Becky Short Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC/MHSP, NCC
I am an ADHD Certified Clinical Specialist (ADHD-CCSP) with experience working with individuals who have been diagnosed with, or suspect they may have, ADHD. Living with ADHD can present unique challenges and sometimes contribute to anxiety and depression. Through gently challenging negative core beliefs and implementing supportive structures, life can feel more manageable and fulfilling.

ADHD
Paul Losoff
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe ADHD is a legitimate neuropsychological condition that often requires more than willpower to manage. It can also be a source of unique strengths; some may call it a superpower. My approach focuses on empowering individuals with ADHD through skill-building, strategy development, and confidence-boosting techniques, helping them reach their full potential.

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.

ADHD
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many of the people I work with are highly capable adults and students who either have an ADHD diagnosis or strongly relate to ADHD traits. On the outside, you may be described as bright, caring, or high achieving. On the inside, it can feel very different: difficulty focusing, time blindness, perfectionism, starting but not finishing tasks, or feeling scattered even when you care deeply. You might be doing well in school or work, but only by pushing yourself much harder than other people seem to need to.
Many people tell me it feels like they have spent their whole life doing extra work on everything, not because they are not smart, but because of ADHD. There can be real grief in seeing how misunderstood you have been by yourself and by the systems around you, and a deep tiredness from carrying so much for so long.
ADHD can also shape relationships. You may worry about disappointing people, missing cues, or being “too much” or “not enough,” even in close connections. Many people care deeply while feeling misunderstood, or feel confused and frustrated about how attention, emotion, or follow through show up with partners, friends, or family.
In our work, we look at ADHD through a trauma‑informed, nervous‑system‑aware lens. We explore how your brain and body naturally work, how past experiences and expectations have shaped your story, and what actually supports your attention instead of fighting against it. This can include patterns like hyperfocus, where you can drop deeply into what interests you while struggling with tasks that feel boring or overwhelming. I also make room for the gifts that can come with ADHD: creativity, sensitivity, and the capacity to care deeply.
The focus is on softening self‑criticism, honoring both the grief and the strengths, and finding ways to navigate school, work, relationships, and daily life in a way that fits how you are wired. Working with ADHD is central to my practice, and I bring a great deal of respect and care to this work.

ADHD
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Dysregulation in our lives is disruptive and limits us from our true potentials. Matters of planning, concentration, and focus can be improved through recognition of these challenges while employing a compassionate self-awareness that invites adjustments in our lives that is specific to our individual differences.
