Welcome to Conscious Therapy Connections
If you've spent years trying to meet impossible standards, constantly feeling like you're falling short despite your best efforts, your ADHD brain might finally have the answers you've been seeking.
Here, we transform "What's wrong with me?" into "This is how my unique brain works.
Therapy in Illinois + Consulting anywhere
If you were diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I help you make sense of all the stuff that never quite added up. We’ll unpack what looked like personal failures and finally see them for what they really are: ADHD patterns. From there, we’ll ditch the masking and start building systems (and self-compassion) that actually work for your brain.

Does this sound familiar?
• You've always felt "different" but couldn't quite explain how
• You developed elaborate systems to appear organized while chaos reigned beneath the surface
• You're high-achieving in many areas but struggle with seemingly "simple" tasks
• You've been called "too sensitive," "too much," or "scatterbrained"
• Your diagnosis brought both relief and grief
These experiences are common among people diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood. The constant adapting and masking often leads to burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. Therapy can help you understand these patterns and develop a new relationship with your neurodivergent mind.
At Conscious Therapy Connections, we honor the layered, intersecting identities that shape who you are. You are not “too much” or “too complicated” here. We know that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—and we welcome the whole of you.

Supporting Fellow Therapists

Meet the FounderSamantha Skvaril, MA, LCPC, ADHD-CCSP
I am a down-to-earth, relatable therapist who brings humor, authenticity, and a nonjudgmental space to therapy. I believe healing happens in connection, and having an empathic other to truly see and understand you is a key part of that process. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and experiences that have shaped you—not to pathologize, but to bring more clarity, self-compassion, and choice.
As an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP)—and someone with lived experience of late-diagnosed ADHD—I know how ADHD can show up in women, and how exhausting it is to spend years building coping strategies without knowing why you needed them. I combine specialized training with real-world experience, using evidence-based ADHD strategies and trauma-informed care to help you tackle both the practical challenges and the emotional weight of the journey.
Quick, practical support-right at your fingertips.
