Dr. Maya Chen

Psy.D.

Clinical Psychologist & Neurodiversity Specialist

I'm a clinical psychologist who specializes in adult ADHD and neurodivergent brains. I was diagnosed with ADHD myself at 28 — right in the middle of my doctoral program — so I understand the experience from both sides of the couch. I've spent 11 years helping adults who've been told they're 'lazy' or 'not living up to their potential' finally understand how their brain actually works.
