I have been seeing Dr. Kessen for at least a year at this point regarding my ADHD, anxiety, and depression. She is excellent. (for further context, I am an AMAB/male in my mid 20s) Dr. Kessen has consistently been attentive, helpful, concise, and an absolute wealth of knowledge. She clearly earned every single one of her credentials for good reason - calling her experienced and intelligent would be an understatement, and I'd strongly recommend her to anyone who shares any of my conditions. Given my experience, I'm sure she can treat everything else listed here and on LifeStance's website just as well.
