ADHD Therapist for Adults

Understanding Adult ADHD

For many people, ADHD doesn’t “end” after childhood. In fact, countless adults only recognize their ADHD later in life, after years of wondering why everyday tasks feel harder than they “should.”

If you’re living with ADHD as an adult, you may have heard labels like “lazy” or “unmotivated.” But here’s the truth: your brain works differently, and those differences impact how you focus, plan, regulate emotions, and show up in relationships.

Working with an ADHD therapist for adults can help you shift from shame and self-blame into self-understanding, skill-building, and confidence.

Let's Get Working

Signs You May Be Struggling With ADHD as an Adult

ADHD looks different for everyone, but some common struggles include:

  • Constant distraction or trouble focusing

  • Procrastinating until the last minute

  • Forgetting deadlines or appointments

  • Feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities

  • Impulsivity with spending, decisions, or relationships

  • Trouble sleeping or winding down at night

  • Emotional intensity, like frustration or rejection sensitivity

These challenges aren’t about a lack of willpower — they’re rooted in how your brain processes information and manages attention.

 How ADHD Therapy for Adults Can Help

Adult ADHD therapy is more than just learning tips for organization. It’s about creating a personalized toolkit that helps you navigate life in a way that feels sustainable and empowering.

In therapy, we’ll work on:

  • strategies for time management, organization, and follow-through.

  • learning how to manage overwhelm, frustration, and burnout.

  • shifting from self-criticism to recognizing your strengths.

  • improving communication and boundaries when ADHD symptoms get in the way.

  • exploring how you’ve hidden your struggles to “fit in” and building a more authentic life.

ADHD Therapy Tailored for Young Millennials and Gen Z

As an ADHD therapist for adults in Florida, I specialize in working with young millennials and Gen Z who are navigating:

  • Late ADHD or Autism diagnoses

  • Complex trauma and CPTSD alongside ADHD

  • People-pleasing, perfectionism, or over-functioning

  • Feeling behind in career, relationships, or “adulting” milestones

I use a neurodivergence-affirming, shame-free approach that focuses on uncovering your strengths while supporting your growth. You’ll never be asked to “just try harder” or “be more disciplined.” Instead, we’ll adapt strategies to your brain.

FAQs About Adult ADHD Therapy

How do I know if I really have ADHD as an adult?

Many adults don’t realize they have ADHD until later in life. If you struggle with focus, organization, procrastination, or emotional regulation — and these patterns have been consistent since childhood — therapy can help you gain clarity, even without a formal diagnosis.

Do you only work with ADHD, or can you help with other issues too?

Many clients with ADHD also struggle with trauma, anxiety, or depression. My approach integrates ADHD support with trauma-informed care so you can address the whole picture, not just the symptoms in isolation.

Can ADHD therapy be effective online?

Yes! Virtual ADHD therapy works well for adults, especially since it eliminates the stress of commuting and helps you access support from the comfort of your own space.
