Meet Your ADHD & Attachment Therapist
I support people in developing the skills to identify, create, and maintain healthy attachments with others and with self. I believe this is foundational for humans to thrive and face the challenges and stressors of life.
Therapy is a process to improve upon ourselves, not fix damage.
Kit Kloud, MSW, CSWA
Therapist
She/They
I work with individuals and family systems determined to break the cycle of abuse, develop healthy internal harmony, and withstand the pain and disorientation of grief and loss.
As a child my world lacked safety, security, and nurturing adults.
Because of this I am myself a cycle-breaker, a healing parent, embodying my gender and sexuality as a queer woman, and capable of withstanding the grief of sudden loss and life changes.
You are a fighter, with the courage to love deeply despite past hurt.
You are deserving of a healthy and safe guide to healing and growth you were deprived of in the past.
I welcome you to our community of self-healers. I would be honored to walk along this path with you.

My clients are those who may identify with the following:
You have ADHD and are feeling depressed, worthless, and overwhelmed by the demands of the world.
You didn’t receive the affection, safety, and nurturing you deserved as a child and feel this affects your own children.
Your life is feeling overwhelming, chaotic, and exhausting as you try to raise a child diagnosed with ADHD.
You and your partner(s) want to explore a new relationship structure in an ethical way (like ethical non-monogamy and polyamory) but don’t know where to start.
You experienced emotional, physical, or psychological abuse or neglect as a child and fear repeating the cycle with your children.
Someone close to you has died and you feel lost, hopeless, and are seeking support to guide you through.
An intricate part of your routine, life, or relationship has been lost or taken away and you don’t know what to do.
You’re struggling. Plain and simple. And having someone along side you feels like it would help.
If you are a sex worker, in the kink or sex positive communities, in non-monogamous/poly relationships, LGBTQA+ folks, or exploring your identity or thinking about joining any of these communities, you are safe and free to be all of you here.
