Therapy for Adults
with ADHD 

A therapist who understands ADHD can help adults recognize that their struggles are not about laziness or lack of effort, but about how their brain works. Together, they can explore practical strategies that work for the ADHD brain to remove barriers to executive functioning, fostering improvement to time-management, organization, and follow through. Therapy also offers space to work through the frustration, stress, and self-criticism and shame that often come with ADHD, and to build confidence and self-compassion. With support and accountability, clients can improve daily rythyms, relationships, and overall well-being.

HOW IT HELPS

Therapy with a therapist who understands ADHD can help in several ways. Therapy can help the person with ADHD make sense of their challenges, reduce shame, and highlight strengths that often come with ADHD (like creativity, intuition, energy, and big-picture thinking). Therapy can teach strategies – offer concrete tools for managing time, organization, follow-through, and emotional regulation, tailored to how ADHD brains actually work. Therapy can build accountability – support the person in setting realistic goals and checking in on progress without judgment. Therapy can address emotional impact – explore the frustration, anxiety, or low self-esteem that often accompany ADHD, and help the person develop self-compassion. Therapy can help improve relationships – guide clients in communicating their needs and managing common ADHD-related conflicts at work or at home.
