Phil Boissiere, MFT is an adult ADHD and Couples Counseling specialist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He brings his zest for life, professionalism, and humor to all aspects of his work. He dedicates himself to helping people overcome life's hurdles with purpose and passion. He believes that when motivated people are given the tools to succeed they will reach their goals and live a life that is rich with meaning.
However, when those same people find themselves bogged down in a directionless therapeutic process, they can become "lost in therapy" and actually suffer because of it. His goal-focused approach and use of evidence based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and skills training form an empowering therapeutic process. He also brings education and an understanding of neurology and it's role in mental health and happiness to his clients.
Phil constantly works to deepen his knowledge of brain science and human behavior. He has pursued expertise in brain science, advanced training in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT), and adult ADHD specific training at the Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Academy.

Adult ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a disorder that affects upwards of 5% of adults in the U.S.
This number may actually be higher in the Silicon Valley.
Unfortunately, most adults with ADHD are undiagnosed and find themselves struggling without the skills necessary to lead healthy, happy, and successful lives.
Research shows a combined approach is most effective in the treatment of adult ADHD.
When Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used in conjunction with medication, there is a 67% decrease in symptoms.

I approach couples counseling with my clients in the San Francisco Bay Area in a goal focused, empowering, and short-term way.
It is completely normal for relationships to undergo challenges and stressors throughout the years.
However, many couples can find themselves feeling lost in dysfunctional and overwhelming cycles that do not serve them or their families well.
I work with couples to identify the patterns of interacting and relating to each other that are causing distress, while providing important skills to strengthen the relationship.

Very simply put, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works to address patterns of thoughts, that lead to patterns or feeling and behaving.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying as specifically as possible the problems that a client is having, examining the causes of these difficulties, and generating alternative approaches that break problematic cycles.
All people, even those who are not encountering emotional distress, tend to think in ways that are subjective, filtering out a good deal of information about what is going on around them.
