What I treat · ADHD · Cleveland
ADHD therapy for Cleveland, Wisconsin, in person or by telehealth.
ADHD therapy for Cleveland adults and college students, with Wisconsin-licensed Amber Miller, MSed., LPC. Telehealth from home or the dorm, in-person at the Superior office. Most insurance accepted, including BadgerCare and Medicaid.
Cleveland is a small village in Manitowoc County on Lake Michigan, midway between Sheboygan and Manitowoc. Lakeshore Technical College's main campus is here and draws students from the surrounding lakeshore corridor. Telehealth from a dorm, apartment, or home in the lakeshore towns works the same way it does anywhere else in eastern Wisconsin.
What ADHD therapy looks like
Before I was a therapist I spent more than ten years teaching in K-12 schools. I have watched what ADHD does to a kid who is otherwise bright, who gets called lazy in fourth grade and starts believing it by ninth. I have also watched what happens when the same person leaves the routines of school and tries to build a life with no syllabus. Most of the adults I see with ADHD did fine until something (a job change, college, a new baby, a move) removed the external scaffolding that had been doing half the work.
ADHD therapy with me is not a pill, and it does not replace one. Most of my ADHD clients are also on medication, and that is the right call for many but not all. What I add is a regular conversation about the parts of your life that medication does not touch: the shame stacked on top of the missed deadlines, the relationships that have absorbed the brunt of the disorganization, the version of yourself you keep promising you will become in January.
What we work on
The work splits into roughly three areas. We can do any of them or all three.
- Executive function and the practical scaffolding around it (calendars, task systems, the parts that don't require willpower)
- Emotional regulation, including rejection sensitivity, irritability, and the all-or-nothing mood swings
- The story you carry about yourself from being undiagnosed for a long time, which is often the heaviest piece
How sessions work for Cleveland clients
Cleveland is too far from the Superior office for regular in-person sessions, so this is a telehealth-only relationship. That works as well for this kind of work as in-person. We pick a regular weekly slot and keep it.
If you are at a college in or near Cleveland
Cleveland and the surrounding area is home to Lakeshore Tech. I see students from each, regardless of which campus you are on. Telehealth from a dorm or apartment works the same way it works from home. Sessions are confidential. The full angle on student work is on the college student page.
Insurance and cost in Cleveland
Wisconsin BadgerCare, Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial insurance in Cleveland are in-network. Out-of-pocket is $125 per 50 minutes session. Full detail on the insurance and fees page.
What to do next
If this read like something you recognize, the next step is to schedule the consultation or intake session. The free 15 minutes consult gives us both a sense of whether we would work well together before you book the first paid session. Text, call, or use the form, whichever is easiest.
