ADHD

Attention, impulsivity, and executive functioning may be your primary reason for seeking therapy, or may be an underlying challenge that contributes to other struggles you face. Many people with ADHD have received and internalized the message that they are lazy or not living up to their potential; it is common for individuals with ADHD to be hard on themselves in an attempt to increase productivity and reliability. Yet, each failure reinforces the message that they are inadequate. Moreover, the nature of ADHD often makes it difficult to organize and soothe difficult thoughts and emotions, leaving one vulnerable to anxiety and depression.

While psychotherapy cannot cure ADHD, we can help you with:

• Strategies for organization and management of responsibilities, social engagements, etc.
• Ways of slowing down the overactive mind
• Strategies for identifying, organizing, and understanding emotional experiences
• Social engagement skills to help with personal and professional relationships
• The anxiety and depression symptoms that many adults with ADHD experience.

Many adults never diagnosed with ADHD in childhood, find themselves struggling in ways discussed above. You may be wondering if ADHD might be an accurate diagnosis for you that could provide some clarity about your struggles. We are prepared to explore this possibility with you and provide an ADHD-informed approach to therapy, where appropriate.
