I know it can be frustrating for adults with ADD/ADHD to find someone who really gets it. You've been told to "just" make a to-do list, or "just" buy a planner... If only it were that simple! ADHD is not simply a disorder among people who forgot to buy calendars. It is a different arrangement of wiring in the brain which comes with challenges, along with unique strengths and abilities. With patience and self-acceptance, you can improve your functioning and habits to begin making real progress towards your goals. Having the guidance of a caring professional who understands ADHD makes this process much less painful.
What you get in working with me is a guarantee that your therapist does understand the ADHD brain, because I don't mind sharing that I have one too! I can help you learn how to actually like yours, and build habits that help you to use it well. I do this patiently, with the warmth and understanding of someone who has been where you are standing.
Don't wait for things to change on their own! Let this be your very first step towards learning to like the person you are, while building a framework of skills and habits to help you be the best you can be. Contact me for a consultation to learn more about how I can help with both!
