ADHD Therapists in Lutherville Timonium, MD

I am a licensed psychologist skilled at conducting psychoeducational evaluations with children and adults. I provide specific, practical interventions and recommendations that can be implemented across settings. My areas of expertise include ADHD, learning disabilities (e.g. non-verbal learning disabilities, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia), social, emotional, or behavioral challenges, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I also work with children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety disorders (social anxiety, school avoidance, panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and post-traumatic reactions) from a CBT perspective.

Embarking on your therapy journey can feel daunting. You may not know where to begin, what to look for, or how to identify your specific needs. It's common to experience emotions that are hard to understand or to face situations that seem unmanageable. This is where I come in. Whether you're feeling anxious or sad, or you're unsure about your next steps in life, I can provide the support you need. If you have a child who might benefit from additional help, I am here to assist.

Do you find yourself wanting more out of life? Would you like to have better relationships and deeper connections with yourself, your friends, your family and significant others? Maybe you are seeking relief from the pain caused by anxiety, stress, depression, or ADHD? Life is all about change and sometimes those life transitions can leave you struggling. Marriage, parenting/ new motherhood, a new job or recent move, loss of an important person or the end of a relationship, or even a graduation can be stressful and difficult to adjust to. If thinking about a plan for your future feels scary, let’s talk about it!

I'm a licensed therapist with a specialization in ADHD, trauma, and anxiety. My role is to provide compassionate support, structure, validation, and tools to help you improve your mental health and accomplish your goals.

Do you find that you or your child are easily overwhelmed and have a hard time managing responsibilities? Are you or your child frequently worried and feel it’s impacting your happiness? Do you or your child struggle with guilt and self-acceptance? Many people struggle to deal with big emotions and express them in healthy ways. I have the tools to help you navigate these challenges and learn to better understand and cope with difficult feelings and situations.

A Professional Certified Life Coach specializing in AD/HD, my passion is to make a positive difference with professionals and adults impacted by executive function challenges. Completing rigorous training and practice coaching requirements cultivates my expertise as an Executive Function Coach to explain the complexities of ADHD in a simple language clients will understand. I partner with clients to find strategies and tools to manage executive function challenges at work, home, in a relationship, or in college. Individual goals and actions are created and employed based on the client's unique skills and strengths.

I conduct psychodynamic therapy with an integrated biopsychosocial approach. I specialize in therapy for depression and anxiety, communication enhancement, work and career issues, life transitions, stress management, women's issues, issues of aging, and physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse issues. In addition to providing individual psychotherapy, I routinely conduct psychological evaluations for a variety of concerns including ADHD, Alzheimer's Disease, Autism Spectrum Disorders, educational assessments, learning concerns, pre-surgical evaluations, traumatic brain injuries, and emotional disturbances.

Asking for help when you are struggling is incredibly hard. Maybe you have tried therapy in the past and it was not a good fit. I strive with each of my clients to meet them where they are emotionally and work with them to achieve their goals. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship stressors, and life transitions. My approach fosters a supportive, collaborative relationship that brings about real change. At the same time, I try to bring humor and laughter into the therapy space, often through nerdy pop culture references.

Have you experienced trauma? Do you worry excessively? Are you depressed? Has a loved one died and the loss is too much to handle? Do you avoid people & places because you're afraid? Are you dealing with issues around your sexuality & gender? Do you sense that something's "just not right" with your world, but you cannot put your finger on it? *If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, maybe it's time to try therapy?

Now Accepting Clients! Are you overwhelmed with life and is having trouble facing your day? Whether you are overwhelmed by school, work or overall responsibilities, my aim is to equip you with the skills to face your fears and take on their day. I provide a safe space for you to express yourself without fear of judgement. I also love working with adolescents who are in need of guidance and assistance in correcting maladaptive behaviors

I will be accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth appointments in September. I believe each person is unique, although we all struggle at times for many different reasons. The life challenges that have brought you to this moment can change your life and move you forward when together we find creative ways to manage your symptoms and stress. Psychotherapy is a deeply transforming experience when you are listened to, understood and responded to honestly and directly. Whether you are managing depression, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues or family issues we can work together to meet your goals.

Are you feeling stuck, down, depressed, unmotivated, unfocused? Are you trapped in overwhelming emotions or unhelpful thinking? Are your relationships causing you distress? I am here to help you on your journey to greater inner harmony, balance, joy, and aliveness. I am an experienced psychotherapist who finds great fulfillment in helping my clients overcome their emotional hurdles and enabling them to live more productive and fulfilling lives. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families. I am here to help you discover your strengths and see the sunny side of life more often.

I provide high-quality, compassionate treatment to children, adolescents, teens, and young adults to address a wide range of difficulties. I utilize evidence-based treatment such as Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus on academic challenges, anger management/tantrums/aggression, anxiety, ADHD, bedwetting/toileting problems, family issues, destructive behavior, executive function difficulties, noncompliance/rules violations, relationship issues, parenting difficulties, fears, school behavior, sleep problems, social skills, and verbal abuse. I also have training in child and family therapy.

In therapy sessions, I work with clients to help teach the skills needed to manage, squash, or move on from anxious or intrusive thoughts now and long after we end our time together. You will learn how to become “your own therapist” by learning how to spot anxious or intrusive thoughts and learning EXACTLY what to do, proactively and in-the-moment, to stop them from taking over and keeping you from enjoying life. Clients, of all ages, most often come to me to for difficulties related to OCD, anxiety, phobias, panic, and parent management/support for parents whose kids have ADHD or OCD, and perinatal/postpartum anxiety/OCD.

Hello! My name is Patty Knott and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice seeing clients in my Towson office and via Telehealth.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) who uses a client-centered approach when providing counseling services to adults of all backgrounds. I start working with clients where they are in their lives and use a strength-based approach to help clients explore their issues and offer them appropriate strategies and advice targeted to improve these areas of concern. I guide and support clients in implementing the necessary changes to improve peer and family relationships, emotional health, and overall quality of life at home, work, or at school.

As a therapist, I help individuals seeking to improve relationships with partners, family, friends, and often themselves. I apply a family systems approach to help individuals navigate through concerns such as divorce, grief and loss, and difficult family relationships. My practice also extends to those dealing with general stress, life transitions, body image, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I work with individuals (age 7+), couples, and families.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I work with children and adolescents with a variety of behavioral and mental health needs. The majority of my experience has been in the school setting providing individual and group therapy to elementary, middle and high school aged students. I also have experience working with teaching staff on implementing appropriate behavioral interventions to support struggling students. I am passionate about working with children on the autism spectrum, with young people who may be struggling with social relationships, improving self-esteem, and managing stress effectively.

With the demands of everyday life, our own emotional demands can often go unmet- causing pain, discomfort, bitterness, and frustration. Taking a step back from the responsibilities pulling us in all directions to closely examine our emotions and relationships can feel impossible, uncomfortable, or even intolerable. But if you're interested in pursuing therapy, you may have already realized the discomfort of things remaining "stuck" is worth trading for the discomfort that comes with growth. If you want to make changes and don't know where to start, talking it through with an empathic therapist can help.
