Cindi Lane-Pompa

Cindi Lane-Pompa

Therapist

Virtual • California


I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults (ADHD, autism), LGBTQIA individuals, and those navigating chronic illness, burnout, and perimenopause or menopause. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like nothing they’ve tried has worked.

You might feel like you’re constantly “too much” and “not enough” at the same time, or like simple things take more energy than they should. That’s not a personal failure—it’s a sign that your brain and body need different kinds of support.

With over twelve years of experience, I offer therapy that is warm, affirming, and practical. I help clients reduce overwhelm, build coping tools that actually work, and better understand how their brain and body function.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you build a life that works for you.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in San Diego

Finding ADHD therapists in San Diego starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function, planning, time management, emotional regulation, or cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD. Medication management is a separate type of care offered by psychiatrists and other qualified prescribers, and some people look for therapy, medication support, or both. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also call for different experience, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your age, goals, and day-to-day concerns.

San Diego has many ADHD therapists across neighborhoods like Hillcrest, North Park, La Jolla, Mission Valley, and Downtown, which can make narrowing your search take more time. Consider practical fit alongside specialty, including appointment availability, whether the therapist offers in-person or virtual sessions, and whether they have experience with concerns that often appear alongside ADHD, such as anxiety or depression. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and whether they mention ADHD testing, ADHD evaluation, or support for diagnosis-related questions.

ADHD therapy in San Diego can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual and in-person options. You can browse therapist profiles, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
