“Do You Want to Explore New Paths to Growth?”
You're successful on the outside but feel disconnected from who you really are underneath the ADHD management strategies
You've learned to cope with ADHD symptoms, but you want to understand why your brain works the way it does
You're tired of just "getting by" and want to create a life that feels authentic and intentional
You crave both practical skills AND the deeper insight that comes from truly understanding your neurodivergent mind
If these longings feel familiar, you’re ready for therapy that focuses on both practical strategies and personal growth.
You're seeking what we call "whole-person growth"—the kind of deep understanding and sustainable change that helps you not just navigate challenges but live more intentionally and authentically.
At Interlocking Psychology, we offer pathways to care through individual therapy and group programs, each informed by evidence-based methods and a strengths-focused perspective.
How We Foster Deep Understanding, Resilience & Growth
Who You Really Are
Most therapy teaches you to manage ADHD symptoms.
We help you understand your unique neurological wiring, uncover your authentic strengths, and develop deep self-compassion.
You move from surviving to thriving, with profound insight into how your beautiful brain works and why.
Build Lasting Strength, Not Quick Fixes
Traditional approaches offer coping strategies that often don't stick.
We develop sustainable skills rooted in your values, building resilience that grows stronger over time through both individual work and group support.
Tools and insights that evolve with you, creating lasting transformation rather than temporary relief.
Create the Life You Actually Want
Most therapy focuses on reducing problems.
We help you align your daily life with your deeper values and goals, all within a framework of profound compassion and acceptance.
A life that feels authentically yours, intentional, meaningful, and aligned with who you truly are.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Deep, Sustainable Growth
-
While we absolutely provide practical tools, our primary focus is on deep self-understanding and sustainable growth. We believe lasting change comes from knowing WHO you are, not just HOW to manage symptoms. Our approach combines insight-oriented work with skill-building for transformation that lasts.
-
It means we see your ADHD as a neurological difference, not a disorder. We focus on understanding your unique brain, celebrating your strengths, and building skills that work WITH your wiring. You'll never hear deficit-based language or pressure to become "normal."
-
Success and fulfillment are different things. Many of our clients are high-achievers who realize they've been living reactively rather than intentionally. We help you align your considerable talents with your authentic values to create a life that feels genuinely yours.
-
Our approach builds resilience from the inside out. Instead of just teaching coping strategies, we help you develop deep self-understanding, authentic self-compassion, and skills rooted in your values. This creates lasting transformation rather than surface-level change.
-
Individual therapy provides personalized insight work and skill-building tailored to your unique journey. Group therapy adds the powerful element of community and shared growth. Most clients find the combination of both creates the deepest, most sustainable transformation.
-
We're private-pay to ensure we can focus entirely on your growth without limitations. Individual sessions are $150, and our 8-week group program is $400 total. We provide detailed receipts for insurance reimbursement and offer payment plans because this investment in yourself pays dividends for life
