Jennifer Cleveland (she/her)

I love to help ADHDers learn how to gain control of their lives. I am married to an ADHDer and have a soft spot for those struggling with daily/weekly task completion. My approach is mixture of accountability/EF systems learning and implementation/support/regular advice to stop beating yourself up. I can also share my knowledge about medication and when/why to seek out an MD for possible prescription.

I see so many people who wish they would have started therapy sooner to treat their anxiety! I like to better understand what type of anxiety you have first (i.e. physiological like panic attacks, subjective like excessive worrying, trauma-based, etc.) and then work on a treatment plan that addresses your specific type. I love seeing people improve and be less anxious than when they started therapy :)

I looove working with autistic individuals. I have a particular joy in working with low support needs, recently diagnosed individuals who benefit from some accurate information about autism-specific issues, as well as help for their specific issues. Common issues I help with include sensory and social struggles, relationship issues, and executive functioning differences.

CBT techniques can be super helpful for many issues, including decreasing anxious and depressive symptoms and breaking behavior patterns that have become ingrained . For example thought-stopping techniques help you stop the negative thoughts (i.e. visualize a stop sign every time you worry you have a self critical thought) and thought substitution helps to substitute the negative thoughts with positive ones ("I got this!"). I have a lot of CBT "tools" to help you change your thought patterns.

I love using Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques to move therapy sessions forward in a more rapid way. I was trained in MI about 6 years ago when I was working at a university counseling center. These techniques are actually just specific types of questions that I can ask clients from time to time when they express that they are really struggling with something. It helps me to "move the needle" and encourage insight about how a client can better help themselves improve.

I provide Adult autism and ADHD evaluations. I have a background in conducting full battery neuropsychological evaluations for children, teens and adults. Currently I love providing more narrow band/specific evaluations as I feel there are many evaluators who do not have the specific knowledge in ADHD or autism to effectively rule it in or out. I do my best to provide a neurodiversity affirming experience for the evaluation.
