Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
As an ADHDer myself, I work with adult ADHDers from a strengths-based, non-pathologizing perspective. ADHD is a natural variation in brain functioning that comes with its own perks and pitfalls. I can help you identify and celebrate your unique strengths, such as creativity, curiosity, enthusiasm, and resilience. I can also help you cope with the difficulties you may face in a world that's not designed for your neurotype, such as time management, organizing tasks, staying focused, and other executive functioning challenges. I don't want to change or fix you, but rather help you to find what works for you and respect what you want and need. I respect your autonomy and will work with you to make goals that are meaningful and realistic for you. I also understand how hard it can be to face stigma and discrimination because of ADHD, and I offer you a safe and supportive space where you can be yourself without judgement or shame. My approach is based on the ideas of neurodiversity-affirming therapy, as well as the latest research on ADHD and my own personal experience.

S. Abigail McCarrel : Welcome Home Family Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, DCSW
Children come to my family therapy practice with many forms of neurodivergence. Most of the children in my practice have been diagnoses with ADHD as part of their neuro-uniqueness. In many ways, ADHD, however, is a big of a misnomer. Kiddos with ADHD can pay attention. The challenge is that they pay attention to too many things at one time. ADHD is more accurately characterized a disorder of executive functioning. It represents a delay in the areas of the brain that are responsible for organization, attention, memory, perspective taking, listening, etc. These types of struggles represent a delay in development, which can occur for a variety of reasons. To help a child with ADHD, I work with them to go back and recreate movements from the first year of life, in a slow, prescribed way, that allows their brains to make connections and fill in the gaps in development. This is called primitive reflex integration. When the whole family joins in on these fun, brain-balancing exercises, positive changes can be seen in everyone and the child becomes less stigmatized. This is a win for the whole family.
