Do you provide formal ADHD testing?

No. I do not provide formal neuropsychological or diagnostic testing. If you are seeking formal testing, you may need an appropriately qualified assessment provider. I can provide therapy for adults navigating ADHD-related concerns.

What ADHD-related concerns can therapy address?

Therapy may address procrastination, difficulty prioritizing, unfinished responsibilities, emotional overload, impulsive reactions, shame, relationship strain, inconsistent routines, anxiety, and coping behaviors that develop around ADHD.

Do you prescribe ADHD medication?

No. I do not prescribe medication. If you are interested in medication, you should speak with an appropriately licensed medical provider.

Can adult ADHD be missed earlier in life?

Yes. Some adults have spent years compensating through urgency, long work hours, perfectionism, or self-criticism before recognizing that attention, organization, and emotional-regulation difficulties may be part of a larger pattern.

Can ADHD contribute to substance use or compulsive behavior?

ADHD-related restlessness, emotional overload, impulsivity, sleep problems, and chronic frustration may sometimes contribute to reliance on substances or compulsive behavior. Therapy can help examine these connections without assuming that every person with ADHD has an addiction.

Adult ADHD Therapy for Men Who Are Tired of Feeling Behind

Adult ADHD can affect far more than concentration. It may show up as unfinished projects, missed deadlines, difficulty prioritizing, impulsive decisions, relationship strain, restlessness, emotional overload, or the constant feeling that you should be doing better than you are.

ADHD Does Not Always Look Like a Lack of Effort

Many adult men have spent years compensating through long hours, pressure, urgency, perfectionism, or self-criticism. They may appear productive while privately struggling to organize tasks, follow through, manage emotions, or recover after becoming overwhelmed.

I provide therapy for adults who are navigating ADHD-related patterns. Therapy is not a substitute for formal psychological testing or medication management. It can provide practical strategies, greater self-understanding, and support for the shame, frustration, anxiety, relationship problems, or substance-use patterns that sometimes develop around ADHD.

How Therapy May Help

Therapy can help identify the patterns underneath procrastination, avoidance, emotional overload, and inconsistent follow-through. Depending on your needs, I may draw from cognitive behavioral strategies, DBT-informed emotional-regulation skills, mindfulness, person-centered work, motivational approaches, and practical systems for planning and follow-through.

The goal is not to force you into someone else's idea of productivity. It is to build approaches that fit how you think, reduce unnecessary shame, and help you function more consistently in the parts of life that matter to you. Many men also find it helpful to explore therapy for adult men more broadly, since ADHD-related patterns rarely stay in one lane.

The approach

How Therapy May Help with ADHD-Related Patterns

Therapy for ADHD-related concerns is practical. The aim is to build approaches that fit how you think, reduce unnecessary shame, and support more consistent follow-through.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT helps identify the thought patterns underneath procrastination, avoidance, and self-criticism, and supports practical systems for planning and follow-through.

DBT-Informed Skills

Emotional overload and reactive communication are common ADHD-related struggles. DBT-informed skills support emotional regulation and more effective responses in difficult moments.

Motivational Interviewing

When routines and coping patterns are hard to change, Motivational Interviewing offers a respectful way to explore ambivalence and identify personally meaningful reasons for change.

Mindfulness and Strength-Based Work

Mindfulness helps you notice restlessness and distraction without immediately reacting, while strength-based work recognizes existing abilities instead of treating you as a problem to fix.

I may also integrate attachment-based, narrative, psychodynamic, existential, compassion-focused, and solution-focused concepts when they are relevant to your needs. The methods used in your sessions depend on your goals and what is clinically appropriate.
