ADHD Therapists in Ardmore, PA

Do you feel like you are always working but never get anything done? Are you secretly afraid that you are just lazy? Do people often complain that they feel like you are not listening to them? Have you tried all kinds of strategies to help your ADHD symptoms but nothing works, or at least not for long? If so, I may be able to help. I have been working, for over 15 years, with warmth and compassion, to help late adolescents and adults find concrete, useful strategies that feel authentic to their life so that they can reach their goals.

Not currently accepting new clients- waitlist only. My approach to therapy is holistic, engaging and centered around highlighting my client’s strengths so that these can be harnessed to help them reach their goals. I employ both psychodynamic and behaviorally oriented approaches and specialize treating anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, and relational issues. I also have training in mindfulness based stress reduction, and have a particular interest in helping women navigate life transitions, challenges in intimate relationships/dating, and their journey with pregnancy and parenthood.

I feel both honored and privileged to partner with individuals and couples to build their understanding of their challenges, leverage their strengths, and create personalized strategies to make meaningful changes in their lives. As a therapist with ADHD, I recognize that one of the most painful experiences that come with ADHD is feeling “in your own way” and the sense of thwarted potential that comes along with it. I also know that ADHD doesn’t just impact attention, organization, and motivation; it can affect your entire life, from your performance at work to your home life and inner world.

With everything going on in your world, ADHD may feel like the last thing you want to be dealing with right now. You may have a job, a family, and you just want to complete the goals you set for yourself, but things aren’t working the way you want them to. Maybe you’ve tried treatment in the past and it didn’t work out or maybe this is the first time you’re considering it. However you got here, I’m glad you made it. It takes courage to recognize that you could use support getting to a place where you feel more balanced in your life– like you can finally act on your intentions.

It is my honor to collaborate with clients as they access their strengths and resilience to make and maintain meaningful change. I work to create a warm, non-judgment, and trauma-informed therapy space, so we can develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your personal values and needs. We then partner together as we explore the many facets and layers of you, your family, and your environment in order to help you learn more about yourself, understand your struggles, and make concrete changes in your life. I believe in a person’s ongoing ability to grow and change and it is my pleasure to partner with you on that journey.

Having ADHD can often feel like a daily battle with yourself to accomplish tasks, maintain relationships, and attend to your own needs, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Learning how to work with rather than against your ADHD can be a transformative experience, and I would be honored to work with you through this journey. Together in therapy, we can work to tackle the challenges of ADHD while also bolstering your natural strengths and coming into and honoring your most authentic self. I work to create a therapeutic space that is constructive, creative, and above all compassionate. I can’t wait to welcome you in.

Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am that support for my clients.I create a safe space for my clients to explore their deep feelings, develop a plan, learn healthy coping strategies and increase self-confidence. I am experienced in facilitating conversations around divorce and separation with children and teenagers. I specialize in behavioral change and healing inter-personal relationships. I work with many individuals, families and youth experiencing ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Addiction and Post Traumatic Stress.

I believe that therapy should be a partnership and strive to create a warm environment where trust can grow and people can thrive. I hope to help each of my clients identify what makes them their best selves and learn how to leverage those strengths. By finding ways to work with your unique brain instead of against it, we can create individualized strategies that are both practical and effective for you and your ADHD. As a person with ADHD myself, I also know that its effects often reach outside of productivity and organization into psychological and emotional wellbeing.

I love my approach to brain wave training with neurofeedback. It is broadly effective at producing substantial results in your life that are enduring. Most often I see people with anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADHD, migraine, PTSD, addictions, bipolar and autism. I believe that most people with psychological issues have brain wave activity that is either over-aroused or under-aroused. That is, either too much or too little brain wave activity in either the fast or slow frequencies. Mental problems are a timing issue in the brain. These timing issues can be corrected by practicing a better way to function.

I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.

It’s not easy to face the problems alone. Struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family issues, parenting, or major life changes can be challenging. When you experience any of those problems, you might need someone who would understand you, meet you where you are, offer support, unconditional acceptance, empathy, someone who would help you to learn skills to manage the life challenges more effectively. I am confident that because of my professional experience in therapy I am the person who can help you to start the healing process now.

Welcome, glad you're here. My practice is focused on helping unique individuals understand and accept themselves and engage in healthy relationships while still maintaining individuality. I work with those who don’t always feel like they fit in a box or align with society’s expectations regarding their relationships, career, and personal pursuits. I provide a supportive space for clients to be heard and understood, as well as tools to identify and change unhelpful patterns and increase positive coping skills.

For most people taking the step to start working on therapeutic goals can be intimidating. I pride myself in utilizing a collaborative approach to treatment that meets clients where they are while also celebrating the progress they make along the way. I firmly believe that within each person lies the key to improving their own mental wellbeing. I help clients find strength within themselves by unearthing their personal key and then apply it to their life. As a therapist and supervisor I focus on family, couples and children's therapy, especially working with neurodivergence and the full autism spectrum using evidence-based models.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating challenging transitions, seeking balance, managing relationship conflicts, and enhancing social skills in demanding environments like school and work. With over 13 years of experience in child, adolescent, and family therapy, I also offer clinical and licensure supervision. My warm and collaborative style fosters an environment of unconditional positive regard and safety, encouraging open expression of thoughts and feelings.

Life is full of challenges when raising children. Finding a therapist for yourself or your child can be equally confusing. I can help you to untangle and heal some of the obstacles that that may be getting in the way of a more conflict free and fulfilling family life. My work incorporates Family Therapy, Parent Coaching, Child Centered Play Therapy, Sand Play Therapy, and parenting support/education. I work with children as young as 3, teens, families and individuals. Additionally, I incorporate teaching children, parents, and teens mindfulness based ways of reducing anxiety, worries, fears, and anger issues.

Much of my success in working with children has come from my ability to effectively establish a strong therapeutic relationship. I give children a safe place in which they can effectively express their feelings. Boundaries are extremely important in this process. My patients know that what they say in my office stays in my office. I work collaterally with families to help address a child's needs, without violating the trust or the boundaries we have established. Much of my work has been with children who have anxiety, depression, ADHD, and learning differences. Many of my patients have a combination of these issues. I

Are you frequently feeling nervous or experiencing worrisome repetitive thoughts? Are you having difficulty communicating with your loved ones because anger, frustration and shared emotional overload impede the interaction before anything is accomplished? Do you feel misunderstood? I am a clinical psychologist with many years of experience as an individual, couples and family therapist treating anxiety, depression, and communication issues. The focus of treatment is determined by the mutual agreement of the client and the therapist. I firmly believe that the emotional safety provided by the psychologist is essential.

I am an art therapist and counselor experienced in working with a variety of concerns, issues, and diagnoses through a client-centered and creative approach. I believe that each person is unique and tailor my approach to their individual needs and goals. I approach art therapy and counseling with empathy and believe that each person has innate strengths that can be fostered in order to lead to growth and self-awareness.
