Revolutionizing ADHD Care for Women: Kimberly Augsburger, Founder of FeMind Therapy Advocates for Neurodiversity Affirming
Kimberly Augsburger, founder of FeMind Therapy, PLLC, and therapist specializing in ADHD in adult women, has adopted a neurodiversity-informed treatment approach to create lasting outcomes for individuals and their families.
According to Kimberly, women with ADHD are more likely to go undiagnosed than men. In childhood ADHD, boys are more likely to exhibit hyperactive/impulsive symptoms, making them easier to spot than girls, who more often present with inattentive symptoms. Because they are missed for early diagnosis and intervention, adult women with ADHD experience very distressing symptoms without appropriate support. Kimberly says, “these women struggle with high anxiety, shame, perfectionism, and people pleasing. This is why appropriate assessment and treatment is vital for women who believe they might be dealing with ADHD.”
Somewhat paradoxically, Kimberly says that despite their difficulties, these women are often quite successful and high-achieving, “they cope with their difficulties through masking and adaptive anxiety, but this is a very uncomfortable way to live.” Kimberly’s goal with FeMind Therapy is to offer neurodiversity-affirming care that redefines how ADHD is understood, diagnosed, and treated in women.
FeMind Therapy believes in celebrating neurodiversity and empowering women to thrive. Kimberly focuses on validating her client’s experiences and helping them to understand how their minds can work for them, rather than against them.
Her practice provides a safe, inclusive, and supportive place for clients to connect with their authentic selves. From there, Kimberly equips them with the tools and resources to manage their lives. She stands out as the go-to therapist for adult women with ADHD due to her commitment to impacting positive change in mental health care.
In addition to embracing neurodiversity-focused treatment, FeMind Therapy utilizes other specialized care approaches, including EMDR, ACT, CBT, and DBT, to provide comprehensive care. Though adult ADHD in women is still under-recognized, under-diagnosed, and under-treated, FeMind Therapy is leading a revolution in ADHD care for women.
