Getting to know Hector Saavedra

Hi there, I'm Hector! I help men and adults with late-identified ADHD understand themselves more deeply, overcome years of self-criticism, and build genuine confidence rooted in self-awareness rather than pressure or perfectionism. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients can gain clarity, develop practical coping skills, and create lasting My focus I work with adults who've spent years wondering why life feels harder than it seems for everyone else, only to discover that ADHD may be part of the answer. Together, we'll explore the patterns that have been holding you back, reduce the feeling of self-doubt and feeling of being overwhelmed, and learn tools needed to create a more fulfilling life. My approach Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and personalized. I provide a space to explore challenges, gain insight into recurring patterns, and develop practical skills that help you move toward the life and relationships you want. My communication style I tailor my communication style to each client. Some clients benefit from a warm and supportive approach, while others appreciate more direct feedback and accountability. My goal is to meet you where you are and create a therapeutic experience that feels both supportive and productive. My journey to mental healthcare Since high school, I've been someone people turned to for support and meaningful conversations. That passion led me to become a therapist. My journey has included working with college students, underserved youth, undocumented children, and now adults seeking growth, healing, and lasting change. My goals for you I help clients identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic to them. Throughout therapy, we regularly check in on progress, explore barriers that may arise, and adjust our approach as needed to support continued growth and lasting change. Our first session The first session is focused on understanding your story, current concerns, and goals for therapy.
