Neurodiversity & Adult ADHD Therapy

Support for understanding your brain and building a life that works for you

Many adults seek therapy because they feel overwhelmed, scattered, burned out, or constantly falling behind — even though they are capable, thoughtful, and trying hard. For some, these experiences are connected to ADHD or other forms of neurodiversity, often recognized later in life.

Neurodiversity-affirming therapy offers a supportive space to understand how your brain works, reduce self-blame, and develop strategies that honor your strengths rather than forcing you to fit systems that were never designed for you.

How therapy can help

Therapy for adults with neurodiversity and adults with ADHD can help you:

• reduce overwhelm, burnout, and chronic stress

• understand attention, motivation, and executive functioning challenges

• untangle shame, self-criticism, and “not good enough” narratives

• develop systems that support focus, follow-through, and rest

• improve emotional regulation and nervous system balance

• strengthen self-compassion and confidence

• navigate relationships, work, and life transitions with more ease

Support is tailored to your nervous system, values, and lived experience, not rigid expectations.

A neurodiversity-affirming approach

This work is not about fixing you. It is about understanding the interaction between your brain, your environment, and your nervous system.

Our work, tailored to you, may include:

• identifying patterns of overwhelm, shutdown, or hyperfocus

• learning regulation tools grounded in polyvagal theory

• exploring identity, masking, and late recognition

• gently addressing anxiety, shame, or trauma that often co-occurs

• building realistic routines and boundaries that support energy and focus

Therapy centers curiosity, collaboration, and respect for how your mind works.

Common reasons to seek support

Clients often reach out for support with:

• suspected or diagnosed adult ADHD

• chronic overwhelm or burnout

• difficulty with focus, organization, or task initiation

• emotional intensity or sensitivity

• people-pleasing or masking

• imposter syndrome or self-doubt

• anxiety or low mood linked to constant effort and exhaustion

You do not need a diagnosis to begin therapy, exploration and support are welcome at any stage.
