ADHD Therapists in Salem, OR

Do you wonder if you might be on the autism spectrum, or if you have ADHD? Are you looking for answers from someone who really understands neurodiversity in adults, especially women and Trans folk? If so, then you've come to the right place. I'm Dr. Jami Heyting (she/her/hers), an ADHD member of a neurodivergent twice-exceptional family, abundant with amazing Autists & ADHDers. It was the experiences that my family and I have faced, living in a neurotypical world, that ignited a passion in me to help others who have neurodivergent brains. I'd love to meet you and see if I can help you find the answers you need.

Thank you for considering me for therapy! I believe that behind every issue I treat is a person worthy of healing with their own story to tell. I am here to help whether your problems stem from ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, behavioral addictions (such as technology/video games) or even just the problems that life throws at you such as sports performance anxieties, men's issues, academic concerns, or health and wellness challenges. Your problems do not define you.

Hello! My name is Cara, and I am a dedicated, Qualified Mental Health Professional with over a decade of experience in the field of mental health. Throughout my career I have honed my expertise in addressing various mental health challenges across all age groups, specializing in areas such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-confidence, and more. I am also a certified health coach and life coach, currently working on obtaining my LPC license. My passion lies in empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and achieve their best mental and emotional well-being.

I provide individual, couples, and family counseling. I believe in a collaborative relationship exploring issues and creating ways to improve personal growth. I have a Person Centered approach to reflect, validate, and support each client as they journey through their counseling experience. I enjoy working with Client to identify their goals and support them as they heal.

I believe that every person, regardless of diagnosis or past experiences, can lead purposeful and fulfilling lives with the proper support. We do the best with what we have, and too often life presents significant challenges we are forced to adapt to. Sometimes the patterns that were helpful to get through our childhood present major challenges later in life. Our symptoms do not make us abnormal and are not part of a fundamental flaw that needs fixing, they are a normal response to extraordinary circumstances. Problems do not exist within one person but are the result of a person’s context, family patterns, and learned behaviors.

Accepting therapy and evaluation clients. 12+ for therapy, 7+ years of age for testing, currently providing ADHD, learning disorder, and autism evals. I am glad you are here!

Mental and behavioral health are as important as physical health, especially for children and teens. More than ever our children need resiliency and good, adaptive coping strategies as well as access to prompt, high-quality treatment for common conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. To increase access to services, I will now offer cognitive-behavioral therapy groups for children with depression and anxiety and parent groups for families impacted by ADHD. Groups size will be kept small. The CBT treatment will follow an established approach for 10 weeks (in person).

I believe in the importance of using my skills and voice to help empower my clients. I look forward to a long career in the mental health field where my community members, especially people of color, veterans, women, and individuals needing a cheerleader and advocate in their corner, can receive the care that they deserve. I want to understand the whole person and hope that everyone will soon be able to see themselves for who they are and not by what society or their diagnosis tells them. Seeking mental health treatment is a big step and I want to celebrate each person’s journey.

I work with individuals (14+) struggling with issues related to ADHD, gender identity exploration, trauma, racial identity exploration and going from surviving to thriving while living in systems of oppression. I also offer relationship counseling for adults struggling with issues of connection, trust, and sexual intimacy.

Possibilities. Isn’t that what every good fairy tale is made of? Inviting you to imagine the impossible. The truth about personal change is that it requires you to participate in making it happen. With over 30 years of experience, I am passionate about helping others find their own possibilities and providing them the skills to begin making changes in their lives to Move Forward.

Come as you are to this space and be accepted. While the goals of therapy for each individual vary, a common goal is to be able to experience a range of emotions and have the tools and skills to cope with them. I am here to support you in this journey, regardless of what place you are starting from. I work with two main groups of people. The first being children aged 1-10 and their families, usually on the topics of neurodivergence (specifically ADHD and OCD), attachment and relationship, foster care and adoption. The second group being adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, chronic health challenges, and parenting.

I see the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing when given a safe and supportive environment and I endeavor to hold that space and listen deeply to each person's unique story. I work from a trauma-informed lens and engage in radical acceptance when it comes to supporting people on their journey. I am passionate about providing affirming and inclusive mental healthcare and specialize in working with individuals with the following identities (or those who are self-diagnosed or exploring) : Autistic, ADHD, Transgender, Gender Expansive, Queer and/or Disabled.

You already possess the ability to reach your full potential. My job as your therapist is to listen, walk alongside you, and help you move toward this potential. People seek therapy because they desire happiness. Let's begin by discovering what happiness looks like for you. Do you feel unheard, dismissed and over-ridden by a parent or partner even though you are an adult? Do you feel as though attempting to set new boundaries for yourself is next to impossible because important others will simply disregard them? Therapy can help you learn to fully validate within yourself what it is you feel and believe, and what it is you consider to be important. Peace, authenticity, and balance are springboards to happiness. My goal is to offer you individualized help in overcoming the obstacles that are blocking that happiness. Taking a step, reaching out for some help, will lead you to the change and growth you are hoping for. And whether you are seeking thriving relationships or simply greater contentment, I will help you tap into your own innate strengths to bring about a fuller, happier life.

My practice focuses on people who want to enjoy greater peace and more satisfying relationships. I’m pleased to serve children, adolescents, and adults. The emphasis of my work includes treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, interpersonal difficulties, psycho-spiritual issues, ADHD, and child/adolescent behavior problems.
