Therapy for ADHD in Salt Lake City, Utah

ADHD therapy is about understanding how your brain works, not trying to change you. Neurodivergent brains think, feel and function differently than neurotypical ones. If you’ve pushed through, adapted and held it all together for years on your own, you don’t have to anymore. Together we can explore what’s getting in your way, build practical skills and help you gain the confidence you’ve been lacking to navigate life with ADHD. You’re not too sensitive, too intense or too much.

You’re in the right place if…

  • You’ve been in therapy before and felt like something was being missed or misunderstood, or perhaps you experience things in a way that the people around you just don’t quite “get”.

  • You feel like you have twenty tabs open in your brain at all times.

  • Your emotions feel big, immediate and difficult to manage. People have told you you’re “too much”, so you make yourself smaller.

  • You’re perpetually burned out. Keeping up with life’s many demands feels harder than it does for others, yet you know you’re capable.

  • You were recently diagnosed or you highly suspect ADHD might be part of your story and you’re not quite sure what to do next.

  • You feel like you’re either doing everything at once or nothing at all. This doesn’t work for you, but you can’t seem to figure out a better way.

MEET YOUR SALT LAKE CITY EMDR THERAPIST

Hi, I’m Kelsey, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in therapy for ADHD. My approach is always trauma informed and neurodivergent affirming. I spent 30 years navigating life with undiagnosed ADHD, which has contributed to my passionate for helping people (particularly women) with similar struggles.

Many of my clients come to me having tried to navigate their ADHD for years and years without the proper tools or a provider who understands. Maybe they are dealing with the grief (and excitement) of a recent diagnosis or maybe they are trying to figure out if what they are experiencing might be actually be ADHD. This diagnosis can feel impossible to manage without the proper tools.

Therapy for ADHD isn’t about figuring out how to fit yourself into the box that everyone else operates within. I’m here to help you understand yourself and build something that feels sustainable. Working against your own nervous system for years comes at a cost and it’s often a lonely road. You don’t have to figure it out all alone anymore.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Absolutely! A formal diagnosis is not required and we can chat together about whether pursuing a diagnosis makes sense for your situation. You don’t need a label to receive meaningful help and we can figure next steps out together.

  • Yes - and sometimes those feelings can coexist with relief, which can feel confusing. Therapy is a great place to make sense of what this diagnosis means for you and to grieve what life might have been like if you’d received support and understanding earlier on.

  • Many neurodivergent people have had therapy experiences where they feel misunderstood or like something is being overlooked. I understand this on a personal level and strive to make my office an affirming space. We go at your pace and work with your brain. And most importantly, my goal is to help you understand yourself and experience a therapeutic relationship with someone you don’t have to mask or perform for.

  • If ADHD is making it harder to manage your responsibilities, relationships or emotions - or you’re just tired of feeling like you’re constantly struggling - therapy can be a helpful place to start.

  • ADHD can show up in big and uncomfortable ways in relationships. Communication challenges, emotional intensity, rejection sensitivity and feeling misunderstood are just a few of the ways that struggles can arise. ADHD doesn’t have to define your relationships and therapy can be helpful in understanding your patterns and communicating your needs to others.

  • My fee for services is $165 per 50 minute session. I have a limited number of sliding scale spots, based on financial need.

    I am an “out of network” provider. If you have out of network benefits with your insurance provider, I am happy to provide a superbill to submit for reimbursement.

    Being “out of network” allows several benefits:

    • I can keep your information completely confidential. I do not share notes or diagnoses with insurance companies.

    • I can offer more flexible and personalized care that is not dictated by the confines of your insurance company.

    • We can avoid surprise billing issues, clawbacks or other insurance issues that could lead to an interruption or termination of treatment.

    • We can focus on what’s best for you, not what insurance says is best for you!
