About
I choose to work with highly motivated people from a strengths-based and client-centered approach to support them in better functioning, better mental health, and wellness.
I am Wendy C. Krull, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience in the field of social work. I have had the privilege of supporting individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, domestic and sexual violence, and co-occurring medical and mental health issues. I earned my Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Virginia Commonwealth University.
My approach is warm and collaborative, focusing on identifying each individual’s strengths and preferences. I work with individuals and groups to support their goals and treatment choices, using cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused interventions.
I am sensitive to multicultural issues and strive to understand each person’s unique viewpoint. Together, we focus on what may not be working and find ways to enhance overall wellness. I believe everyone has the capacity to grow in meaningful and life-affirming ways and create deeper connections with themselves and others.

My go-to approach for helping people in ADHD therapy is to use The New Attention Deficit for Adults Workbook by Lynn Weiss, PHD. Dr. Weiss uses a positive, brain diversity approach that emphasized the amazing abilities of those with this type of brain while providing practical ways to deal with things that might be challenging to that particular person.
I teach clients in ADHD therapy to value and affirm their gifts, while learning skills to manage practical challenges.
I know when a client is making meaningful progress in ADHD therapy when the client affirms themself in a more positive light and expresses more ease of management of their particular challenges.
Clients can supplement their time in ADHD therapy with using Dr. Weiss's workbook, doing work between sessions.
To prepare for their first ADHD therapy session, an individual can take some time to think about their particular challenges, how the challenge effects their career/relationship/self esteem, and prepare themselves to do the homework.
At Thriveworks, we offer ADHD therapy, which is an effective treatment for managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms such as inattention, inability to sit still, and lack of self-control. It can be used as an alternative to ADHD medication or used in tandem.
ADHD therapy works by using behavioral interventions — focusing on helping the individual develop organization skills, improve time management, and work on adaptive behaviors. A range of therapies are effective in helping people manage their ADHD and, sometimes, both individual and family therapy are important, particularly when the individual with ADHD symptoms is a child.
Common symptoms of ADHD include:
ADHD is not a coping mechanism—but is instead affected by both genetics and environmental factors. The skilled therapists at Thriveworks in Asheville, NC know how to treat the unique triggers and stressors that may influence the severity of someone’s ADHD symptoms.
Yes—many individuals with ADHD live successful, ‘normal’ lives. Individuals with ADHD are not abnormal.
Common approaches to ADHD therapy include medication management, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and parent training.
ADHD counseling is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability.
The length of ADHD therapy can differ based on individual requirements and treatment objectives, spanning from a few weeks to several months or extending further, contingent on progress and personal needs.
At Thriveworks Counseling in Asheville, NC, we understand the challenges faced by individuals with ADHD and offer comprehensive assessments and treatments to help manage symptoms effectively. If you or your child are experiencing difficulties that might be related to ADHD, don’t hesitate to contact us for a professional evaluation. Call us today at Thriveworks Counseling to schedule your appointment.
