Mindful ADHD Support Group
Want tools and skills to manage the symptoms of ADHD?
Our eight-week support group offers a compassionate environment and constructive mindfulness practices for working with impulsivity, restlessness, procrastination, and the shame and guilt that often accompany ADHD.
Week-by-week, we’ll work through something called the Mindful Awareness Practices (MAPs) protocol. MAPs is an evidence-based program from researchers at the University of Minnesota's Bakken Center for Spirituality and Healing and Duke University’s department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences. It uses mindfulness practices to help you feel empowered in your partnership with ADHD.
You’ll also be part of a community of people with the same diagnosis who want to support each other as they learn to work with the gifts and challenges of ADHD.
Who This Group is For
This online training is perfect if you have an ADHD diagnosis and are looking for community and to connect with others with the same diagnosis.
What You’ll Get From This Program
The neurobiology of ADHD and mindfulness
A gradual introduction of informal and formal mindfulness exercises, including mindfulness in everyday life and more formal seated and walking practices
Practices that train focus, help you monitor your attention, and help with self-regulation

About Your Facilitators
The Somatic Nature Therapy Mindful ADHD Support Group is co-led by Kristina Benson and Tasha Eichenseher. Kristina and Tasha both have an ADHD diagnosis and have successfully worked with the MAPs protocol to feel more grounded and less scattered.
Tasha Eichenseher, MA, LPCC, combines mindfulness and meditation, nature-based practices, yoga, ritual, and psychotherapy to facilitate mind-body-soul experiences that nurture nervous system regulation, attunement, and peace of mind. She works to help adult and teenage clients move through anxiety, depression, anger, pain, and grief to unearth their authentic selves and navigate transition from a place of alignment and empowerment.

Kristina Benson, MA, LPCC, works from an understanding that the mind and body are inherently connected and that we must continue cultivating a symbiotic relationship between the two. She has an active mindfulness practice, which guides the way she approaches her work—slowly, with genuine interest, and with an open heart. The modalities that inform her work are non-violent communication, attachment theory, nature-based therapy, Ecopsychology, mindfulness, and humanistic psychology. Read More
