ADHD Therapy

Do You Feel Overwhelmed, Unfocused, or Disorganized?

If you struggle with procrastination, trouble starting tasks, or keeping things organized—especially when life gets busy—you’re not alone. These challenges are common symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Whether you’ve been diagnosed or are just noticing these patterns, you may wonder if anything can help. While ADHD cannot be cured, therapy offers powerful ways to manage symptoms so you can pursue your goals with greater ease and confidence.

​

ADHD Isn’t Just for Kids

ADHD is often associated with children, but it doesn’t disappear in adulthood. Many adults with ADHD have developed coping strategies over the years, but new challenges—like a career change, added responsibilities, or stressful life events—can make symptoms more noticeable. Environments designed for neurotypical people, such as noisy offices or unstructured meetings, can leave adults with ADHD feeling out of place or misunderstood. It’s important to remember: ADHD is not a sign of laziness or lack of intelligence. Your brain simply works differently, bringing both unique strengths and real challenges.

​

How Therapy Helps

As ADHD specialists, we understand that everyone’s experience is unique. We’ll start by getting to know your strengths and struggles, and, if needed, can refer you for a thorough assessment. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you:

  • Break down overwhelming projects into manageable steps

  • Develop practical strategies for organization and time management

  • Stay accountable and troubleshoot obstacles as they arise

  • Connect with support systems at work, school, or home.

If you find it hard to pay attention in meetings or lectures, we’ll explore solutions like using shared notes or seeking accommodations. If your environment isn’t working for you, we can discuss ways to advocate for changes or consider new settings better suited to your strengths.

​

Strengthening Relationships and Self-Confidence

ADHD can affect relationships, often leading to misunderstandings about things like tidiness or time management. We’ll work together to find practical compromises, such as using a “drop bin” for your belongings instead of putting everything away immediately. Therapy also addresses the emotional impact of ADHD. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), we’ll help you challenge unhelpful thoughts (“I can’t do this,” “I’ll get fired if I make a mistake”) and build greater emotional resilience. As your confidence grows, you’ll find it easier to apply new skills, strengthen relationships, and achieve your goals.

​

Why Choose Therapy?

Books and coaching can offer general advice, but therapy provides expert, individualized support. Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, we tailor strategies to your unique needs. While medication can help some people focus, it works best alongside therapy, which teaches skills for prioritizing, organizing, and structuring your day. For those who prefer to avoid medication, therapy is even more essential.
 

You deserve to feel understood, empowered, and capable. If you’re ready to move through life with more ease and rediscover your strengths, I’m here to help. Reach out today to take your first step.

Effective Approaches for Managing Adult ADHD

Living with ADHD as an adult can feel overwhelming, but there are evidence-based therapies and strategies that can make a real difference. Here’s an overview of some of the most effective—and promising—options for managing ADHD symptoms and improving your quality of life.
 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most common therapeutic approaches for adults with ADHD. While it’s not typically used with children, CBT is highly effective for adults who are ready to build self-awareness and new habits.
 

Key Benefits of CBT:

  • Mindfulness & Self-Awareness: CBT helps you become more aware of your thoughts and behaviors in the moment, so you can make intentional choices.

  • Goal Setting & Organization: You’ll learn practical skills for setting goals, organizing tasks, and following through.

  • Behavior Change: By understanding your patterns, you can increase desired behaviors and decrease those that hold you back.

  • Emotional Support: CBT is also useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and other challenges that often accompany ADHD.

  • Tailored Programs: There are specific CBT programs designed just for adults with ADHD.
     

CBT does require some maturity and willingness to reflect, but it can be life-changing for those ready to take an active role in their own growth.
 

Mindfulness and Mindful Meditation

Mindfulness and mindful meditation are powerful tools for anyone struggling with attention and focus. These practices train your mind to stay present, helping you manage distractions and impulsivity.


Benefits of Mindfulness:

  • Present-Moment Awareness: Mindfulness teaches you to focus on what’s happening right now, rather than getting lost in worries or distractions.

  • Overall Health: Regular mindfulness practice supports both mental and physical well-being.

  • Research-Backed Results: Studies show that adults with ADHD who practice mindfulness experience improvements in mood, quality of life, and attention.


Incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine can be a simple yet effective way to support your ADHD management.
 

Exercise

Regular exercise offers a wide range of health benefits—and it can also help manage ADHD symptoms.

How Exercise Helps:

  • Symptom Improvement: Several studies have found that consistent physical activity can reduce ADHD symptoms, though more research is needed to confirm the best types and routines.

  • General Health: Exercise supports your overall well-being, which can help you feel your best mentally and physically.

Making exercise a regular part of your life is a powerful step toward better focus, mood, and energy.

 

Additional Behavioral Supports

While more research is needed, several other behavioral therapies and supports may offer benefits for adults with ADHD:

  • Family or Marital Counseling: To address relationship challenges.

  • ADHD Coaching: For practical strategies and accountability.

  • ADHD Support Groups: To connect with others who understand your experience.

  • Professional Organizers: For hands-on help with decluttering and setting up systems.
