Lori Field, LCSW
ADHD Therapy and Coaching That Works for your Real Life
I'm Lori Field, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider based in Rochester, NY.
I specialize in ADHD therapy, executive function coaching, and neurodiversity-affirming support for adults and parents. Many of my clients I work with are professionals, caregivers, and parents who feel overwhelmed by the cmopeting demands of work, family, and daily life. Together, we build practical systems that reduce stress, strengthen follow-through, and support sustainable success.
My work blends evidence-based practice with lived experience. As someone who has navigated ADHD myself, I understand firsthand how exhausting it can be to constantly compensate, overwork, or feel like you're falling behind despite your best efforts. That combination of personal insight and clinical training helps me meet clients exactly where they are - without judgement or "shoulds."
Lived Experience Meets Clinical Expertise
Diagnosed with ADHD in second grade, I spent years trying to fit into systems that weren’t built for my brain. Like many of my clients, I learned to compensate, overwork, and mask my struggles. On the outside, things often looked successful, but maintaining that success required far more effort than most people realized.
Over time, I discovered new ways to work with my brain - not against it - and now I help other adults do the same.
My professional background includes:
-
Master’s in Social Work, Columbia University (Health, Mental Health, and Disabilities)
-
Family Therapy Certification, The Ackerman Institute for the Family
With a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University (Health, Mental Health, and Disabilities) and a Family Therapy Certification from The Ackerman Institute for the Family, I’ve spent more than 20 years supporting individuals and families in healthcare, corporate, and community settings.
Before opening my private practice, I worked in leadership and consulting roles where I helped teams improve communication, organization, and adaptability. That experience gives me a unique undertanding of the real-world challenges many adults with ADHD face as professionals, parents, caregivers, and leaders.
Today, I combine clinical expertise, practical problem-solving and lived experience to help clients reduce overwhelm, strengthen executive functioning, and build systems that support success at work, at home, and in everyday life.
How I Work
My style is collaborative, practical, and deeply human. Together, we identify what’s getting in the way and build strategies that fit how your brain truly works.
My approach is:
-
Insight-Driven – Understand your patterns, make sense of your challenges, and learn how to work with your brain rather than against it.
-
Skill-Based – Build practical tools for organization, time management, planning, follow-through, and emotional regulation.
-
Compassion-Focused – Reduce self-criticism, move beyond shame and burnout, and reconnect with your strengths and values.
If you’re ready to learn new strategies, strengthen your focus, and feel more confident managing life with ADHD, you’re in the right place.
After years in high-pressure environments, I realized that success shouldn’t mean burnout or masking your differences. I founded Field Connection PLLC to help others move beyond survival mode—to feel calmer, clearer, and more capable in their daily lives.
This work isn’t just my profession—it’s personal. I know how transformative it can be when someone truly gets your brain and helps you see what’s right with it.
In our work together, you’ll find warmth, humor, and a space where you can show up fully yourself. You don’t need to “try harder”—you need support that’s designed for how you think, feel, and function.
