ADHD
Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
ADHD isn’t a lack of effort—it’s a difference in how your brain processes focus, motivation, and emotion. I specialize in working with adults 18+ with ADHD who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated by cycles of procrastination, anxiety, and self-criticism. My approach is practical, compassionate, and neurodivergent-affirming, helping clients build systems that actually work for their brain—not against it. Together, we focus on improving executive functioning, emotional regulation, and follow-through while addressing anxiety, shame, and burnout that often come with ADHD. If you’re tired of feeling like you’re “trying harder” but getting nowhere, therapy can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Many of my clients are capable and driven, yet struggle with procrastination, mental overload, emotional reactivity, and cycles of burnout. Together, we create systems that work for you—helping you feel more organized, confident, and in control of your life.

Providence is home to Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and Providence College — together generating significant student mental health demand and a creative, intellectually engaged population that views therapy favorably and tends toward longer-term, exploratory work. The city has a large Cape Verdean and Latino community, with a significant Guatemalan and Dominican population that creates demand for culturally affirming, Spanish-speaking therapists who understand the particular dynamics of immigrant family life in New England. Rhode Island Hospital and Lifespan Health provide institutional mental health resources, while Brown's Warren Alpert Medical School maintains important psychiatric training programs. Providence's arts and hospitality economy creates consistent demand for therapists experienced with creative identity, economic precarity, and the mental health challenges of artists and performers.
