Online Mental Health Counseling For Adults Experiencing ADHD, Addictions, Anxiety and more.
Our Advantage
We specialize in working with adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); anxiety; trauma; work-life balance, as well as with individuals who have a history of substance misuse, are in active long-term recovery, or are sober curious (wondering if they need to stop drinking/using)
ADDvantage Counseling, LLC. has embraced the secrets of the dandelion since its incorporation in 2016. Dandelion is French for ‘Tooth of the Lion’, as the leafy parts of this wildflower are jagged like a lion’s tooth.
Dandelions are so much more than pesky weeds.
They have one long, central root (a tap root) which helps it to hold fast to soil and stabilize not only itself, but the grass and other flowers around it.
More than anything, the dandelion symbolizes tenacity.
You can mow them down or spray them away but they always come back stronger; as if to say – ‘I can still smile and shine bright despite what I’ve been through and I can be stable and serene.’

Online Therapy Sessions
We’re dedicated to matching you with a skilled mental health professional who truly gets you and what you’re going through.
The ability to meet from anywhere (so long as you are in your home state) allows for more flexibility in scheduling sessions.
It also allows for trauma related work to be done in the comfort of your own home or safe space. You can be surrounded by things that give you comfort and even have your pets in session with you.
Acceptance
The most common misconception clients have about getting started with counseling, is that they need to come prepared and that whatever it is they’re ‘doing’, it’s somehow wrong.
Truly, all you need to do is show up. We’ve got you! Your counselor will begin your first session by listening to you and how you learn best. This is all about you and meeting your needs.
Agency
We know what it’s like to feel helpless and out of control in core areas of our lives. That’s why it’s so important to us that you learn that even in your sessions, you have the right to let us know if/when something isn’t working for you.
We’re trained and licensed, but you know yourself best. Feel free to respectfully push back. And know that we’re going to provide you with the resources and skills you need to feel more in control of your life and relationships.
Action
This doesn’t mean you need to jump to make major life changes. Action can also be about active listening and the ways we validate your experiences.
It also means that when you’re ready to take steps towards your therapy goals (also referred to as a treatment plan), you’ll feel prepared because we’ll be right there with you – encouraging you to practice concrete skills you’ve learned in therapy.

WE ARE ALL INFLUENCERS
“I wanted to thank you for all you’ve done to help me grow over these last few years.
From new relationships to major career moves and all the fears and hopes in between, you’ve served as a steady and empathetic teacher, guiding me into loving myself a little more each day.
As hard as it’ll be to say goodbye to our biweekly sessions, I know I’ll keep hearing your voice in my head when things get hard, reminding me to take a breath, to take a break and to take it easier on myself.
There’s no way to measure how much you’ve done for me.”
– Emily, 3 Year Client
