Cheryl Browne, PhD

ADHD Coach

Developmental Psychologist

Who Dr. Cheryl Works Best With

I work best with adults who are navigating ADHD or AuDHD later in life and want to create meaningful change with clarity and compassion.

Many of my clients are creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals — often late-diagnosed or 40+ — who are ready to let go of old narratives and begin embracing their neurodivergence.

I especially support individuals with both ADHD and autistic traits who are seeking balance, integration, and self-acceptance.

My Journey: From Struggle to Clarity, From Clarity to Growth

For much of my life, I experienced the tension of brilliance mixed with struggle—moving through academia, mindfulness, and personal discovery while also navigating the challenges of ADHD. It wasn’t until later that the pieces began to fit together, allowing me to see my own patterns with clarity and compassion.

 

I often sum up this journey in a haiku I wrote:

Half a century
Of brokenness and brilliance;
And now, clear seeing.

​

This “clear seeing” is what led me to ADHD coaching. My path as a developmental psychologist, mindfulness practitioner, and now coach reflects both the science and the lived experience of what it means to build a life that works with your brain, not against it. My story is one of integrating these threads—academic research, contemplative wisdom, and personal experience—into a practice devoted to helping others transform their challenges into sources of resilience, creativity, and strength.

​

Now, I help my clients find their own “clear seeing”—a deeper understanding of themselves that unlocks growth, balance, and new possibilities.
