ADHD Therapists in Hillsboro, OR

I provide neurodiversity-affirming care to adults with ADHD or other neurodivergence, and can provide perspective from my own lived experience. I specialize in working with men, and understand the ways that masculinity can complicate mental health and treatment. I take an eclectic, client-centered, evidence-based approach that focuses on combining the best available research with your individual preferences and learning/interaction styles. Our time in therapy will focus on teaching you skills to help you relate to yourself, your emotions, and your thoughts in more effective ways, while also exploring how those patterns formed.

Have you ever thought: Counseling is helping, but I feel like it’s not quite enough..... I’m not sure if medications are the right fit, and don’t know who to talk to about it..... They say supplements can help with mental health, but how do I know I’m taking the right ones? If so, you’re not alone. It can be difficult to know where to go in the midst of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, fatigue, or unmanaged ADHD symptoms. You just want to feel better!

I am a Neurodiversity Affirmative therapist. I am unique in that I am cross-trained with multiple other specialties (Peds, OT, PT, SLP, Education, Psychiatry, Audiology) to have a comprehensive understanding of challenges. I am known for teaching people a 'User's Manual' for their brain; I co-create with you a manual for how your brain works, what the challenges are, how they impact you, and known tricks to circumvent them. I am in training to provider EMDR. I have exceptional scholarship in: Autism/Aspergers, ADHD, Dyslexia and Emotional Disorders. Many of my clients have been to multiple other providers with no change....

You can never seem to get on track. You’ve tried everything you can think of, from ideas from YouTube to suggestions from other people. The message you’re getting through life is to try harder. And just trying harder never seems to work. Whether you have ADHD or some of the traits attributed to it, trying harder isn’t going to work. What the well-meaning people who try to help don’t know is that you need to try something different. Each time you lose your keys, forget to turn off the stove, or get sidetracked and lose track of time, you roll your eyes at yourself. Not again!

I work with people of all backgrounds, ages and presenting concerns: both individuals and couples. I am zealous about human connection and curious about your own personal narrative. I am so excited to meet you and discover your abilities together!

I have been helping people with anxiety, addictions, ADHD, and eating disorders since 2015, and can provide you with virtual counseling via video or phone if you are anywhere in Oregon or Washington! My approach is cognitive-behavioral, meaning that I am listening for negative thoughts (cognitive) that we can challenge and reframe more positively, as well as things that you can do (behavioral) to feel less anxious and more hopeful, and to take good care of yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically.

I believe in empowering my clients to recognize their strengths and to find healing. I seek to create safe spaces for clients to feel accepted and understood. My experience in various clinical mental health settings has allowed me the honor to work with people from all walks of life and to learn from them. I seek to continually educate myself on the impact I have in society as an educated white woman with privilege. I am a lifelong learner searching for ways to use my power and privilege as a social worker to advocate for others and fight for justice on behalf of those marginalized by society. I am here to listen and learn from you.

I thrive in an environment where I can utilize my listening skills and relatable personality to provide a safe and caring place for others. I believe empathy, compassion, and reasonable humor are central to creating an effective relationship that helps clients to make meaningful changes over time. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Eastern Illinois University and his Master of Arts from Pacific University.

I am doing in person and telehealth appointments. Do you struggle with not knowing who you are or what you want? Have you found that the coping skills that used to work just seem to fall short? Do you want a safe and nonjudgmental space to be able to talk with someone? I believe we all have the capacity to address our needs, become more authentic, and make positive changes towards our goals regardless of what we have been through in the past. We are able to access our own wisdom and truth when we feel safe and heard. I would love to provide that space and presence for you to share, grow, and heal.

I've been working with children, adolescents, and families for 25 years. As a parent myself, I'm familiar with the growing pains of raising a family. Each new day can be an adventure, whether we want it to be or not. I can assist you as you navigate the ups and downs of family life and parenting. I believe it's 'easier to build a child than to repair an adult.' Building a resilient, happy child begins at birth. Fostering resilience in your children through effective parenting and a supportive "village" is a gift they will have the rest of their lives.

As a daughter to immigrant parents, I had the privilege of learning about diversity first-hand and gained a multicultural perspective. I speak Spanish and would love to extend the healing to the Latinx community. I also offer faith-based counseling services if you would like to bring your spiritual beliefs into treatment. I graduated from Hope International University with my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am passionate about and have experience working with children and families with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, crisis, ADHD, and trauma. Allow me the opportunity to work with you on meeting your goals.

Positive Inner Self's therapists have extensive history working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults working through difficult behaviors, parental relational issues, trauma and abuse, reunification, foster and adoption issues, anxiety, depression and trauma. We have helped many individuals working through past trauma, attachment difficulties, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. We are client centered meaning we don't have our own agenda. You decide what you want to work on, we help you to figure out the solutions best for you while having a few laughs.

I work with clients from a systematic approach. This approach allows clients to identify dysfunctional patterns of communication and other behaviors. This approach also aims to treat the underlying issues rather than solely focusing on the problem itself. I utilize a reality-based approach to treatment by using therapies that help clients establish greater control over their lives while enhancing the ability to build meaningful and effective relationships. My main goal is to provide a therapeutic environment where the clients can learn to focus on thoughts and behaviors as well as learning new adaptive experiences.

Now accepting Jackson Care Connect insurance.Limited availability, telehealth only. Young kids may require parent availability to participate in sessions.I like an open and engaging session and take a client centered approach. In sessions I will check in with what you're needing to address or we will work on pre-set goals. I do a lot of work with strengths based care and solutions focused work. I appreciate and will also incorporate aspects of family systems in both individual and family therapies.

I work with adults with illness, disability, or going through life transitions to develop strategies to address relationships, intimacy, connection, sexual wellness, pelvic health, sexuality and gender expression. I'm passionate about the area of sexuality and intimacy as it intersects with illness and disability. Sex is an activity of daily living and I believe that sex, sexuality, gender expression, and creating intimate and loving connections are meaningful occupations. I'm trained in the biopsychosocial model and I analyze the larger picture of physical, mental, cognitive, sensory, social, and environmental contexts.

My therapeutic style is person-centered, strengths-focused, and relational. You can expect sessions to feel warm, compassionate, affirming, and collaborative. I help clients better understand themselves by drawing connections between the way they are feeling and the family and social systems they are part of.
