ADHD
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating ADHD, particularly professionals and scientists who were diagnosed later in life, often after years of compensating well enough that no one, including themselves, recognized what was happening. Together we work on executive functioning strategies, self-advocacy at work, and untangling ADHD traits from the self-criticism that tends to build up around them over years of masking. I'm a bilingual, Beck Institute-trained clinical psychologist, and many of my ADHD clients are also navigating cultural identity, immigration, or first-generation professional pressures alongside their diagnosis. Sessions are structured and goal-oriented, so you always know what we're working toward and why.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
I approach my work with individuals from a place of compassion and empathy, understanding that by the time someone comes to work with me, they may have experienced shame or embarrassment about some of their struggles. I offer coaching using a structured and supportive approach to help individuals with ADHD and/or executive functioning concerns. During our sessions, we work on time management strategies, daily life skills, and ways to set realistic goals and achieve them. I also believe that it is often important to process the challenges of being neurodivergent in unaffirming spaces (many of my clients with ADHD have been told they aren't living up to their potential, or that they are lazy etc.), so that self acceptance and resilience can be nurtured.

ADHD
Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
ADHD looks different person to person, in my practice I collaborate with my clients to find the best approach that fits their needs. I have found success in providing context to certain behaviors and finding sustainable paths in managing your ADHD. Sometimes this means hands on skills to practice, as well as lifestyle shifts that can make aspects of focus and concentration easier to attain.

ADHD
Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
Many couples I work with are surprised to discover just how much ADHD is impacting their relationship dynamics. They often feel stuck in a cycle where one partner is seen as "unreliable and self-focused," while the other is perceived as "controlling and critical." Despite their best efforts, attempts to change these patterns are often short-lived or unsuccessful. If you or your partner (or both) have ADHD, you need a couples therapist with a deep understanding of neurodiverse relationships—someone who can help you reframe your challenges, rebuild trust and connection, and feel like true partners again.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
While I am not a therapist, I deal with emotions and the realities they create everyday. The number one obstacle I encounter with clients with ADHD is shame. Coaching can be a powerful space to admit, examine, and expel that immobilizing emotion. The framework of life coaching is helpful for almost everyone. AND I have a toolkit in my back pocket proven effective and accessible in revealing the superpowers in ADHD and cultivating ease around the obstacles. This toolkit includes methods, tools, and experiments to improve time management, focus, interpersonal relationships, motivation, and life balance, as well as so much more. I am NOT offering therapy; our work together will not focus on the failings of the past or finding a mental diagnosis because I believe you are whole, resourceful and creative as you are, right now. Our work will be to find the tools that work for you to get the life you want.
