At Alabaster Counseling, we understand the unique ways ADHD shows up in the female experience, from chronic overwhelm and emotional dysregulation to struggles with organization, relationships, and self-esteem. Using a CBT-informed approach, we help girls and women with ADHD build personalized strategies that work with your brain, not against it , so you can stop surviving and start thriving in your everyday lives.

ADHD
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
ADHD, generally considered a childhood condition, is affecting more and more adults. Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool to help address ADHD, helping to enhance focus and attention. This therapeutic approach leverages the power of the subconscious mind to reframe thought patterns and improve cognitive function. By entering a state of deep relaxation, individuals can access their subconscious mind, where they can work on reinforcing positive habits and behaviors.

David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my treatment for ADHD, I help you develop practical strategies to navigate executive function challenges like time management, organization, and procrastination. I utilize evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you reframe negative self-talk while building a personalized toolkit of skills for task-breaking and environmental modification. When addressing anxiety and fears, I guide you through identifying catastrophic thought patterns and using practical grounding techniques to manage the physical distress of worry. Through safe, gradual exposure to your triggers, I work with you to break the cycle of avoidance and regain your confidence.

ADHD
Mary W. Prentiss
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I work with children and families navigating ADHD-related challenges such as difficulty with attention, impulsivity, emotional regulation, frustration tolerance, organization, transitions, and behavior at home or school. I take a strengths-based, compassionate approach that helps children understand how their brains work without making ADHD feel like something is “wrong” with them.
Therapy may include practical coping strategies, emotional regulation skills, behavior supports, parent coaching, and developmentally appropriate activities to help children build confidence and feel more successful. I also help parents better understand ADHD and learn strategies for responding to challenging behaviors while strengthening their connection with their child.
My goal is to help children recognize their strengths, develop skills that work for their individual needs, and feel capable rather than defined by their diagnosis.
