Brittni Brady, LCSW

You have probably been told you are too sensitive, too scattered, or that you just need to try harder. Maybe you have spent years wondering why things that look effortless for everyone else take so much out of you, or why the strategies that work for other people keep falling apart for you.

You are not broken, and you were never lazy.

I work with women who are making sense of ADHD, whether you were diagnosed last month or have known for years and are tired of white-knuckling it. Together we look at how your brain actually works and build a life that fits it, rather than one more system designed for someone else.

Much of my work sits where ADHD overlaps with other things. Anxiety that turns out to be years of masking and over-preparing. Trauma that lives in the body long after the mind has explained it away. The particular exhaustion of holding it all together. I bring somatic and body-based work into therapy, because ADHD is not only a thinking difference, it is a nervous system that needs tending.

I came to this work honestly. I was misdiagnosed for years before being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, so I know this terrain from the inside as well as from the chair. That is part of why I practice the way I do, and why I will not ask you to perform normal.

I completed the W-CAT model training through Psychotherapy Networker, which focuses specifically on how ADHD presents in women and how to meet clients where they actually are rather than where a textbook expects them to be. I continue to seek out training on ADHD in women across the lifespan, including how it intersects with trauma, hormones, and the transitions that often bring women to a late diagnosis.
