Common Reasons for Seeking ADHD Therapy
-
Not performing to your full capabilities at school, home or work: Struggling paralyzingly with task initiation, time blindness, or organizing daily responsibilities
-
Difficulty Managing Emotions and Relationships: Experiencing intense, overwhelming emotional responses or Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), making interpersonal relationships and workplace feedback exhausting to navigate.
-
Major Life Transitions: Hitting a crisis point when external structure and routines disappear or change (new school, new semester, new living situation, new job/roles)
-
Co-occurring Anxiety and Depression: Seeking relief for the severe anxiety, chronic stress, or low self-esteem that frequently develops after years of living with an unsupported or misunderstood ADHD brain
Therapy for ADHD in East Lansing
Living with ADHD is often described as having a racecar brain with bicycle brakes. It impacts everything from regulating your attention and managing time to handling intense emotions and rejection sensitivity.
We help clients with ADHD move past the shame of "not trying hard enough." Together, we will explore tools to manage executive dysfunction, cope with sensory overload, and harness the incredible strengths—like hyper-focus and creativity—that often accompany an ADHD mind.
