147 - Dr. Shane Calhoun AMAZING Convo on Dopamine, Serotonin, ADHD, and Depression!

I was so fortunate to be educated by the great Dr. Shane Calhoun of Calhoun Counseling Services. He explains the neurochemicals better than I've ever heard and he simplifies it perfectly for my skull spaghetti. Dr. Shane Calhoun is a Clinical Health Psychologist who specializes in Adult ADHD. He has several masters degrees and graduated with his doctorate from Loma Linda University in 2012. He has been licensed for over a decade and in the last year he left his position as the Training Director at Cal Poly Humboldt to invest in the neurodiverse community through his private practice. He has been guest host on both radio and podcasts helping people in the neurodiverse community advance on their own personal wellness journeys. You can find more information about him on his profile on Psychology Today.He also runs ADHD counseling groups and one is starting on the 9th of July. They will be accepting new members into the foreseeable future and would love it if you reached out. Enrollment is ongoing so check in at any time. If a group fills up, he will form a new one. His Psychology Today profile will have more information on how you can contact him as well as his personal website at CalhounCounselingServices.comMore from Dr. Shane: I have been a good fit for individuals looking for a supportive space to address anxiety and depression, needing movement in developing new coping strategies, seeking a deeper level of wellness and balance, or identity development. I have often found that I work well with those who have found therapy unhelpful in the past and are looking to give it another try. I also recognize that counseling is a different experience for those who identify as ADHD or ASD. The neuro-diverse culture is an area that I have experience in and that I find meaningful to work with.Some difficulties are a necessary part of our journey to live meaningfully, but not all of them. We can let go of unhelpful ways of coping and create new habits, making this journey more meaningful and goal oriented. Each story is unique and no solution universal. I look forward to hearing your unique experience so we can explore what wellness means for you.If you are curious about whether we are a good fit, let's have a 15 minute consultation and figure that out together.**************************************Try the FREE ADHD Big Brother Episode Finder!  Type in your struggle, get two matching episodes.
