what is adhd?
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It’s a condition that affects how a person focuses, pays attention, controls impulses, and manages energy levels.
Think of your brain has a "control center" that helps you stay organized, focused, and on track.
In people with ADHD, that control center works a little differently.
what to expect from adhd therapy
Learn about how your brain works
I will help you to understand that ADHD isn’t about being lazy or broken—it’s just a different way of thinking. I'll explain:
- Why focusing is hard sometimes
- Why you might procrastinate or forget things
- Why you feel overwhelmed or anxious even with small tasks
It’s about understanding yourself, not blaming yourself, and having a lot of self compassion.
Building practical tools and strategies
We will work on real-life skills to help you manage everyday tasks.
Coping with emotions
We will discuss how to cope with the various emotions experienced.
Support with relationships and communication
Sometimes ADHD makes it hard to:
- Listen fully in conversations
- Manage conflict
- Keep up with friends or partners
We can work together to build better communication skills and navigate relationships more confidently.
A safe space to talk
Simply having a place to say, “This is hard,” without judgment is huge. I will help you sort through overwhelm, guilt, or pressure and remind you: you’re not alone in this.
