Madison Backer, LCMHC-A
Hi! I'm Madison and I can be your therapist in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Let’s be direct and to the point. Here is a bit about me:

- Believes in mindfulness and self-care
I love working with anxious and depressed ADHD young adults.
➤ Is this you?
- You are a late diagnosis ADHD adult realizing that childhood was so much harder because you were never diagnosed. It is a lot to deal with, so you are feeling overwhelmed.
- You are diagnosed ADHD and/anxiety (or suspecting you are ADHD) and are wanting to learn more, be compassionate towards yourself, and find solutions that actually work for your neurodivergent brain
- You are needing support in work life balance and realize that ADHD makes it hard to juggle the next steps in life.
- Relationships for ADHD adults are hard. You want to learn how to improve communication and relationship skills before you think about marriage.You are an ADHD adult working through all of the challenging family dynamics that are made so much harder because you are also ADHD.
➤ How can I help?
- You are looking for a therapist that understands living with ADHD is full of judgment and sometimes you just need a listening ear as well as someone who can give direct advice.
- You are seeking coping strategies for all aspects of life but recognize that following through is the hardest part.
- You need someone that almost acts like an executive function coach, because let’s be honest, To Do lists are hard, and accountability partners can make a significant difference.
