Santa Monica Therapists specializing in ADHD

Melissa Gentry

I have experience working with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) from both a neuropsychological perspective and as a hypnotherapist. I help clients with ADHD learn to manage their lives, set goals, get motivated, prioritize, and cope with relationship challenges that arise from living with ADHD. Hypnotherapy is one the most powerful therapeutic treatments that I have witnessed for clients living with ADHD.

Rebecca Branda

Often the desire to start therapy begins when you realize that you are not in control of your feelings, goals, wishes, your own life. Those are the moments that you realize that maybe something needs to change. The change you seek may be specific around a certain event, or more diffuse, based on larger transformations, a desire for deeper insight or better self-awareness. Whatever it is, you do not have to deal with it alone and finding the right therapist is an important first step.

Erica Ives

Erica has had personal experience with many of the same struggles that bring one to seek therapy and passionately believes in life with freedom from an eating disorder, trauma, and addiction. She views recovery as being unique to every individual and understands the vulnerability shared throughout therapy. Erica teaches the tools for one to achieve a life filled with balance, awareness, and well being to live on a mindful path of recovery. ​
