ADHD & Executive Functioning

When everyday tasks feel harder than they should, it's easy to become frustrated with yourself. Therapy can help you understand how ADHD affects your daily life, develop strategies that work for you, and navigate the self-doubt or overwhelming feelings that can come with it.

Understanding ADHD

There are different ways to understand ADHD. Simply put, it is a brain that can feel simultaneously overactive and underresponsive.

That can mean a brain taking in a lot of information at once and having difficulty prioritizing what to look at so it looks at everything. In order to manage this, sometimes the brain will shut it all down or fixate on things that are only of personal interest.

However, it might not always be a convenient time for our brain to shut it all down. That way of management might interfere with our daily tasks or personal goals.

ADHD & Every day life

Last minute deadlines get you moving the most.

Getting feedback that you "talk a lot" when you are just processing out loud.

Knowing exactly what you need to do, but feeling unable to start.

Locking into hyperfocus on personal interests for hours.

Writing giant to-do lists just to keep track of everything.

You feel chronic fatigue from managing all the things in your brain.

Vivid emotions: matters feel crucial, criticism feels devastating, and boring feels painful.

Losing touch with loved ones, not out of a lack of care, but simply forgetting to reach out.

Rewiring Self-Esteem

Therapy helps you understand exactly how your unique brain works. Together, we look at relationship patterns and repair self-esteem that may have been worn down by years of chronic self-criticism, perfectionism, or feeling like you are falling behind.

Strengthening Executive Functions

Executive functioning skills, like planning, emotional control, and task initiation, are the mental tools we use to manage daily life. Instead of forcing rigid systems that just leave you feeling frustrated, we will work together to find gentle, practical strategies that work with your brain to strengthen these areas.
