About Us

theadhdspecialists.com was built to offer something many people never receive after an ADHD diagnosis: thoughtful assessment, careful prescribing, and genuine ongoing support.

I received my own ADHD diagnosis at 53. What followed was brief and transactional: a list of medications, little context, and no real support in understanding what the diagnosis meant for my life. As a clinician, I knew that was not good enough, and I was not willing to offer that kind of care to anyone else.

That experience shaped the kind of practice I wanted to build: one where diagnosis is only the beginning, not the end of the conversation.

I am a diagnostician and prescriber, but I am also a psychotherapist trained in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT). CAT is a relational form of therapy, which means it pays close attention to patterns in relationships, self-understanding, and the emotional meaning behind our difficulties. In my experience, that relational quality is often what neurodivergent people need most, and too rarely receive. My ongoing PhD research explores ADHD and shame — a subject that is far from abstract for many people reading this. It is deeply personal.
Every clinician at theadhdspecialists.com brings something beyond professional training: lived experience. Our team understands neurodivergence not only clinically, but personally, and that shapes the empathy, thoughtfulness, and care we offer. We know what good care feels like, and we know what poor care feels like too. That knowledge informs every part of how we work.

Every clinician joining the practice will also be grounded in Cognitive Analytic principles. That is intentional. It helps create a consistent standard of reflective, relational, high-quality care.

This practice has grown entirely through word of mouth. No advertising. No algorithm. Just people telling other people that they felt genuinely heard. We are full every week, and we intend to stay that way — not by scaling quickly, but by protecting the standard of care.

We are not interested in volume-driven care or quick transactional diagnoses. What we offer is thoughtful assessment, a genuine clinical relationship, and care shaped by both expertise and lived experience.

Are we perfect? No. Are we more than good enough? Absolutely.
