Las Vegas Therapist for Parents

Darlene Zepp, LCSW

I help parents of ADHD kids and teens who are feeling overwhelmed by the daily demands of family life. I’m here to help you in finding practical strategies, restoring your confidence, and creating a calmer, more connected home.

Therapy for Parents of ADHD Kids and Teens

Parenting a child with ADHD sometimes feels like you’re running a marathon you didn’t train for. The days are chaotic, the routines never seem to stick, and even when you’re trying your absolute hardest it still feels like you’re falling short. I get it, not in a “I read a book about it” way, but in a “I’ve been in the trenches” kind of way.

When I work with parents, my focus isn’t on “fixing” your kid. It’s about helping you feel more grounded, less burnt out, and more connected to your family… even when they’re running late for the third time this week.

How Can Therapy Help Parents of Kids With ADHD?

I’m not here to judge or hand you a list of rules. I am here to walk alongside you, help you understand what is going on under the surface, and make life feel a little lighter. Therapy doesn’t have to be this heavy, miserable process. Sometimes we’ll laugh. Sometimes we will cry. And sometimes we’ll problem-solve things that seems small, but have a huge impact on your day-to-day life.

Here’s what we might do together:

  • Sort through the chaos so you’re not spinning your wheels on things that don’t matter. I’ll help you figure out where your energy actually makes a difference

  • Untangle the guilt, because beating yourself up doesn’t make you a better parent, it only drains you

  • Build systems that work for your family, not a picture-perfect Instagram family. If sticker charts and rigid routines aren’t your style, that’s okay! We will find something that is.

  • Help you see the difference between “typical teen stuff” and ADHD challenges so you can respond with less frustration and more confidence

    If any part of you is curious, even if you are still skeptical, let’s just talk.

Who I am, and how I got here:

I’m passionate about helping adults who feel stretched thin by the demands of work, family, and everything in between. With both personal and professional experience navigating high-pressure roles, I understand how stress, burnout, and constant responsibility can take a toll. My background as a veteran and parent has given me firsthand insight into identity shifts, emotional fatigue, and the impact of transitions. I became a therapist because I know how powerful it can be to have someone in your corner; someone who helps you feel grounded and capable, even when life feels overwhelming.

Who I help:

I work with parents who are raising ADHD kids and teens and want to feel more in control of their day-to-day life. Many of the parents I meet are exhausted from juggling school meetings, therapy appointments, and household responsibilities on top of everything else. They often describe feeling like they’re “always on,” and that no matter how hard they try, it’s never enough.

Some of my clients are navigating new diagnoses and trying to figure out what’s ADHD and what’s simply part of growing up. Others have known for years and are looking for new strategies to handle the challenges that come with adolescence. Wherever you are in the journey, I can help you feel less alone and more confident in your role as a parent.

Off the clock:

Outside of the therapy office, you can usually find me spending quality time with my family or diving into one of my many hobbies. I enjoy reading, exploring new foods, caring for my growing collection of plants, and unwinding with video games. These activities help me recharge and stay grounded so I can show up fully for the people I work with.
