Getting to know Kelly Donovan
I specialize in the treatment of adult ADHD. The clients I work with often struggle with follow-through, low self-esteem, or a lack of focus that impacts their well-being and relationships. Many experience frustration with themselves and negative thoughts such as ?I should be able to do this.?
I utilize CBT and DBT, along with other forms of treatment. I have experience working with diverse populations across multiple backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and ages. I often work with clients diagnosed with ADHD or those who have general difficulty focusing during sessions. I also see clients with mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, and anger management challenges. I allow my clients to set a comfortable pace as I assist them in working toward their personal goals.
I thrive on finding individualized approaches to therapy. Since each client is unique with different needs, I keep my approach flexible by first getting to know them and then collaborating to find the interventions that work best for them personally.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Chicago, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to provide effective, compassionate care tailored to each individual.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by adults with ADHD. I take a compassionate, collaborative, and personalized approach to therapy. Together, we’ll develop strategies tailored to your needs—whether that means managing ADHD symptoms, improving focus, navigating workplace or relationship challenges, or building emotional regulation skills. I draw from evidence-based practices and offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s getting in the way and begin moving toward lasting change. My goal is to empower you with practical tools and insight to help you thrive in your daily life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Before beginning therapy sessions with me, I offer a free 15-20 minute consultation with the client to conduct a brief assesment, answer any questions a client might have, and discuss with the client whether therapy with me is the right fit for them.
Once it is decided between both myself and the client to proceed with therapy sessions, the client and I will discuss schedules then set a time for weekly (or bi-weekly) sessions.
I will email clients forms regarding consents to therapy and insurance information for the client to complete prior to the first session. The first 2-3 sessions will be gathering information about the client, diagnosing the client, and then putting together a personal treatment plan of what the client wants to achieve through therapy. Then we begin meeting for regular sessions and working towards achieving the goals set by the client in their treatment plan.
