Therapy for ADHD – Neurodivergent‑Friendly, LGBTQ‑Inclusive Support That Keeps You Engaged
If you’re constantly drifting between mental fog and hyper‑focus, you know how exhausting it can be to finish a to‑do list, study for a class, or simply get through the day. You’re not lazy, you’re not “not trying”—you’re battling the wiring of ADHD. I get it, because I live it too.
Why Choose a Therapist Who Actually Understands ADHD?
- Neurodivergent therapist – I’m Autistic positive and affirming and I have ADHD, so I know the inner experience firsthand.
- LGBTQ‑affirming – Safe, respectful space for queer, trans, and non‑binary clients.
- No “fix‑you” agenda – I work with you, not on you. You set the goals; I provide the tools.
What a Session Looks Like for an ADHD Client
| Typical Need | How I Adapt |
| Need to fidget or hold a comfort object. | Video sessions allow toys, stress balls, or any calming item. |
| Prefer drawing, doodling, or solving puzzles while talking. | I welcome creative outlets; they can be part of the therapeutic process. |
| Struggle with staying on topic. | I use structured agendas, visual check‑lists, and short, focused segments. |
Overwhelm from masking or “doing the work” of neurotypical peers. | We explore authentic self‑expression and energy‑saving strategies. |
Common Reasons ADHD Clients Seek Therapy
- Organization & time‑management – Build systems that actually stick.
- Emotional regulation – Manage frustration, shame, and anxiety that arise from missed deadlines or social misunderstandings.
- Masking fatigue – Learn to drop the exhausting performance act and live more authentically.
- Relationship challenges – Navigate how ADHD impacts friendships, romance, and family dynamics.
Even if you’re reaching out for something other than ADHD (e.g., depression, trauma, identity concerns), the way ADHD shapes your perception and interaction means you deserve a therapist who “gets it.”
