ADHD Therapy
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?
How I Can Help:
I provide a neurodiversity-affirming space where your ADHD traits are understood as difference, not deficit. Together we explore how your brain works naturally and co-create strategies that align with your thinking style—for planning, focus, regulation, and self-advocacy. We also address burnout, sensory needs, rejection sensitivity, masking fatigue, and identity challenges, using strengths-based, collaborative therapy rooted in your lived experience.
What Life Can Look Like:
Greater clarity about how your attention and energy actually work.
Practical tools that fit your brain and help you organize time, tasks, and priorities.
Reduced overwhelm and burnout through sustainable routines and self-acceptance.
Confidence in your unique strengths and the ability to navigate challenges with self-trust.
Common Topics and Questions in ADHD Therapy:
-
As an affirming provider I am not trying to teach an ADHD individual to be more neurotypical. I focus on the psychoeducation of how a neurodivergent brain has differences and work collaboratively with my clients to identify their authentic goals that are aligned with their values.
Example: I honor sensory sensitivities in the office. This may mean dimming bright lights and providing fidgets. I encourage fidgeting and movement if this helps individuals regulate during sessions! I will not force clients to sit still and/or make eye contact when speaking to me. I recognize different communication styles.
-
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. I incorporate strategies to increase awareness of when RSD symptoms could be happening, and how to manage these symptoms.
-
Executive functioning skills include 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 the challenges of EF skills.
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.
