Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
My experience with ADHD is not just academic, it's also personal. I have ADHD. ADHD, like autism, is only a "disorder" in the context of our culture. ADHD is a brain-based condition. That means ADHD brains are structured slightly differently and function slightly differently. People with ADHD appear "disordered" when measured by neurotypical standards. I view my role as helping you to understand how your brain works (as opposed to a neurotypical brain) and to help you harness your ADHD strengths. I will help you develop strategies for addressing challenges that your ADHD creates in your life.

Melanie Bettes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, Coach
ADHD. While it's uniquely presented in everyone, there are still commonalities. The challenge is usually to figure out how to work with YOUR presentation, and not apply a universal approach to each person. It's as unique as you are, and I strive to approach your challenges the same way. I myself have ADHD. I learn through education and study, as well as from people in my circle who have ADHD....and from YOU! I love when we find an approach or tips that work for YOU. When working with me, we find what works for YOU.

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.

Christine Henry
Psychologist, Ph.D
ADHD impacts our lives in so many ways, but therapy can help. Together, we can hack your brain to increase motivation. We can find ways to complete tasks that used to take so much energy and effort. We will discover what gets in the way of having the closeness you want in your relationships with others. You can better understand your sensory needs so they don't interfere with the life you want. Lastly, identify ways to rest and relax without feeling guilt.
