Hastings Psychological Services, PLLC

Calling all anxious folks struggling with frequent worries, "what if" thoughts, intrusive thoughts or images, or feeling like you are always trying to manage or control your anxiety: relief is possible! I specialize in working with college students with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, procrastination, and high-pressure academic or occupational environments. My guess is that if you struggle with these, you have been working VERY hard to feel better. I would love to work with you to develop new, evidence-backed strategies to respond to your anxiety and find relief.

I also specialize in helping adults with ADHD and executive functioning difficulties. Executive functioning is a broad term referring to the higher-level cognitive abilities of planning, organization, time management, attention, working memory, emotion regulation, flexible thinking, shifting attention, behavioral inhibition, task initiation, self-monitoring, and self-awareness. We all have varied profiles of cognitive strengths and weaknesses and for some folks, executive functions are more challenging. Performing these tasks can be especially difficult for someone with ADHD or autism. The good news is that there are skills that can be developed and strategies to employ in order to increase functioning in these areas. There are also some amazing superpowers that can come along with ADHD and autism. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults with executive functioning difficulties find and capitalize on their strengths, increase functioning in weaker areas, and make the functional changes necessary to thrive in their best life.

I believe in a therapeutic relationship that is safe, affirming, and collaborative. Together, we will focus on your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to identify areas to intervene, learn skills, and find relief from anxiety. I approach clients with curiosity, flexibility, and acceptance- and I will encourage you to approach yourself the same way.
