If you're stuck in a career that doesn't fit, navigating a major life change, or trying to move

forward when a disability or health challenge has made the path less clear, I get it. I've spent

over a decade helping people work through exactly that. I work with adolescents and adults who

are dealing with career uncertainty, employment barriers, life transitions, and the anxiety and

depression that often come with feeling stuck. My background includes working directly with

individuals with diverse abilities and needs, and I've partnered with schools, employers, and

community organizations, so I understand the systems you're navigating, not just the feelings.

Mikayla Phan

Mikayla Phan

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing virtual ADHD therapy for individuals, couples, and families struggling with overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, relationship stress, and chronic follow-through difficulties.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years as a Life Coach and ADHD Coach, studying and working exclusively with one condition: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). That experience gave me firsthand insight into how deeply ADHD can affect confidence, relationships, emotional regulation, organization, and everyday functioning over time.

This foundation allows me to help individuals, couples, and families address the emotional and relational patterns that often develop after years of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, disorganized, or mentally overloaded. My work centers on helping individuals, couples, and families better understand how ADHD affects emotions, relationships, and everyday life so they can move forward with greater clarity and self-understanding.
