Consulting Group Professional Opportunity
We will begin talking with professionals in Fall 2025 for cohort training in 2026. If you are interested in talking with ADHD & Marriage about a future cohort (Fall '25 and beyond) please read further. We are interested in talking with professional coaches and counselors who already work with adults with ADHD who might be interested in participating in her ADHD & Marriage Consulting practice. The program includes twelve months of professional education and practice support with Melissa and her team of trained professionals. To qualify, you must have been working with adults with ADHD or couples impacted by ADHD for at least 4 years. If you wish to talk with Melissa about this opportunity to see if you might be a good fit, please complete this form.
Note: If you work in an IFS methodology we are particularly interested in speaking with you, though all backgrounds are considered.

Aids for Your Counseling Work
Is ADHD Impacting Your Relationship? information sheet. Download this handout for your waiting room or to give to those who might need it.
Seminar for couples complements your work: Many counselors recommend Melissa's books to their patients and clients as a great way to get conversations started about ADHD and its impact on the couple's relationship. In addition, counselors also recommend the live or recorded couples seminars to help 'jumpstart' the ADHD conversation and help both partners move beyond denial so that they may begin more productive therapy. If you have any questions about whether the course might be appropriate for your own patients, or if you wish to hear a sample of the course, please contact Melissa.
