Therapy for Adults with ADHD
Living with ADHD in a neurotypical world can often feel like you're swimming against the current.
You're driven and hardworking, but ADHD can make it difficult to recognize your own strengths. You have big ambitions but often feel like you're standing in your own way. Staying focused, managing time, and keeping up with daily responsibilities can feel overwhelming—like running on a treadmill, expending energy but never moving forward, you feel stuck in the cycle of procrastination.
​
Here are examples of how ADHD symptoms might show up in everyday life:
​
-
Time management – You plan to leave for work at 8:00 AM but somehow end up rushing out the door at 8:20, unsure where the time went.
​
-
Focus and attention – You sit down to write an email, but after a few sentences, you pick up your phone, check social media, then remember you left laundry in the washer.
​
-
Procrastination – A big project is due next week, but you keep putting it off until the last minute, leading to a stressful all-nighter.
​
-
Impulsivity – You blurt out a thought in a meeting before realizing it wasn’t the right time to speak.
​
-
Forgetfulness – You walk into a room and immediately forget why you went there or constantly misplace your keys and phone.
​
-
Emotional regulation – A minor inconvenience, like spilling coffee, feels like the end of the world, leading to frustration or irritability.
These challenges aren’t happening because you’re lazy or indifferent—it's just that juggling sticky notes and 20 open browser tabs can make it even harder to focus on a single task.
You're in the right place if you;
-
Are struggling with inner negative dialogue
-
Constantly compare yourself to others
-
Feel disorganized and hectic
-
Feel stuck
-
Are often overwhelmed
-
Feel held back/confined by yourself
You can learn to harness your hyperfocus and energy in ways that support you instead of holding you back.
Many people don’t realize that ADHD in adults often looks different than it does in children—it’s less about external hyperactivity and more about an internal whirlwind of thoughts. This is why challenges with focus, procrastination, and attention can feel even more overwhelming as we get older, impacting work, school, and daily life. These struggles can lead to frustration, self-doubt (“Why can’t I just finish this?”), strain in relationships (“Why do I have trouble staying present?”), and sensory overload (“Why does everything feel so intense?”).
​
ADHD isn’t a lack of focus—it’s an inconsistency in how and where focus shows up. In therapy, we’ll work together to uncover what drives you, develop strategies to help you get into the zone, and create an approach to productivity that actually fits your brain. Instead of fixating on where you struggle, you’ll learn to lean into your strengths and build a life and relationships that feel more manageable and fulfilling.
