ADHD
Being neurodiverse in this neurotypical world comes with a lot of unique challenges. If you have or suspect you have Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), we take a holistic approach so you can learn to work WITH your brain instead of against it. Together, we will unpack how ADHD impacts various areas of your life, from work to relationships to mental health.
To help you reach your goals, we will:
Reinforce concrete self-care skills
Develop systems and structure to help you stay organized
Start small to build confidence and tackle procrastination and motivation
Practice mindfulness to slow down and be intentional
Build resilient habits through persistence, instead of chasing consistency and perfection.
To tend to your mental health, we will:
Process the grief, sadness, anger, and all the other emotions that can come with a diagnosis, especially if you’re diagnosed later in life
Cultivate self-compassion to heal from years of blame, shame, and feelings of not-enough-ness
Examine the intersectionality of neurodiversity, culture, and gender
Rewrite old stories of who you are, what you’re worth, and what you deserve
This combination of inner and outer work can lead to big shifts. You’ll learn to treat yourself with kindness, accept yourself as you are, and give yourself the support you need to build the life you want to live.
Please note: I cannot prescribe medication. If you are seeking medication or accommodations in school/work settings, I recommend you seek out a full psychological assessment, as many places do not accept an ADHD diagnosis from an LMFT.
