ADHD Therapy
Do you feel easily overwhelmed, scattered, or as if you have “too much going on in my head”?
Are you wondering whether you have ADHD? Or maybe you already have an ADHD diagnosis?
Are you constantly struggling with procrastination, time blindness, or executive function struggles?
Do you feel exhausted from masking, burnout, or trying to force neurotypical strategies that don’t fit?
Do you have difficulty with organization, sustaining attention, emotional regulation, or self-confidence?
Have you felt different, but couldn’t identify why until a recent ADHD diagnosis?

Common Topics and Questions in ADHD Therapy:
-
As a Neurodiversity affirming provider, Bridget is not trying to “teach” ADHD people how to be “normal” or neurotypical, but rather, she focuses on the education of how neurodivergent brains are different and collaboratively develops goals with her clients to address things that they see as problems.
Example: Bridget will honor sensory sensitivities in the office. This may mean dimming bright lights and providing fidgets. She encourages fidgeting and movement if this helps individuals regulate during sessions! As an affirming provider, she will not force her clients to sit still and make eye contact when listening and speaking. She recognizes that people communicate differently and that is celebrated not restricted.
-
Often, Bridget incorporates psychoeducation on why and how ADHD brains are different. ADHD falls under the neurodiversity umbrella. This is done as a way to educate individuals that their brain is different and that’s ok! Understanding the why behind the difficulties decreases shame and increases self understanding and confidence. Anxiety, burnout, and overwhelm are common experiences for neurodivergent individuals. Let’s get started on understanding your nervous system to support you moving forward!
-
Rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD)-- RSD is a common experience for many ADHD individuals where they may perceive rejection from situations and have a stronger emotional reaction to this experience than a neurotypical individual. This is just one example of how navigating life as a neurodivergent individual is different than that of a neurotypical person. Bridget incorporates strategies to increase awareness of when RSD symptoms could be happening, and how to manage these symptoms.
-
Incorporation of skills for executive functioning such as organizational skills, calendar systems, alerts for deadlines or assignments. Many clients create “systems,” or approaches that work for them to manage their EF challenges.
In combining these concepts with therapeutic approaches, ADHD individuals will combine skills and self insight to address their experience with their neurodivergence
Step 1
Initial Phone Consultation
Prior to the intake session, please feel free to reach out for a 15 minute phone consult to get a sense of whether there is a good fit for your needs.
Step 2
Intake Session
After the phone consultation and if we both think that there is an appropriate fit, we will schedule the intake session. In this first session we will go over your primary concerns, mental health history, family history, etc. I have a detailed intake packet that is very helpful if completed thoroughly beforehand.
Step 3
Regular Appointments
We then move forward with scheduling regular appointments. I recommend starting at weekly occurrences for most individuals, and adjusting accordingly as needed.
