1. Hidden in Plain Sight: Identifying Undiagnosed ADHD in Adolescents and Adults, Online Self-Study

Far too many adolescents and adults live with undiagnosed ADHD, which remains masked by trauma, misinterpreted as mood disorders, or hidden behind high-functioning success and cultural expectations. This often leads to years of ineffective treatment and unnecessary suffering for clinicians and clients alike, making the ability to "see the invisible" a vital clinical skill.

This course provides the specialized lens needed to sharpen your clinical eye and recognize ADHD in its less obvious, internalized forms. You are invited to explore the nuanced presentations of neurodivergence and gain the strategies necessary to bring clarity, effective care, and profound relief to clients who have been overlooked for far too long.

Crystal Hooper, M.A., LPC-S, NCC, is a TBRI® Practitioner and trauma recovery expert with over 15 years of experience. As the author of Mom, What is ADHD?, she specializes in untangling the overlap between complex trauma and neurodivergence while using stigma-free language to communicate clinical findings to families.

Her approach combines evidence-based practices with real-world case illustrations to move clinicians from theory to practical application. Through a "day-in-the-life" framework, she explores how ADHD symptoms impact relationship dynamics, household stability, and workplace performance.

Topics include differentiating ADHD from trauma, anxiety, and depression; masking through perfectionism; and internalized hyperactivity as mental restlessness. The course examines cultural and gender norms, genetic overlaps with ASD and bipolar disorder, and themes such as the link between caffeine and "adrenaline rushes," executive dysfunction during menopause, and the ethics of master’s level diagnosis.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the core signs and symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) that may be masked or misinterpreted due to co-occurring disorders, trauma histories, cultural expectations, or life circumstances.
• Identify the core signs and symptoms of ADHD across inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined presentations.
• Develop strategies to communicate ADHD findings to clients and families in ways that reduce stigma and promote engagement with treatment.
• Recognize the impact of cultural and gender norms on ADHD diagnosis and understand how these factors contribute to underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis.

2. The Overlooked Diagnosis: ADHD in Women, Perimenopause, and Mental Health, Online Self-Study

ADHD doesn’t fade with age—it evolves. For many women, midlife brings a sudden storm of forgetfulness, emotional swings, and overwhelm that doesn’t quite fit the familiar categories of depression, anxiety, or burnout. What’s often really happening is a hidden convergence of ADHD and perimenopause—an overlooked diagnostic intersection where hormonal shifts amplify executive dysfunction and emotional dysregulation. This course invites clinicians to re-examine their diagnostic lens and learn to identify what’s been missed for decades: how ADHD manifests, masks, and morphs in women navigating midlife transitions.

As estrogen and progesterone fluctuate, the brain’s regulatory systems change. Clients who once coped through structure and sheer determination find their old strategies collapsing—stimulant medications suddenly feel less effective, the late-luteal week becomes a predictable crisis point, and emotional reactivity intensifies. Meanwhile, cultural scripts around competence and caregiving pressure women to mask harder, leading to shame, self-blame, and a painful sense of “I should be managing this.” This training names those patterns and translates emerging neurobiological and clinical insights into clear, compassionate frameworks for assessment and care.

Melanie Smith, PhD, LMHC, CEDS-S, brings extensive experience as a psychotherapist, national trainer, and co-author of The Renfrew Unified Treatment for Eating Disorders and Comorbidity. As Director of Training at The Renfrew Center, she merges scientific precision with deep empathy—offering clinicians language, structure, and tools that honor both biology and lived experience.

Dr. Smith delivers this as a clinic-first seminar: brief myth-busting to surface why women’s ADHD is missed; a cycle-aware model you can map with clients; and short lecture segments interwoven with case vignettes, guided reflection prompts, and “language labs” that reshape scripts for assessment and psychoeducation. You’ll see decision trees for differential diagnosis, documentation cues, and collaboration frameworks for prescribers. The tone is neurodiversity-affirming, precise, and practical—aimed at tools you can use in session the same day.

You’ll learn how estrogen and progesterone fluctuations alter attention, working memory, emotion regulation, and medication response—why stimulants may seem to “stop working,” why late-luteal weeks reliably worsen symptoms, and how cycle-aware history-taking prevents misdiagnosis with mood and anxiety disorders. Dr. Smith surfaces lived realities—masking, overcompensation, rejection-sensitive dysphoria (RSD), and the cost of being “high-performing yet misunderstood”—and translates them into concrete steps for differential diagnosis in perimenopause, targeted psychoeducation, psychotherapy strategies, and effective prescriber collaboration.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify at least three ways ADHD symptoms present differently in women compared to men, particularly during perimenopause.
• Differentiate between ADHD, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders in midlife women, accounting for hormonal influences across the lifespan and cycle.
• Apply evidence-based strategies for assessment, psychoeducation, and treatment planning that address the intersection of ADHD, perimenopause, and mental health.
