ADHD Resource Directory

This page is a collection of resources intended for people with ADHD, loved ones of & professional providers for people with ADHD. The resources include referrals, books, online resources, training recommendations and more. My hope with this is to make finding affirming care & helpful information on autism easier for people to access. This page allows me to put all the resources I have in one easily shareable place.

Other quality resource compilations on this topic can be found here: Dr. Christine Henry • Embrace the Muchness

Internet Communities & Websites

The internet is one of my favorite tools for accessible connection, validation & resources.

When searching for online community, my general recommendation is to ensure they have strong guidelines around centering the experiences of people with ADHD, being open to new ideas, and refraining from ableist language & paradigms. I also recommend avoiding communities that are focused on trying to sell you something.

Professional Referrals

I do my best to keep this updated with links to each provider’s website & info on their services. However, providers are often training in new things & adding to what is offered, so what I have here I may be out of date! I encourage you to use the links associated with each individual provider to learn more about them & get the most accurate info on their work. If a link is broken, I recommend typing their name into google along with words like “tennesee”, “mental health,” “therapist,” etc.

NDTherapists.com & NeurodivergentPractitioners.org both have directories for neuroaffirming providers that I recommend if you need more options!

Assessment Providers

+ = offers payment plans and/or pricing packages

** = takes some forms of insurance

Not all professional assessments are the same. I encourage you to speak to the evaluator to better understand the scope of their assessment depending on your needs.

  • + ScienceWorks Behavioral Health – adults only, available for all PSYPACT states
  • + Zephyr Care – ages 2 & up, available for all PSYPACT states
  • Michelle McAtee – adults only, available for all PSYPACT states
  • Lila Homan – children & adults, TN ONLY
  • Quirkiatry – individuals, teens & up TN ONLY
  • ** Dr. Van Horn – children & adults, accepts most insurance. My recommendation is Dr. Van Horn only. I’ve been told it may be difficult to get in with her specifically versus being randomly assigned a provider by the organization. That being said, I do not endorse any other provider at this practice. TN ONLY
  • Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale + New 6q Version

Providers who can provide formalized testing for ADHD.

Therapists (TN Only)

All the therapists below have a good understanding of autism & neurodivergence from an affirming lens. If they have additional specialities, I have included that info from the best of my knowledge.

** = takes some forms of insurance

*I am finding more therapists for this list all the time!
*Additional ND-affirming therapists may be found here

Therapists who are informed on ADHD & provide ND-affirming care. These are providers either I have personally vetted or are people recommended by colleagues whom I trust.

Psychiatry (TN Only)

** = takes some forms of insurance

Doctors or Nurse Practitioners who can provide medication support.

Groups

Groups for people with ADHD to promote community & support emotional processing, groups to support parents of kids with ADHD & more.

More options may be found in the Nashville-Area Group Therapy Directory, though I cannot vouch for how ND-affirming they may or may not be https://www.seconddog.org/nashville-groups

Groups which meet either in person or online & are led by an individual.

Dieticians (TN Only)

Dieticians can be helpful for things such as finding alternative ways to meet your nutritional needs when you forget to eat, or helping you identify what foods can meet your sensory-seeking need with what you require nutritionally.

Coaching

Coaching is great for things like navigating executive functioning & working towards short-term goals

Trainings

Below are some great professional trainings that can aid in your journey of becoming truly neurodiversity affirming, in a format many of us are familiar with. Best wishes along your journey!
