ADHD Therapist for Women in Durham, NC | Kristen McClure, LCSW
Neurodivergent-affirming telehealth therapy for women in Durham and the Research Triangle
If you are in Durham or the Research Triangle area and looking for a therapist who specializes in ADHD in women, I offer telehealth therapy for women across North Carolina, including Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and the surrounding Triangle region.
ADHD Therapy for Women in Durham, NC
The Triangle is home to many high-achieving, highly educated women — and a significant number of them are navigating ADHD that was never recognized because they were too capable, too compensating, too good at making it look like nothing was wrong.
That is the population I know best. Women who have managed to succeed in demanding environments while running on twice the effort, accumulating shame about the gaps, and wondering why things that seem easy for others take everything they have.
I specialize in ADHD in women: late diagnosis, high masking, burnout, and the particular experience of being gifted or high-achieving with an unrecognized ADHD nervous system.
Why Telehealth Works for ADHD
I work exclusively via secure telehealth. For women in the Durham-Chapel Hill-Raleigh corridor, this removes the friction of commuting across the Triangle, managing parking, and arriving on time to an unfamiliar office.
For ADHD brains, telehealth is often genuinely better. The familiar environment reduces sensory load. The lack of commute removes a major executive demand. Scheduling is more flexible, which supports the kind of consistent attendance that makes therapy work.
All sessions are HIPAA-compliant.
What I Work With
ADHD in women — including late diagnosis, burnout, high masking, twice-exceptional and gifted presentations. Anxiety, OCD, depression, and trauma as they overlap with ADHD. Rejection sensitive dysphoria, hormonal transitions, and the relational impact of living with an ADHD nervous system.
My Approach
Neurodivergent-affirming, non-deficit-based, organized around an empowerment model with five areas: self-awareness, self-compassion, self-accommodation, self-advocacy, and self-care.
The goal is not to help you function better in systems that weren't built for you. It is to help you build a life that actually fits your brain.
Fees and Insurance
$110/session | 55 minutes | Most BCBS accepted | Superbills available for out-of-network reimbursement
Frequently Asked Questions
You can reach me via email or through my Psychology Today profile. I offer telehealth across all of North Carolina, so working with me doesn't require being in Charlotte.
Yes. Twice-exceptional women — those who are both gifted and ADHD — are a specific part of my practice. High intelligence often masks ADHD, leading to late diagnosis and the particular exhaustion of performing competence while struggling privately.
Yes. Telehealth means I work with women throughout NC regardless of location. Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Cary, and surrounding areas are all within reach.
OCD is one of my clinical specialties. It co-occurs with ADHD more often than many clinicians realize, and the two conditions interact in ways that matter for treatment. I work with women navigating both.
I accept most BCBS plans. For other insurers, I provide superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Contact your insurer to ask about your mental health benefits.
