ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Louisville, KY

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and compassion. Over the course of my career, I’ve supported clients across the lifespan — from prenatal and postpartum care to adolescent and adult mental health, family systems work, and support for individuals facing chronic illness or end‐of‐life transitions.

My clinical specialties include:

• Anxiety and depressive disorders
• Trauma and PTSD
• Chronic medical conditions and chronic pain
• Substance use and co‐occurring diagnoses

My background spans IOP/PHP programs, outpatient behavioral health, medical social work, and veteran services. This range of experience allows me to take a holistic, collaborative approach that considers the full context of a person’s life — their health, relationships, environment, and strengths.

At the heart of my work is a belief that therapy should feel grounding, supportive, and empowering. I strive to create a space where you can show up as you are, explore what’s weighing on you, and build the tools you need to move forward with confidence and self‐compassion.

If you’re looking for a therapist who brings experience, steadiness, and genuine partnership to the process, I’d be honored to support you

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, transitions, and moments that can feel overwhelming or uncertain. I work with clients who may be navigating anxiety, stress, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of their next step.

My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. Whether you're processing something specific or just know that things don’t feel quite right, we’ll work together to make sense of what you’re experiencing and move toward meaningful change.

Hello, I’m Dr. Rebecca Pender Baum, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist with over 18 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan. I work with clients navigating everyday stress, anxiety, unexpected life transitions, and both current and past traumatic experiences. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking greater clarity and balance, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and move forward with intention.

Hi, I’m a therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to feel stiff, awkward, or like you’re sitting in a room being judged by someone holding a clipboard.

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and often sprinkled with humor—because sometimes we need to laugh so we don’t fall apart, and sometimes we just need to laugh while we’re putting ourselves back together.

I specialize in working with people who don’t fit neatly into one diagnostic box—folks with dual diagnoses, complex histories, depression that doesn’t budge easily, and the “I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help” crowd. If you’ve been called “a lot,” “too much,” or “hard to treat,” you’re exactly my kind of person.

What therapy with me feels like:

Safe, supportive, and human—not clinical and cold

A place where you can be messy, honest, sarcastic, or quiet

Collaborative, with plenty of gentle challenge when you need it

Rooted in evidence-based strategies, but delivered in a way that feels real and doable

I’m an LCSW with five years experience in the field. I received my BA and MSW from NKU. I primarily focus on delivering therapy to neurodivergent, adolescent and LGBTQIA+ populations.

Hello and congratulations for taking the first and sometimes hardest step of looking for a therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of IN, KY LA, MO, NV, TX, WA and WV. I have the great privilege of working with adolescents and adults seeking assistance in improving their overall mental health and associated challenges. I’ve been in the behavioral health arena for over 40 years and have held numerous direct care and clinical leadership roles in a variety of settings. My joy comes from helping people navigate life's challenges.

As an an expert in relationships and sexual intimacy, as well as life's harder moments, when things feel bleak or it is hard to trust that things will work out again, I am here for you. I am empathic, patient, thoughtful, challenging, and an out of the box thinker offering a steady hand to steer you toward your highest path. I am driven by your goals and act as an accountability partner and friendly ally on your journey to seek pleasure, change, and empowerment. I believe there is opportunity in crisis (big and small) and that you are here because you know what it is you need. Let me help you recover your true SELF.

I became a therapist because I believe our struggles deserve to be understood, not just fixed. Too often, people come to therapy feeling like a problem to be solved or a checklist to work through, and that's exactly what I want to push back against. My goal is to help you feel more human, not more clinical.

I earned my Master's in Social Work from Northern Kentucky University in 2014 and hold a certificate in ADHD treatment. I work with adults navigating ADHD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder, and I bring both professional training and personal familiarity to these areas. I know this stuff isn't abstract. It shows up in real life, in real ways, every day.

I am skilled in helping others overcome traumatic experiences and life events. Within this journey I want you to feel empowered during times that traditionally that power has been taken away from you.

One of my favorite quotes is, "Knowing yourself is the beginning of all Wisdom" by Aristotle and "The Purpose of Psychotherapy is to set people Free" by Rollo May, these quotes are certainly true when choosing psychotherapy. I understand that finding the right therapist is a individual and unique decision that begins by looking at your own needs and preferences. Challenges are a normal part of living and overcoming these challenges means we sometimes need to take a path of looking within and choose personal growth.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor's in Communication from Spalding University, a Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from Spalding University, and a second Master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from Campbellsville University.
