Therapy for Adults with ADHD

ADHD Affects More Than Focus

If you have ADHD, managing emotions, relationships, and stress may look different than for people who don’t have ADHD.

Emotions can arrive quickly or intensely. Motivation can fluctuate. You may understand what would help and still struggle to follow through. Over time, this can lead to burnout, shame, or the sense that something is wrong with you.

Therapy works best when it starts from how your brain actually functions rather than trying to push past it.

How Therapy Works

In therapy, we may focus on:

• Emotional intensity and reactivity

• Impulsivity and avoidance patterns

• Anxiety, perfectionism, and old coping strategies

• The gap between knowing and doing

• How ADHD impacts relationships and identity

• Untangling shame and internalized messages

Having language for these patterns is often relieving in itself. From there we go into direct actions that can improve your day-to-day life.

Ways We Can Work Together

Individual Therapy

For adults with ADHD who want a deeper understanding of their emotions, patterns, and inner experience while also building realistic support that fits their life.

Couples Therapy

For couples where ADHD affects communication, emotional regulation, follow-through, or trust. This work focuses on understanding patterns rather than assigning blame. As we get to know how each of you functions best and how you differ, we can create practical plans for strengthening connection and equity in your relationship.

Group Therapy

For adults with ADHD who benefit from shared language, structure, and learning alongside others with similar experiences. Groups are best suited for people willing to actively participate and reflect.

Who This Work Is For

This work may be a good fit if:

• Your emotions feel fast, intense, or hard to regulate

• You are stuck in patterns you can see but cannot shift alone

• ADHD affects your relationships or sense of self

• You have tried common strategies and still feel overwhelmed

• You want support that takes your complexity seriously

This may not be the right fit if you are looking for short-term coaching or symptom management only.

What to Expect From Therapy

Therapy is a space where your ADHD traits are not pathologized and your emotional experience is taken seriously.

We will combine insight with practical strategies so that change feels possible rather than overwhelming.
