A question we hear often is why our ADHD evaluation is self-pay. The short answer is that self-pay lets the process be driven by what is clinically best for you, not what an insurance policy will approve. No prior authorizations. No rushed appointments. No surprise bills. Just a thorough, team-based evaluation with the time and tools it actually takes to get you accurate answers. Now scheduling for June. Financing options are available. Visit striveclecounseling.com to learn more and get started.
Recognizing the pattern is the first step to not repeating it. Generational cycles do not break themselves; and sometimes the most important work is understanding how the environment you grew up in shaped the way you parent, love, communicate, and see yourself. If any of those lines hit a little close to home, that is your nervous system recognizing something worth paying attention to. Our therapists at Strive CLE Counseling help people untangle exactly this kind of thing. Reach out through our website when you are ready.
You have been waiting months or even years for answers. We are ready to give them to you. 👏👏 Adult ADHD evaluations are officially available at Strive CLE Counseling and we are now booking June appointments. This is not a quick checklist and a prescription. It is a thorough four session process that actually looks at the full picture of who you are and how your brain works, ending with real recommendations you can take action on. Whether you have suspected ADHD for years or just started wondering, you deserve clarity not a years long waitlist. Financing options are available. Drop a comment, send us a message, or reach out through our website to get scheduled.
Two and a half hours with nowhere to be and nothing to do but take care of yourself. 👀 Most medical treatments do not ask what makes you comfortable. The Spravato experience at Strive is designed around one thing: what makes you feel safe, calm, and at ease. Most people come in not knowing what to expect and leave wondering why they waited so long. Drop a comment and tell us what you would bring to fill your time. We are genuinely curious. If you have been wondering whether Spravato could be right for you, reach out through our website to start the conversation.
✨Therapist Tip with Amanda✨ Prior to my current Third Responder position, I spent 17 years working within both the criminal and social justice systems. From implementing a Veterans Treatment Court, to assisting with PREA implementation, to conducting Forensic Interviews, to responding to crisis on-call shift work for victims/survivors of violence, along with many other experiences, I deeply value this work and recognize the intricacies and challenges within these systems. Those unspoken thoughts? I hear you. Self-blame, guilt, shame, fear of judgement, and concerns about job security can feel isolating when your experiences are hard to explain or when people don’t want to hear them. Shift work? Mandatory OT? Invisible loads? Lived experience. “Come home safe.” Military and First Responder families know how deeply those 3 words hit. Healing does not happen in isolation. Feel free to reach out and schedule a free 15-minute interview if you’re interested in services. 💛 P.S. Stay tuned for questions to ask when seeking out a clinician who understands your needs. What’s one thing that helps you feel supported through stressful seasons? Let us know below ⬇️
Come brainspot with Amanda. 🧠✨ If your mind keeps looping on the same thoughts, your body holds tension you cannot explain, or you feel stuck in patterns that talking alone has not been able to shift, Brainspotting might be exactly what you have been looking for. Brainspotting works beneath the surface, below where language lives. Through the eyes and the nervous system, it helps you process what has been stored in places words cannot always reach. This is not about reliving anything. It is about being with it gently and safely, at your pace. If you are curious, reach out through our website to connect with Amanda at Strive CLE Counseling.
Walking into a room, looking up, making direct eye contact with the overhead lights, and immediately becoming a different and worse person. 😅 We’re not saying it is rational, but it is real! Sensory sensitivity is more common than most people realize and there is actually an explanation for why certain environments feel like a personal attack. Our therapists can help you make sense of it. Reach out through our website to get started. 💙
Intrusive thoughts are not a sign that something is wrong with you. They are a sign that your brain is working overtime. There are ways to work with that. Five things that genuinely help when your brain will not let something go: Name it without engaging it. “There’s that thought again.” You do not have to solve it or make it mean something. Do something with your hands. Folding laundry, cooking, drawing. A task pulls your brain out of the loop. Change your physical state. Cold water on your face, step outside, move your body. Your body can interrupt what your mind cannot. Set a worry window. Give yourself 10 minutes to think about it fully and then move on. Say it in the most boring voice possible. Flat. Monotone. No drama. Your brain holds on less tightly to things it cannot make feel urgent. If intrusive thoughts are running your day, our team can help. Reach out through our website to get started.
