Founder of Twin Cities ADHD
Hi there!
I'm Paige Kirkanson.
I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and ADHD Specialist. Like many of us, I have worn many hats to get here, but I have always had a passion for helping people. I have been a foster parent, a PCA, a paralegal and so many other things before settling into my passion as a therapist and coach.
I earned my degrees in Political Science and Global Studies at the University of Minnesota and I got my Masters Degree in Social Work at Augsburg University.
I am drawn to those with ADHD because I was diagnosed in a time when the diagnosis was not widely understood. It wasnt always accepted- I have gotten into my share of tricky situations. When I had my two daughters, it threw everything out of wack - it was challenging in ways that I could have never anticipated. It was a stark reminder of why I think working with a professional can help guide you through the challenges of life.
I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adults, families, and couples. I take a strengths-based, cognative therapy approach to help my clients navigate life’s challenges. My style is relatable and easygoing, I create a supportive space where people feel accepted, heard, and empowered. Whether you’re looking for guidance, strategies, or simply to find someone who understands, I’m here to help you thrive.
I live in Minneapolis, MN with my husband, two daughters and our dog. We like to go skiing, hiking, and camping as a family - we love to be outside whenever we can!
