ADHD

You know what you need to do—you just can’t always seem to make yourself do it. Maybe you’re constantly losing track of time, putting things off until the last minute, forgetting what you walked into a room for, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks. You might be incredibly productive when something interests you, but struggle to get started when it doesn’t.


ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects the brain’s executive functioning—the skills we use to plan, prioritize, organize, manage time, regulate emotions, and follow through. It isn’t simply a lack of attention or motivation. In fact, people with ADHD can often focus intensely when something is engaging or rewarding. ADHD can look different from person to person, and its impact can change throughout different stages of life.


 

How Psychotherapy Can Help


  • Understand how ADHD affects your everyday life
  • Learn strategies that work with your brain
  • Break through procrastination and task paralysis
  • Improve organization, planning, and time management
  • Build realistic routines and systems
  • Manage overwhelm and emotional regulation
  • Work through frustration, shame, or self-criticism
  • Build confidence and recognize your strengths

Signs ADHD May be Affecting You

  • “I know what I need to do, but I can’t start.”
  • Frequently procrastinating or rushing at the last minute
  • Losing track of time
  • Forgetting things or misplacing belongings
  • Difficulty prioritizing or organizing tasks
  • Starting projects but struggling to finish them
  • Becoming easily distracted
  • Hyperfocusing on things that interest you
  • Feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities
  • Difficulty managing emotions or frustration
  • Struggling to maintain routines
  • Feeling capable of more but unable to access it consistently
