When Life Feels Harder Than It Should

You're giving your all — and it's not enough 😰

"Adult with ADHD or trauma response visibly distressed by disorganized child’s room, highlighting executive function struggles"

Even the strongest people burn out when they’re carrying too much. The weight of daily life, relationships, and hidden struggles leaves you exhausted and second-guessing yourself.

You may notice:

Juggling it all — home, work, school, and relationships until it all blurs together
People-pleasing and perfectionism running the show
Walking on eggshells, feeling misunderstood, and carrying resentment
✔ ADHD, Autism, or Trauma challenges making everything harder
Guilt and regret that never seem to let up

You’ve probably tried therapy before and left feeling frustrated — like they just didn’t get you.

what you want is clear!!

  • You want to feel calmer & more confident!

  • You want to be more connected to yourself and the people who matter most!

  • You want to trust that you're doing your best!

  • You want to stop living in crisis mode and start actively engaging in your life!

You are not broken — You are HUMAN!

AND YOU DESERVE TO BE HEARD!!

What Becomes Possible With The Right Support

From burnout and self-doubt to clarity, confidence, and connection.

Why This Work Matters To Me

Hey there, I’m Chris, the therapist behind Prebble Counseling Services.

I have more than 21 years supporting high-achieving teens, adults, families, and professionals navigating ADHD, Autism, and Trauma and helping them find their paths to calm, clarity, and connection.

This work is personal for me, too. I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and raised three kids with ADHD — one with Autism. I know how exhausting it is to hold it all together, and I’m here to remind you it doesn’t have to stay that way.

"I GET IT!"

Questions You Might Be Asking

Do you only work online?

Yes

- all sessions are held through a 100% secure, HIPAA-compliant, Telehealth (video) platform

What state do you work in?

I’m licensed in Pennsylvania and registered to provide telehealth in Florida and South Carolina.

How is your approach different from other therapists?

I offer a practical, experience-informed approach, grounded in 21+ years of work in the mental health field and my lived experience with ADHD. I focus on what actually works for your nervous system and daily life, not just “talking through problems.” Many clients tell me this is the first time therapy actually made sense.

Can you help if you have ADHD too?

Yes

— and that’s one reason many people feel at ease here. I was diagnosed as an adult after years of burnout and frustration. That experience helps me spot what others miss, and offer support without judgment or unrealistic expectations.

Can I do an ADHD assessment without starting therapy?

Yes

— some people come to me just for an assessment, while others already have a diagnosis and only want ongoing therapy. We’ll talk through your needs and decide together.

Do you only work with people who have ADHD or Autism?

Not at all.

I specialize in supporting people who’ve always felt “different,” overwhelmed, or misunderstood — whether or not there’s a formal diagnosis. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, stress, emotional reactivity, or parenting challenges.

Why don’t you take insurance; isn’t therapy expensive?

Therapy is an investment, and I understand it’s not always easy. I don’t work directly with insurance so I can provide care that’s private, individualized, and focused on what you actually need — not what a company says they’ll approve.

That said, many clients are still able to get reimbursement through Mentaya, a tool that makes submitting claims simple. I’ll walk you through your options during your consultation — I can check your benefits and submit claims for you, so you don’t have to deal with the paperwork stress.
