The Clinic
Dr. Danielle Chard and Aisling Nebor are the founders of Level Up ADHD.
They are business partners, sisters, and colleagues in healthcare and are excited to bring together their unique skill sets and education to offer a comprehensive assessment and treatment program for people with ADHD.Â
Why “Level Up”?
Â
Â
While we know that ADHD can have implications on individuals’ function, relationships, and careers, we also strongly believe that our thoughts have powerful effects on how we feel about our world, and about our health. When we play games our minds are open to the possibility of “winning” and achieving our goals; we know that winning is always a possibility. We want you to feel this way on your journey to better understand ADHD and how it may be affecting your health and life. We hope to provide you with a roadmap, tools, and support to improve your life with ADHD, not despite ADHD.
