ADHD

So often people over-identify themselves with their symptoms, leading to feelings of guilt, shame, and/or inadequacy. You are not your symptoms. As ADHD coaches, we have a neurodiversity-positive empowering approach that helps clients embrace and optimize their unique mind style. We help clients identify their strengths and how their ADHD symptoms may be impacting different aspects of their life to gain greater clarity about who they are beyond their symptoms and what steps are needed to help them thrive. We believe coaching/therapy should be practical, actionable, and skills-oriented to help you get the best results and achieve positive lasting change as quickly as possible.

We offer a blend of coaching and psychotherapy tailored to each client’s presenting concerns to help you develop organizational strategies and healthy habits to better manage your symptoms. We help clients build upon what’s working well and identify obstacles that are getting in the way of progress. This may involve a solution-focused, goal-oriented coaching approach, or a psychotherapeutic approach that explores underlying thoughts, emotions, and other aspects of ADHD and its impact on one’s life, or some combination of both. Our approach is informed by evidence-based coaching and therapeutic practices such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness (adapted to be ADHD-friendly of course), as well as mind-body-based trauma- and attachment-informed therapies, since trauma and ADHD often co-occur. We offer psychoeducation (scientific information) to help you make sense of your unique mind style, offering a normalizing, nonjudgmental, depathologizing view of neurodiversity and a clear road map forward.

Overall, our approach is compassionate, scientific (admittedly nerdy), and to the point!

Although you may be tired of feeling scattered and overwhelmed, we support clients with ADHD to lead successful, fulfilling lives with the right supports in place. There are a lot of gifts that come with having “an ADHD mind,” and a lot of reasons to be optimistic. The future is bright.
