Life can feel heavy. Whether you're navigating anxiety that never seems to quiet down, processing a loss, working through trauma, or simply feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, therapy can be a place to breathe, reflect, and begin to heal. I'm Claire, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a warm, collaborative approach to therapy. I work with adults who are ready to do meaningful inner work — not because something is "wrong" with them, but because they deserve support, clarity, and a space that is entirely theirs. My work is rooted in compassion and curiosity. I believe healing happens in relationships, and I take the trust my clients place in me seriously. Together, we'll go at a pace that feels right for you — no rushing, no judgment, and no pressure to show up as anything other than yourself.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Louisville, KY


I am a seasoned psychotherapist and psychiatric provider with nearly two decades of experience in the behavioral health field. After earning a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2006, I became licensed by the Kentucky Board of Social Work. I also hold national certification in case management (CCMC), am a licensed supervisory-level addictions specialist (CADAC-IV) through the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium, and a licensed marriage and family therapist through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).

My academic journey continued with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University, specializing in integrated medical and behavioral health services, followed by a Post-Doctorate Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I further expanded my scope of practice through a Master’s Entry in Professional Nursing (BSN & MSN) from the University of Louisville in 2020, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Northern Kentucky University in 2021, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Duke University. I am board certified as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, licensed to prescribe and manage medications.

In addition to clinical practice, I have led multidisciplinary teams and supervised clinical operations, enhancing quality of care, staff development, and patient outcomes across diverse systems. I am deeply committed to lifelong learning and delivering compassionate, evidence-based, integrative care to individuals and families in both Kentucky and Indiana.

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 Lexington, KY

Finding ADHD therapists in Lexington starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, or support with planning and follow-through. Medication management is a separate service offered by psychiatrists and other qualified prescribers, and some people use therapy, medication management, or both. If you are searching for an ADHD specialist for adults, ADHD counseling, or support for a child or teen, look for a therapist whose profile lists ADHD experience with the age group and concerns that match your needs.

In a mid-sized city like Lexington, you may find a useful mix of local therapists and virtual options across the area. In-person appointments may work well if you prefer an office setting, while virtual sessions can expand your search beyond nearby offices and make scheduling easier. ADHD can also appear alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, work stress, or school challenges, so it can help to choose a therapist with experience across those areas. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on approach, availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

ADHD therapy in Lexington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare therapists by specialty, appointment format, and availability, then book directly when you find a fit.

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.
