Therapy and Coaching for ADHD & Executive Functioning
Living with ADHD or executive functioning challenges can feel like running a marathon in sand—constantly moving but never quite catching up. You might struggle to stay organized, manage time, follow through on plans, or shift between tasks. Even simple things—emails, chores, appointments—can feel monumental. You may find yourself frustrated, ashamed, or misunderstood, especially when others seem to manage these things effortlessly.
ADHD isn’t about laziness or lack of willpower—it’s about how the brain regulates attention, motivation, and emotion. These differences affect executive functions like planning, prioritizing, working memory, impulse control, and emotional regulation. Many adults with ADHD spend years compensating, often through perfectionism, overworking, or masking their struggles until burnout hits.
In therapy, we’ll look beyond surface-level “productivity hacks.” Together, we’ll explore the emotional and unconscious layers of ADHD—like chronic shame, fear of failure, rejection sensitivity, or the belief that you have to “do more” to feel worthy. You’ll learn to understand how your nervous system responds under stress and how to create systems that work with your brain, not against it.
Our work may include:
• Building structure and systems that align with your natural rhythms and strengths.
• Using CBT and mindfulness to regulate attention, energy, and overwhelm.
• Exploring the deeper emotional patterns—perfectionism, self-criticism, avoidance—that maintain the cycle of burnout.
• Developing self-compassion and confidence so you can work with your ADHD rather than constantly fight it.
Many people come to therapy for ADHD after years of being told to “try harder.” Here, we focus on understanding yourself more deeply instead. With awareness, practical tools, and emotional support, you can begin to feel calmer, more focused, and in control of your time and energy.
