01 · Who Adrienne works with
Adrienne lists 4 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Adrienne chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Adrienne's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Each one of us has a desire within to be our truest, best selves. Sometimes our circumstances can hinder our thoughts and emotions in feeling the success of this ability. We can feel as though we are walking through a fog, unable to unlock this potential. Whether you are coping with sadness, anxiety, life stressors, life changes, or trauma, I am a firm believer that everyone has the ability to hit the pause button, take a deep breath, catch their second wind and begin again. Sometimes it just takes that first step, recognizing that the more you take, the closer you are to exiting the fog and beginning the life you imagine. The key to success is the relationship between client and therapist. With kindness, compassion and trust, we can help you be your most accepted self. I will help you learn the skills to manage the concerns you have at hand, the mindfulness to bring clarity to a tough situation and the ability to apply these to other aspects of your life present and future. I have a deep appreciation for my clients and where they are at-whether they are looking for a long term therapeutic process or a short term situational circumstance they want to decompress from, heal and grow with.

03 · What happens next
Adrienne practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Adrienne's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Adrienne at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Adrienne is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Adrienne.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
