ADHD Therapist for Women in North Carolina & South Carolina
Neurodivergent-affirming telehealth therapy for women in North Carolina and South Carolina
ADHD in women is often missed or misunderstood. You may have spent years working hard to manage things that seem easier for other people, without understanding why they take so much effort.
I’m Kristen McClure, MSW, LCSW, an ADHD therapist for women in North Carolina and South Carolina. For more than 30 years, I’ve worked with women dealing with anxiety, burnout, late diagnosis, masking, and the exhaustion that can come from spending years trying to function in ways that don’t fit how their brain works.
You deserve a therapist who understands how ADHD can show up in women—not just the textbook version, but the lived experience of masking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, and working hard to hold everything together.

How ADHD Can Show Up in Women
ADHD in women is often missed because it does not always look like the stereotype. Many women learn to mask, overprepare, people-please, or work very hard to compensate for difficulties with attention, time, memory, organization, and emotional regulation. By adulthood, ADHD may show up as anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, chronic overwhelm, or the feeling that everyday life takes far more effort than it should.
ADHD can affect much more than attention. It can shape how you manage time, start tasks, regulate emotions, handle relationships, respond to stress, and recover from everyday demands. Over time, these difficulties can also contribute to anxiety, burnout, shame, and difficulty trusting your own needs.
Neurodivergent-Affirming ADHD Therapy for Women
My approach is neurodivergent-affirming. We look at how ADHD is actually showing up in your life, what is making things harder, and what changes or supports might help. Therapy may include understanding your ADHD more clearly, working through shame and self-criticism, building accommodations, strengthening emotional regulation, and learning to advocate for what you need.
My work is guided by my Empowerment Model developed specifically for neurodivergent women. It focuses on five areas that can help you understand yourself more clearly, reduce shame, make changes that fit your brain, and build a life that feels more sustainable.
Self-Awareness
Understanding how ADHD shows up for you—your patterns, needs, strengths, limits, and capacity.
Self-Compassion
Working with the shame and self-criticism that can develop after years of struggling without enough understanding or support.
Self-Accommodation
Changing tasks, environments, routines, expectations, or supports so they work better for your brain.
Self-Advocacy
Learning to recognize what you need and communicate it more clearly at home, work, in relationships, and in healthcare.
Self-Care
Paying attention to what affects your capacity, including sleep, stress, sensory load, hormones, recovery, movement, and rest.
