ADHD

Are you constantly overwhelmed and having trouble focusing?

Develop tools to navigate life with confidence

Living with ADHD can often feel like you’re running a marathon, but the route keeps changing, and everyone else seems to have a map you don’t. The challenges can show up in many ways:

  • Constant Overwhelm: Managing responsibilities at work, school, or home might feel like juggling too many balls at once, with one always about to drop.
  • Difficulty Focusing: You may find yourself distracted by every notification, sound, or thought, even when you’re trying to focus on something important.
  • Emotional Rollercoaster: Small frustrations might feel enormous, and emotions can seem hard to manage or explain.
  • Struggles with Organization: Staying on top of deadlines, appointments, or tasks might feel nearly impossible, no matter how hard you try.
  • Feeling Misunderstood: You might hear comments like “just try harder” or “why can’t you stay on track?” from others who don’t understand what it’s like to live with ADHD.

The combination of these experiences can sometimes lead to feelings of shame, frustration, or self-doubt.

ADHD isn’t about laziness or a lack of willpower—it’s about your brain working differently.

Therapy can help you embrace those differences, understand your strengths, and develop tools to navigate life with confidence.

What is ADHD therapy with ACT?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on:

  • Embracing Your Experience: ADHD doesn’t define you. We’ll work to cultivate self-compassion and acceptance, recognizing your strengths alongside your challenges.
  • Clarifying Your Values: What truly matters to you? ACT helps you focus on the things that give your life purpose and meaning.
  • Building Psychological Flexibility: Learn mindfulness and emotional regulation tools to navigate life’s ups and downs with greater ease.
  • Taking Action: Break free from patterns of avoidance and self-doubt to make meaningful progress toward your goals.

This approach goes beyond “fixing” ADHD symptoms—it’s about empowering you to thrive.
