Common signs of ADHD
ADHD can look different from person to person, but here are some experiences our clients often share:
You're constantly playing catch-up with deadlines, appointments, and daily tasks that seem easy for everyone else.
Your mind feels like a browser with 47 tabs open, making you feel scattered and overwhelmed.
You spend hours masking or "performing neurotypical" at work or school, then crash when you get home.
You struggled to start tasks, even when you know exactly what needs to be done.
You have a hard time keeping a grasp on time—it seems to either move in slow motion or disappear entirely.
You feel misunderstood or judged when you struggle with things that "should be simple.”
You're overwhelmed by sensory experiences—noises, textures, or busy environments drain your energy fast.
You've been told you're "too much" or "not enough" your whole life, and it's exhausting trying to find the balance.
What to expect from the therapy process
Step 1. Free consultation call
Start by filling out this brief online form. From here, we'll schedule a brief phone call where you can share what brings you to therapy, ask questions about our approach, and see if we feel like a good fit for each other.
Step 2. Initial intake session
If you choose to move forward after your consultation, we’ll meet for your first full session. This is a chance to dive deeper into your story, discuss your goals, and begin building a therapeutic relationship. We'll explore how ADHD shows up in your life and what support would be most helpful.
Step 3. Developing your personalized plan
Over the next few sessions, we'll work collaboratively to identify practical strategies, coping skills, and systems that actually fit your brain—from executive function support to emotional regulation techniques to eventually processing what it’s like to live in a world that’s not built for your neurotype.
Step 4. Ongoing therapy and growth
As we continue meeting, we'll adjust our approach based on what's working, celebrate your progress, and focus on building self-awareness, confidence, and a life that honors your neurodivergence rather than fighting against it.
FAQs about ADHD Therapy
-
No, we don't provide formal ADHD testing or diagnostic evaluations at our practice. However, we're happy to refer you to trusted local specialists who can provide comprehensive ADHD assessments. While a formal diagnosis isn’t needed to work with us, we completely understand that it can be helpful for some folks.
-
Absolutely not. Many of our clients come to us exploring whether they might have ADHD, while others have formal diagnoses. Either way, we're here to support you. We focus on your lived experience and how we can help you thrive, regardless of whether you have paperwork to “prove it.”
-
Therapy provides a space to develop practical strategies for executive function, emotional regulation, and daily life management. We'll work together to build self-awareness, reduce shame, create systems that actually work for your brain, and help you feel more confident navigating relationships, work, and personal goals.
Beyond the tactical day-to-day stuff, we’re also here to process past experiences and the challenges of living in a world that isn’t designed to support your unique wiring. We know that it can take a massive toll on your mental health, self-esteem, and overall well-being, and we want to be a refuge for you to express those feelings.
-
The short answer is yes, but it depends on your unique brain and needs. While medication can be helpful for some people, therapy offers valuable tools for managing ADHD through behavioral strategies, nervous system regulation, organizational skills, and addressing the emotional impact of living with ADHD. Many clients use therapy alongside medication, while others choose therapy alone.
-
Yes, therapy for ADHD is typically covered by insurance. While we don’t accept insurance directly, we can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We also offer sliding scale options for clients who need additional financial support.
