The Therapist
@thetherapist
Good afternoon! I wanted to introduce myself here 👋🏼
I am a psychotherapist and my practice specializes in what I call the "creative conditions," namely: ADHD, Bipolar and substance use (although this tends to function more as a symptom of the other two) 🫠. These also happen to be 3 things I've dealt with in my own life, which is why I've come to focus on them and attract these clients, I imagine 🤔
Of course, creatives experience all manner of other conditions, but these two are very common among people who self identify as having creative careers (Cramond, 1994 // White, 2011 // Simeonova, 2005 // Jamison, 1989) 📑
Alongside my work, I have been perpetually frustrated by the way in which traditional, bureaucratic structures make it really challenging to get great mental health care if you have these conditions; it's very hard to navigate the current channels if you are neurodivergent... 2 replies
