New to Grow
Dr. Kyle Chaddick, PsyD, CPC | Neuro-affirming and Integrative Care. I specialize in neurodivergence (ADHD/autism), bipolar disorder, and PTSD. Using a holistic, neuroscience-informed approach, I help clients understand their brain and nervous system, build regulation skills, and recover from burnout. With over 15 years of experience, I focus on helping individuals move from survival mode to a more stable, consistent, and fulfilling way of living. My approach is both insight-driven and practical, helping you turn understanding into real, sustainable change in your daily life.
In our first session, the primary focus is getting comfortable and building a foundation for our work together. I aim to create an easy, conversational environment where you can feel at ease rather than pressured or “put on the spot.” We’ll go at a pace that feels manageable for you. We’ll spend time talking about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you’d like to get out of therapy. I’ll also ask some questions to better understand how you think, feel, and function day-to-day, including any patterns you’ve noticed. A key part of my approach is psychoeducation, so you can expect me to begin explaining how certain patterns may be connected to how your brain and nervous system work. My goal is to help you start making sense of your experiences early on, not just gather information. By the end of the first session, you should have a clearer understanding of how I work, feel more comfortable in the process, and begin to see a direction for where we’re heading together.
My greatest strength is my ability to bridge the gap between insight and real, measurable change. I don’t just help clients understand their challenges—I help them translate that understanding into practical strategies that improve how they function in daily life. My approach stands out because I integrate executive functioning skill development with a neuroscience and physiology-informed perspective. I help clients understand how their brain, nervous system, and stress responses are directly impacting their focus, motivation, emotional regulation, and behavior. This often reduces shame and frustration, allowing clients to approach change from a more informed and effective place. I am also highly collaborative and conversational in my style. Clients often find that therapy feels natural and engaging rather than overly clinical or rigid. At the same time, I provide structure, direction, and clear goals so that sessions remain productive and progress is tangible. Another key strength is my focus on patterns. I work with clients to identify recurring behavioral and emotional loops—especially those tied to ADHD, trauma, and high stress—and help them develop new, more adaptive responses. This includes building systems, routines, and conditioned responses that support long-term change, not just short-term insight. Overall, my approach is both insight-driven and action-oriented, combining clinical depth with practical tools so clients can see meaningful improvements in how they think, feel, and function.
I am best positioned to work with individuals who struggle with executive functioning challenges, emotional regulation, and feeling “stuck” despite wanting to make meaningful changes. Many of my clients present with ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, or high levels of stress that impact their ability to plan, prioritize, initiate tasks, and follow through consistently. As a Clinical Professional Counselor (CPC) with doctoral-level training (PsyD and PhD), my approach combines practical, evidence-based therapy with a strong foundation in brain and behavior science. I utilize a neuropsychotherapy-informed perspective to help clients understand the connection between their brain, body, and behavior. Rather than focusing only on thoughts or feelings, we explore how your nervous system, stress response, and underlying neurobiology are shaping your focus, motivation, emotional reactions, and daily functioning. This perspective is especially helpful for clients who feel frustrated by inconsistency or patterns they “can’t seem to fix.” Instead of viewing these challenges as personal failures, I help clients reframe them as brain-based processes that can be understood, regulated, and improved with the right strategies and systems. I work well with clients who are curious, open to learning, and motivated to better understand themselves, even if they feel overwhelmed or discouraged. Many of the individuals I support might be internally struggling—feeling disorganized, reactive, mentally overloaded, or inconsistent in their ability to follow through. In therapy, we focus on building practical systems, improving cognitive flexibility, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing new patterns that align with your goals. Whether you're looking to improve productivity, reduce emotional reactivity, navigate relationships more effectively, or gain a deeper understanding of how your brain works, I provide a structured, collaborative, and neuroscience-informed approach that is both insight-driven and action-oriented.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core framework to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. In my practice, I focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, cognitive distortions, and automatic reactions that contribute to distress. I work collaboratively with clients to challenge these patterns and replace them with more adaptive, realistic perspectives. CBT in my work is not just about “thinking differently,” but about creating measurable behavioral changes that improve functioning, emotional regulation, and decision-making in everyday life.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is a foundational part of my approach. I believe clients benefit from understanding why they feel and react the way they do. I regularly incorporate neuroscience-informed explanations to help clients make sense of their symptoms, including how the brain, nervous system, and past experiences shape current behavior. This approach reduces shame, increases insight, and empowers clients to take an active role in their treatment. I tailor psychoeducation to each client’s level of understanding so it feels practical, relevant, and immediately applicable.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients shift attention from problems to actionable change. Rather than staying stuck analyzing difficulties, I guide clients in identifying strengths, exceptions, and small, realistic steps that move them toward their goals. This approach is especially helpful for building momentum and increasing a sense of control. In my practice, I integrate solution-focused strategies with other modalities to create forward movement while still addressing underlying patterns when needed.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-Centered Therapy is central to how I build the therapeutic relationship. I prioritize creating a space where clients feel genuinely understood, respected, and supported without judgment. I use empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard to help clients explore their experiences safely. This foundation allows clients to develop greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence in their own decision-making. Even when using more structured approaches, I maintain a person-centered stance to ensure therapy remains collaborative and individualized.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help clients improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. In my practice, DBT is highly practical and skills-based. I teach clients how to manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and navigate relationships more effectively. I also emphasize the balance between acceptance and change—helping clients validate their experiences while building the skills needed to respond differently. DBT is particularly useful for clients who experience emotional dysregulation, reactivity, or difficulty managing stress.
