ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Minnesota

I am a clinical licensed therapist with two years of experience with ADHD, Autism, and Trauma. I got my Master’s and social work from Simmons College and Bachelors of Psychology from University of MN Twin Cities. I specialize in working with kids 0-17 but also work closely with families! I am certified in Child Parent Psychotherapy and the Early Start Denver Model for kids with Autism and ADHD.

Emotional exhaustion can look like functioning.

You may be the person others depend on while quietly feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. At Milton’s Place Counseling, therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, process what you are carrying, and identify practical next steps. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and major life transitions. You do not have to wait until you are in crisis to seek support.

If anxiety, depression, grief, or ongoing stress are making daily life feel harder, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with adolescents, adults, and families who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Many parents seek support when they notice changes in their teen’s mood, behavior, school functioning, or communication, while adults often come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, or weighed down by life transitions and relationship stress.

Sometimes it feels like you're carrying more than anyone else realizes. Anxiety, depression, painful experiences, parenting responsibilities, cultural expectations, or major life changes can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted and unsure of how to move forward. You may be taking care of everyone else while struggling to care for yourself. You don't have to keep doing it alone. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress management, panic disorder, cultural and ethnic issues, and trauma so they can build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create a greater sense of balance and confidence in their everyday lives. Working with adolescents, adults, and families, I strive to create a compassionate, culturally responsive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to grow. Over the past ten years, I’ve had the joy of working with wonderful, diverse communities—from LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC individuals to those navigating mental illness, homelessness, and co-occurring challenges. As a child of immigrants myself, I truly understand the cultural barriers around mental health. I’m here to help break down those walls and create a warm, safe space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported.

I earned my Master of Arts degree in psychology with a focus on marriage and family therapy to pursue my passion for helping others navigate life's challenges, achieve personal growth, and heal. My education and training have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide effective, evidence-based therapy to my clients.

Alex McLeod holds an MSW, and LICSW and was a top graduate at Saint Catherine University Master’s program. He was featured in IMPAAKT Magazine’s cover story topping the list for most influential mental health leaders of 2024. He has a 7 year career working in human service including therapy-based shelter care, corrections work with felony level teens, probation, experience with the Minnesota Board of Public Defense, and 5 years outpatient therapy experience. Alex also teaches a university class on the correlations between anatomy and pathologically violent behaviors.

Alex sees a wide range of cases normally involving PTSD and mood disorders, including but not limited to: Anxiety Disorders, Depression, PTSD, Bipolar 1 & 2 Disorders, and ADHD accompanied by behavioral and emotion dysregulation issues. The symptoms that his clients may experience include debilitating anxiety, which in many instances presents as feeling paralyzed and unable to move forward, excessive fear and worry, describing that they feel as if they are “going crazy,” ruminating and playing negative imagery repeatedly, sometimes becoming emotionally reactive in the form of excessive anger, crying fits, and emotional breakdowns. Often these issues may lead to disrupted social, familial, and romantic relationships which become chaotic, tense, or distrusting. For these reasons, he also sees individuals who have partners experiencing such symptoms, as well as those who are experiencing breakups or divorce. It is not uncommon for Alex to see clients who have experienced traumatic backgrounds, or difficult family upbringing.
