IFS + ADHD Consult Group
A clinician consultation and learning space grounded in IFS and informed by ADHD neurocognitive and nervous-system realities.
Next cohort forming — start date to be announced
Introducing the NPHF Framework — a new, IFS-informed way to map ADHD nervous-system drivers and the protective urges they activate
This group introduces and applies the NPHF framework, an IFS-informed, neurodiversity-affirming model developed by Lirone Losoff to help clinicians make sense of ADHD-related stuck patterns and protector cycles without pathologizing clients.
You’ll learn and practice using the NPHF framework to:
Conceptualize ADHD presentations through an IFS lens
Understand why certain protector strategies show up repeatedly with ADHD clients
Reduce protector backlash and internal polarization
Scaffold access to Self when capacity is limited
Virtual • 8 Weeks • Limited to 6 participants • $80/session

Once enough participants are ready to enroll, a start date will be coordinated and shared with interested clinicians.
What We'll Explore Over 8 Weeks
Each week, we'll explore a common ADHD challenge through an IFS-informed lens, using the NPHF framework to understand nervous-system constraints, protective responses, and clinical interventions.
Week 1: My Brain Makes Sense
Understanding ADHD through a neurodiversity-affirming, parts-informed lens; introducing NPHF
Week 2: Losing the Thread
Working memory challenges and the protective responses they activate
Week 3: The Starting Problem
Task initiation, planning, sequencing, and related protector dynamics
Week 4: Too Fast or Not at All
Urgency, impulsivity, avoidance, shutdown, and internal polarization
Week 5: Big Feelings, Fast
Emotional intensity, nervous-system activation, and access to Self
Week 6: Effort Feels Too Expensive
Effort cost, capacity constraints, and associated protective strategies
Week 7: It Depends
Context-dependent capacity and its implications for case conceptualization
Week 8: Rebuilding Trust
Integrating NPHF into clinical practice and supporting clients in developing self-trust
What to Expect
Each week includes brief teaching, group discussion, clinical case consultation, and opportunities to apply the NPHF framework to real-world clinical challenges.

Meet Your Facilitator
Lirone Losoff, ALMFT, is an IFS Level 3–trained therapist specializing in ADHD and parts work and the developer of the NPHF framework. Her clinical approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), neuroscience-informed ADHD strategies, and a neurodiversity-affirming perspective to help clinicians better understand the relationship between nervous-system capacity and protective responses.
Drawing on both her clinical training and lived experience with ADHD, Lirone brings a perspective that emphasizes curiosity over judgment, non-pathologizing case conceptualization, and practical ways to adapt IFS work to the needs of neurodivergent clients.
