Removing Barriers to
Therapy and Treatment
​
Keep It Short and Straighforward!
"ADHD wreaks havoc on relationships, productivity at work, and on individuals themselves. The barriers to treatment are vast with "old-school therapists" making it difficult or outright impossible for people suffering to access treatment. I am here to change this"
Is This You?
You know what you need to do, and you know that you need to do it. But why does it always feel like an uphill battle? Why do you wait untilt he last minute, then scramble to get things done, only to burn out and start the process all over again?
​
If you have ever had that lightbulb moment when you first learned what ADHD was, this is the moment where you find out what it is for you. There's a deeper reason behind the boom-and-bust cycles you're stuck in- and once you see it, everything changes.
What's Really Going On?
Life doesn’t have to be a constant battle. The reason you experience these cycles of overwork-burnout isn’t that you aren’t trying hard enough. It’s because you don't have an accurate diagnosis of your problems.
​
ADHD is both underdiagnosed and over-diagnosed. But there is a group of a people who suffer in silence because they don't want to feel like it is an excuse. Either that, or they have been turned away from treatment by medical professionals who didn't take the time to listen to what they have to say.
​
My name is Derrick Hoard and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. And in the state of Washington, I have the power to diagnose and treat ADHD. I have made it my mission to provide individuals with access to treatment through both my own personal therapy services and a referral network of psychiatrists and advanced practice nurse practitioners to help you get access to all available options.

Here's How It Works
Meet Sarah:
Access to Answers Changed Everything
Sarah is a tech professional who always knew she was capable but found herself stuck in a constant cycle of procrastination, last-minute rushes, and burnout. She was frustrated and overwhelmed, and despite all the tips about time management and productivity, nothing seemed to address the root of her struggles.
​
When Sarah finally sought support, she discovered what had been holding her back all along: undiagnosed ADHD. In our first session, we worked together to identify patterns in her childhood that had gone unnoticed. Through the assessment we discovered she had been given the label of gifted. She received enrichment, but did not receive the true support she needed that a diagnosis could bring.
​
Once Sarah had a diagnosis and began treatment. She better understood how her brain worked, we tailored strategies that fit her natural rhythm. With her newfound ability to focus we were able to identify patterns in her day she hadn’t noticed—like scheduling her most important tasks during her lowest energy times.
This was creating a cycle of procrastination, and by the time she started working, it was always under intense pressure. By adjusting her routine to align with her energy levels and incorporating breaks to recharge, Sarah began completing her work with ease. Within three sessions, she felt in control of her schedule and no longer drained by the constant struggle.
​
What Sarah Had to Say:
"Getting a diagnosis was life-changing. It helped me stop blaming myself and start working with how my mind works. I can’t believe the difference this has made!"
