Dr. Kahina Beasley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
ADHD can profoundly influence various aspects of life, notably in academic and professional settings, where focus and concentration are paramount. Achieving the necessary accommodations in these areas often requires a formal evaluation by a psychologist. If ADHD symptoms are hindering your ability to perform at your best, I am here to assist. Through a detailed assessment, I can provide the essential documentation required for accommodations, such as additional time for tests and assignments or access to a more conducive testing environment. This step is essential in leveling the playing field, ensuring that you have the support and resources needed to excel despite the challenges posed by ADHD.

Lauren Rance
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist (PsyD, LP)
I take a strengths-based approach and oftentimes reflect how some symptoms of ADHD can serve individuals (i.e., creativity, hyperfocus on tasks you like). We also explore how ADHD symptoms are getting in the way, whether it is motivation difficulties, trouble getting started on tasks, difficulty creating/following a routine or schedule, frequent distraction, communication difficulties, or difficulties managing strong emotions. I then offer executive skills coaching to help build skills in these areas.

Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
ADHD can affect every aspect of life, from academics and work, to relationship with family and friends, to your own experience of emotions. My perspective is grounded in an awareness of the interplay of culture and context in the experience of ADHD. I see clients for whom ADHD is their primary reason for coming to therapy, as well as those who are coming in for other reasons but want to see someone who can recognize how ADHD shapes their experiences. In addition to therapy, I offer diagnostic assessments for ADHD as well as executive functioning coaching, all of which can be integrated or stand-alone services.

Shauna Pollard
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you have always excelled in your career, it’s possible that many people don’t see the long hours that you put in and recognize how late you stay at work to get things done. Yes, you get it all done and usually deliver high quality work, but it comes at a cost. Often, there is anxiety about maintaining a certain level of success. You may feel like you pulled off something amazing, but doubt your ability to do it again, or to sustain what you’ve created.
In fact, you may be great at coming up with the big picture ideas and find it hard to follow through with the important details. It’s likely that you are excited by so many things that it’s hard to focus on just one thing. You may also find that because so many things come easily to you, that it is so frustrating when you come across a challenge that feels different from the rest.

Being successful and having ADHD can mean that others may not even recognize that you have ADHD because you have naturally found workarounds for your areas of weakness. This may allow you to excel at school or in your career, but challenges with being organized, handling intense emotions, and managing your time wisely will catch up eventually.
Hitting that wall can show up as burnout, challenges in relationships, financial issues, or a loss of confidence in yourself.
The skills that got you to where you are, may not be enough to get you to the next level.
You are not alone and therapy can help. You don’t need to be fixed, you just need some additional support so that you can improve your functioning across the board. Through our work together, I can help you
1. Learn how to work with the brain that you have
2. Improve how you manage your emotions so that they don’t manage you
3. Increase your confidence in yourself and stop being so hard on yourself
