About me

I'm Jesse Elan, a Psychological Counselor specializing in ADHD.

Life can be overwhelming, especially when you’re managing ADHD. I won’t pretend to know exactly what you're going through, but as someone who also lives with ADHD, I understand how it feels when your mind is wired differently.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, have been navigating ADHD for years, feel emotionally overwhelmed, or seek deeper personal growth, I'm here to support you in whichever way works best for you.

I invite you to book a free 20-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
Send me a message here or email me at: hello@jesseelan.com
and I will get back to you with my availability :)

Common starting points for clients:
- I'm constantly overthinking and analyzing everything I do.
- I feel like I can’t stop people-pleasing / I’m constantly masking to fit in.
- I feel like I need to change but don't know where to start.
- My ADHD is causing problems in my social life and relationships.
- I'm constantly procrastinating with my work.
- I feel like a failure. I can’t trust myself to get anything done.
- I feel isolated and lonely but don't really like being around people.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Narrative therapyGood for those who want to rewrite the way they view their life story and feel more empowered in their personal journey.
I don’t see ADHD as a disorder but rather as a different kind of brain that follows its own set of rules and can work remarkably well within them. I believe each of us is the expert on our own life. We’re all unique, with our own strengths, struggles, and blind spots, and what works for one person won’t necessarily work for you.

In our sessions, I draw from both traditional therapy and my own techniques, adapting to whatever feels right for you. This isn’t about “fixing” anything, because you're not broken. My goal is to help you understand your mind better, recognize your strengths, and feel more in control as you navigate your world.
