Mirela Frank, LCMHC

Certified ADHD Professional (ADHD-CCSP)

Hi, I’m Mirela and I can be your counselor in Charlotte, North Carolina

Here are a few things to know about me.

  • Trained in the CPS model by Dr. Ross Greene
  • I am fluent in Bulgarian and moved to the United States when I was 9.
  • I am an Ambivert
  • I lead one of our groups for ADHD and Autistic kids ages 9-12

I am passionate about working with parents and their ADHD children ages 5-11 who are angry or anxious. I love working on improving communication and the overall relationship with your child.

➤ Is this you?

  • Your child’s ADHD is overwhelming.  There is so much going on and you feel confused by everything you have read or been told.
  • Your child acts out and embarrasses you in front of your friends and family. You know the looks and whispers are them questioning your parenting. And honestly, you are too.
  • Your child doesn’t listen, won’t follow rules and seems to do things just to make you upset. You are beyond frustrated and nothing is working.
  • The anger is about everything. They are oppositional, and hit and kick you when they are mad… which is most of the time.
  • You have noticed your child is anxious, but you’re not quite sure about what.
  • You have tried everything and none of it works. You have exhausted all the options. If this doesn’t work you don’t know what else to do.
  • You feel like you have failed as a parent. You feel alone and confused.

➤ How can I help?

  • I teach kids about feelings and help them both understand and show them appropriately.
  • I support you in knowing your parenting options so that you remain in charge and no longer feel as if you have lost control of the home.
  • I teach communication skills that actually work for ADHD kids.
  • I teach you about the diagnosis- the stuff beyond the books, that actually helps your child succeed.
