Healing with ADHD-Holistic ADHD Treatment for adults in NC and VA
You aren’t a “hot mess.” You just need to
learn how to support your brain and let your brain support you!
Sound Familiar?
- You often run late, forget appointments, miss deadlines, and misplace important items. These challenges feel frustrating and overwhelming, but you’re not alone in facing them. Together, we will work to address them.
- You’ve heard that you’re “too much,” “too busy,” or “too loud” so many times that you’ve come to believe something is wrong with you. But those messages don’t define you. Together, we will shift those beliefs and help you embrace your true self.
You know what to do, yet you can’t understand why you’re unable to make yourself do it.
Everything feels much harder for you than it does for those around you.
You’re exhausted from constantly pretending that you have it all together.
- You feel disrespected at work and with friends, but part of you questions whether you deserve to be treated this way.
- You have mixed feelings about the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, and these conflicting emotions influence your perspective.
Treating ADHD with medication alone is ridiculous. When you have a true treatment plan and the support you need, you're going to find that treating your ADHD is life changing.
Our approach is Different.
- We support you in healing from the trauma of negative messages you've received about yourself. Together, we will challenge and rewrite those harmful narratives, helping you rediscover your self-worth and fully embrace your authentic self. Healing is possible, and you don't have to carry these burdens alone.
- We will explore medication options, examining what has worked and what hasn't, in relation to how these symptoms overlap with your mood and energy levels.
- We will create a plan together with clear, actionable steps and built-in accountability to help you achieve your goals. With the right support and structure, you can move forward with confidence and purpose.
- We will explore how your ADHD affects your relationships and work together to begin the process of repair. Along the way, I’ll help you feel comfortable letting go of the mask you’ve been wearing, so you can embrace and take pride in your authentic self.
We do NOT prescribe controlled substances. Stimulant medications are controlled substances and can be an important part of treatment. If you need stimulant medication, we will make a plan to connect you with a prescriber who can meet your needs.
But don’t I need medication?
Possibly, maybe even probably.
Our goal is to provide you with the best care possible. However, the current healthcare system often makes this difficult.
We are licensed in two states and based in a rural region on the NC and VA border, which may not be convenient for everyone. Additionally, federal regulations require in-person visits to prescribe controlled substances. This is an ethical standard we uphold until the DEA adjusts its system to better accommodate the realities and benefits of telehealth. Even then, we will continue prescribing controlled substances with the utmost care, and in some cases, we may still require in-person visits for these prescriptions.
This means we are happy to prescribe non-stimulant medications for ADHD. However, if non-stimulants are not sufficient, we will collaborate with your primary care provider (PCP) or a local mental health prescriber. This way, you can continue therapy with us while receiving stimulant medication from another qualified provider.
If your primary goal is to obtain stimulant medication for ADHD, we recommend seeking a different provider who can better meet your specific needs.
