Do You Wonder if It’s ADHD or Something Else?
Maybe you’ve always suspected ADHD. Maybe you’ve read a dozen articles and watched TikToks and thought, that’s me. Or maybe you’re not sure, sometimes your struggles feel more like anxiety, depression, or the aftermath of stress and trauma.
Here’s what many of our clients say before starting therapy:
“I can’t finish things on time. I always feel behind.”
“My relationships suffer because I don’t show up the way I want to.”
“Work is overwhelming. I know I’m smart, but I can’t keep up.”
“I feel like a failure. Like I’ll never get it together.”
“I feel guilty, even when I’m doing my best.”
These struggles are common in ADHD, but they’re also common when anxiety, depression, or trauma are at play. That’s why it matters to work with an ADHD therapist who understands the full picture, not just the symptoms.

Meet Our ADHD Specialists
Every client’s journey is different. Here’s how our team can support you:
Nareh – Trauma & EMDR for ADHD Clients
If trauma has shaped how you experience ADHD, or if your symptoms feel amplified by painful past experiences, Nareh may be a strong fit. She’s trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful therapy for healing trauma. For many clients, EMDR reduces the overwhelm, anxiety, and self-blame that often accompany ADHD.
Desiree – Trauma and Anxiety Expertise
When anxiety or trauma looks like ADHD, Desiree helps untangle the overlap. She works with clients who feel constantly on edge, distracted, or like their focus disappears the moment stress shows up. Her approach helps clients manage anxiety while addressing patterns that feel ADHD-like, even when the root cause is different.
Andrew – ADHD & Neuropsychological Testing
Andrew specializes in ADHD assessments and neuropsychological testing. Clients often describe him as compassionate, empathic, and insightful, helping them think about themselves in new ways and equipping them with practical tools they hadn’t considered before. If you’re seeking clarity, Andrew’s the one to guide you through testing and beyond.
Anna – ADHD Assessment & Complex Mental Health
Anna provides ADHD assessments and has worked extensively with clients navigating severe mental illness. If you’ve felt misunderstood in previous therapy or worry that your symptoms cross into multiple diagnoses, Anna offers a grounded, nonjudgmental approach to help you find clarity and direction.
Thomas – Couples Therapy & ADHD/Substance Use
ADHD doesn’t just impact the individual, it impacts relationships. When one or both partners have ADHD, couples often struggle with recurring conflicts: forgotten commitments, feeling unseen, or traditional couples therapy that doesn’t stick. Thomas specializes in couples therapy where ADHD is in the mix, as well as the overlap between ADHD and substance use. His work helps couples break old patterns and create communication strategies that actually work for ADHD brains.
