Services for Couples
Many couples find themselves caught in the same conflicts again and again — and are told it comes down to communication or compatibility. Often, there's a more complete explanation: differences in how each partner's brain takes in and processes information.
​
When those differences are identified and understood, couples often find they can finally work through patterns that felt unsolvable before.
Services for Couples
Personalized Intake Questionnaire​
​
Each partner completes an identical questionnaire separately, focused on communication and conflict patterns. This establishes a clear starting point before the evaluation begins.
​
​
​
Individual Processing Profiles​
Each partner completes a structured, computer-based process that reveals how they individually take in, organize, and respond to information, including how they process what they hear and see in the moment.
​
Couples Synthesis
The two individual profiles are brought together to reveal where patterns align, where they clash, and why certain conflicts keep repeating. From there, both partners can finally see the pattern clearly instead of just living inside it.
Strategy Consultation with Dr. McReynolds
Each partner first reviews their individual results one-on-one with Dr. McReynolds, then meets together as a couple to review everything as a whole and talk through what it means and how to move forward.
Clarity for Couples
When ADHD goes unrecognized in a relationship, it often looks like a communication problem rather than what it actually is. One partner may feel endlessly responsible, while the other feels endlessly criticized or misunderstood. Understanding the processing patterns behind these dynamics is often the missing piece, and identifying them is what allows two people to start working with each other instead of against each other.
When Understanding Changes a Relationship
For years, this couple found themselves returning to the same arguments. They had worked hard on communication, but the pattern continued.
​
During the discovery process, they began to understand that the difficulty was not simply what they were saying to one another. It was also how each person was processing information during the conversation.
The wife recognized that both the way she approached an important conversation and the environment around them mattered. She began paying closer attention to competing noise and distractions, sometimes choosing to step outside so they could talk in a quieter setting where her husband could better take in what she was saying.
The husband also began to see the larger family impact. During their consultation, he identified the need to talk with their children so they could better understand their mother rather than interpreting her reactions without that context.
​
These changes were practical and specific, and they reflected a fundamentally different understanding of what had been happening between them. That shift changed how they approached conversations, how they understood one another, and ultimately how they experienced their relationship.
The wife later shared:
​
“For the first time in twenty years, we’ve stopped having the fights that used to define us. I learned that when something important needs to be said, we need a quiet space where I can actually hold my attention. I also learned that we process information differently, so now I pay more attention to pacing and give him the space he needs to take in what I am saying before we move on. We finally understand each other instead of just reacting, and we’re having fun together again, the way we did twenty years ago. This process didn’t just change how we talk to each other. It saved my marriage.”
