We help high-achievers with ADHD and emotionally intense adults break free from the constant cycle of overwhelm, shame, and inconsistency at our Houston-Willowbrook location.
Insurance accepted. Cash pay available.
On the outside, you look successful. But inside, it feels different:
The good news? With the right therapeutic approach, real change is possible.
The truth? ADHD left untreated doesn’t stay the same — it gets worse. But with the right help, you can finally turn things around.
Not another rushed intake. This is a full deep-dive into your history, patterns, and goals—so we uncover what’s really driving the struggle and map out a personalized path forward.
👉 Walk away with answers that finally make sense—and a plan built for lasting change.
We don’t “set and forget.” As you grow, your care evolves with you. Whether it’s refining your therapy goals or adjusting medication, you’ll always get priority scheduling and support.
👉 No waiting. No stagnation. Just a team that moves with you, so you’re never left stuck.
Healing shouldn’t feel lonely. Our weekly live virtual group connects you with others who actually get it. Together, you’ll share, learn, and grow in real-time.
👉 Normally $35/session—yours FREE as part of your care.
This is the built-in support system that keeps you grounded, connected, and moving forward.
You don’t need more “tips” from the internet—you need guidance that actually works. Every month, you’ll get access to live workshops led by licensed professionals who cut through the noise and show you real strategies that create lasting change.
👉 Normally $97 per workshop—yours FREE as part of your care.
No more guessing, no more trial-and-error. Together, we’ll create a step-by-step plan that’s built for you—covering therapy, lifestyle shifts, and medication (if needed).
👉 You’ll know exactly what to expect over the next 30–90 days, so you can move forward with clarity instead of uncertainty.
Finding the right fit is part of the journey—and we’ve removed the risk. If therapy isn’t the right match, we will connect you with a different counselor on the team and cover the first two sessions until it's the right one.
👉 No wasted time, no wasted money. Just the right care—without the second-guessing.
This isn’t wishful thinking. It’s the kind of change possible when ADHD is treated the right way.
Jessica Deering2025-09-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am two sessions in and I have gained so much insight and a much more unique perspective to the challenges I face with anxiety. Far different than the usual redundancy of typical talk therapy. While, I do appreciate CBT, DBT and other common therapeutic methods, my experience with A.J. feels more effective than others I have had in the past. I am looking forward to what I can achieve through this new approach!! Josh Del Fierro2025-05-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

From the beginning, AJ created a safe and welcoming environment where I felt truly heard and understood. His ability to listen without judgment and offer thoughtful, constructive feedback made a significant difference in my journey. AJ consistently offered insight that was not only compassionate but also remarkably on point. His guidance helped me gain a clearer understanding of myself and equipped me with practical tools to better manage my mental health. His professionalism, empathy, and consistent encouragement played a crucial role in my personal growth. I am genuinely grateful for the positive impact AJ has had on my life and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and effective counselor. brian stern favorites2025-04-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

If you’re seeing one of our therapists and paying cash, any unused session credit can be applied toward another therapist. However, if you’re using insurance, we’re required by insurance regulations to collect your copay, so we’re unable to transfer credits in those cases. For prescriber (psychiatry) appointments, this option isn’t available.
