Neurodivergent-affirming telehealth therapy for women in North Carolina and South Carolina
If you've spent most of your life feeling like you're working twice as hard as everyone else just to keep up — you're not imagining it, and it's not a character flaw.
I'm Kristen McClure, a licensed clinical social worker and ADHD therapist for women. For over 30 years, I've worked with women navigating anxiety, burnout, late diagnosis, and the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from spending decades masking who you really are.
You deserve a therapist who actually understands how ADHD works in women — not the textbook version, but the real one. The one that looks like perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, and a to-do list that never gets done no matter how hard you try.

You're Not Lazy. You're Not Too Much. Your Brain Just Works Differently.
ADHD in women is frequently missed, misdiagnosed, or dismissed. Most of the research — and most of the treatment — was developed with boys and men in mind. Women tend to internalize, mask, and compensate. By the time many of my clients find me, they've been told for years that they just need to try harder, be more organized, or manage their anxiety better.
What they actually need is someone who understands that ADHD and anxiety often travel together in women, that burnout in women with ADHD runs deeper than people realize, and that the shame that builds up over years of struggling in systems that weren't built for your brain is real — and healable.

What It's Like to Work With Me
My approach is neurodivergent-affirming. That means I'm not here to help you become a more efficient version of who you've been pretending to be. I'm here to help you understand who you actually are and build a life that fits.
My work is organized around five areas I call the Flourish Empowerment Model:
Self-Awareness — understanding your specific brain, not a generic ADHD checklist
Self-Compassion — working through the shame and self-criticism that build up over years of struggling in environments that weren't built for you
Self-Accommodation — developing strategies that work with your nervous system, not against it
Self-Advocacy — building the language and confidence to ask for what you need at work, in relationships, and in healthcare
Self-Care — rebuilding sustainable care practices that don't require neurotypical consistency to maintain
Services
Individual Therapy
One-on-one telehealth therapy for women with ADHD in North Carolina and South Carolina. I work with anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, and the particular ways these conditions overlap with ADHD in women.
Sessions are 55 minutes. Fee is $110. Most BCBS plans accepted. I am an out-of-network provider and can provide superbills.
Group Therapy
Small-group therapy for women with ADHD. Groups offer something individual therapy can't fully replicate — the experience of being truly understood by people who share your nervous system. Current groups are open to women in NC and SC via telehealth.
About Working Through Telehealth
I see clients exclusively through secure telehealth — which means you can access therapy from wherever you are in North Carolina or South Carolina, without the added stress of commuting or managing one more appointment logistics.
Many women with ADHD find they're actually more comfortable, regulated, and focused in their own space. All sessions are conducted through a confidential, HIPAA-compliant platform.
A Little About Me
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience. I started my career working with trauma-affected girls in the juvenile justice system, then spent years building school-based mental health programs in underserved communities in Charlotte, NC. ADHD in women has been at the center of my clinical work for over a decade.
I'm a member of APSARD, CHADD, ADDA, and the ADHD Coaches Organization.
Ready to Take the First Step?
I have limited availability. If you're in North Carolina or South Carolina and looking for a therapist who genuinely understands ADHD in women — not just the symptoms, but the years of masking, the late diagnosis grief, the burnout — I'd love to hear from you.
