Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I help patients with ADHD by utilizing a comprehensive and personalized approach that addresses their unique needs and challenges. I start with thorough assessments to accurately diagnose ADHD and provide education to help patients and their families understand the condition. Behavioral interventions and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are employed to develop effective coping strategies, improve time management, and address negative thought patterns. Mindfulness practices are taught to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. I also offer coaching to build specific skills, create structured routines, and explore medication options in collaboration with medical professionals. Family involvement is encouraged to create a supportive environment, and a strength-based approach is used to build confidence and motivation. Ongoing support and follow-up ensure continuous progress and adjustment of therapeutic strategies. This comprehensive approach aims to empower patients with ADHD to manage their symptoms effectively, enhance their strengths, and lead fulfilling lives.

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.

Not everyone’s brain works the same way. Some folks have a bigger emotional reaction to a fight and a slower return to baseline. Some people struggle with focus and concentration. Some people find they can be hyperfocused on a task to the detriment of their job, or might feel very overwhelmed in a crowd. For a lot of our patients, being diagnosed with is the first difficult but necessary step to change, whether it’s finding out you have ADHD, PTSD, a personality disorder or if you’re on the Autism spectrum. Learning about how your brain works can help you become more adaptive, so that you can better apply your strengths and avoid pitfalls. Our therapists love working with brains of all varieties, including yours.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) manage the aspects of their ADHD symptoms that impact functioning and well-being. I further help them identify strengths that can help them redefine success, and adopt strategies and skills that can help them work towards and actualize success. This sometimes involves referral to and/or collaboration with a medication prescriber for comprehensive care and maximization of management of symptoms.

Bailey Workman
Therapist, MSW, LSW
I am passionate about working with folks who are neurodivergent. I use a neurodiversity-affirming approach which embraces differences and recognizes individual strengths rather than trying to "fix" neurodivergence. I pull from a variety of therapeutic modalities to collaborate with you to build a customized treatment plan which works for your unique needs and goals.
