Meet Krissa Gordon, LPC
ADHD, Executive Function & Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapist
You Don't Need to Become Someone Else—
You Need Permission to Become More Yourself.
Life can feel exhausting when you're constantly trying to keep up with expectations that were never designed for the way your mind works.
Maybe you've spent years wondering why organization feels harder for you than it seems to for everyone else. Maybe you're the person with a thousand incredible ideas but struggle to finish projects. Maybe you're constantly overwhelmed, burned out, or convinced you're "too much" or "not enough."
Krissa doesn't see those experiences as flaws to fix.
She sees them as invitations to better understand yourself.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and Executive Function/ADHD Coach, Krissa helps adults untangle years of self-criticism and replace it with self-understanding. As someone who discovered her own ADHD later in life, she understands firsthand how transformative it can be to finally have language for experiences that once felt confusing or isolating.
Her goal isn't to help you become more like everyone else.
It's to help you build a life that actually works for you.
Whether you're navigating ADHD, executive functioning challenges, anxiety, trauma, burnout, identity exploration, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, Krissa creates a therapeutic experience that honors your individuality while helping you develop practical tools for everyday life.
Therapy Should Feel Like Coming Home to Yourself
Many people begin therapy believing they need someone to "fix" them.
Krissa believes something very different.
She believes healing begins when you stop fighting who you are and start getting curious about yourself.
Sessions with Krissa are thoughtful conversations filled with compassion, insight, practical strategies, and moments of discovery. Some days you'll process difficult experiences. Other days you'll laugh. Sometimes you'll sit quietly with emotions you've never had permission to feel.
There is no expectation to perform.
No pressure to have the right words.
No need to mask parts of yourself.
Instead, therapy becomes a place where your nervous system can finally exhale.
More Than ADHD: Understanding the Whole Person
While Krissa is known for her work with ADHD and executive functioning, she understands that people are far more complex than a diagnosis.
Her therapeutic approach recognizes that mental health, physical wellness, creativity, relationships, spirituality, and identity are deeply connected.
She frequently works with adults experiencing:
ADHD and Executive Function Challenges
Late-Diagnosed ADHD
Neurodivergent Burnout
Anxiety
Trauma Recovery
LGBTQ+ Affirming Care
Highly Sensitive Individuals
Identity Exploration
Self-Esteem
Life Transitions
Emotional Overwhelm
Perfectionism
Creative Professionals
Burnout and Compassion Fatigue
Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?"
Krissa asks,
"What happened to you—and what strengths have helped you survive?"
A Different Kind of Therapy
One of the things that makes Krissa's work unique is her ability to blend traditional psychotherapy with creativity, mindfulness, expressive arts, existential exploration, and holistic wellness.
Depending on your needs, therapy may include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Psychodynamic Therapy
Expressive Arts
Mindfulness Practices
Existential Exploration
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Executive Function Coaching
Animal-Assisted Therapy
Humanistic Counseling
No two therapy journeys look exactly alike because no two people do.
Meet Louie: Your Four-Legged Therapy Assistant
Healing doesn't always begin with words.
Sometimes it begins with a wagging tail.
Louie, Krissa's miniature Aussiedoodle and therapy dog in training, has a remarkable ability to help clients feel calm, welcomed, and at ease. Whether he's quietly curled up nearby or offering a comforting nudge, Louie helps create an environment where many clients—especially those experiencing anxiety or overwhelm—feel safer opening up. He is currently working toward therapy dog certification while continuing his training alongside Krissa.
