ADHD Therapy in NYC
ADHD isn't a lack of discipline or a character flaw. Managing emotions, relationships, and stress may look different than for people who don’t have ADHD. Emotions can arrive quickly or intensely. Motivation can fluctuate. You may understand what would help and still struggle to follow through. Over time, this can lead to burnout, shame, or the sense that something is wrong with you.
ADHD Individual & Relationship Therapy
As a holistic, relationship specialist working through an attachment, body based approach, and emotionally focused lens to help with:
Emotional intensity and reactivity
Impulsivity and avoidance patterns
Anxiety, perfectionism, and old coping strategies
The gap between knowing and doing
How ADHD impacts relationships and identity
Untangling shame and internalized messages
Having language for these patterns is often relieving in itself. From there we go into direct actions that can improve your day-to-day life.
Types Of ADHDTherapy I Specialize In:
-
ADHD isn't a lack of discipline or a character flaw. It's a difference in how your brain regulates attention, time, and emotion. In therapy, we work with how it actually shows up for you: the executive function struggles, the emotional intensity, the shame that often builds up around years of being told to just try harder and possible medication management.
-
ADHD doesn't just affect the person who has it, it shapes the relationship. Missed cues, forgotten commitments, or mismatched processing speeds can get read as not caring, when it's often a nervous system working differently, not a lack of love.
This work focuses on understanding patterns rather than assigning blame. As we get to know how each of you functions best and how you differ, we can create practical plans for strengthening connection and equity in your relationship.
-
ADHD can shape intimacy in ways that get misread: a wandering mind mid-connection, mismatched desire for novelty versus routine, or difficulty staying present in the body when there's a lot of internal noise to manage. None of that reflects how much someone cares or how attracted they are to their partner; it's a nervous system processing differently, not a lack of interest. In therapy, we work with what's actually happening for you and your body, building intimacy that fits how your mind actually works instead of a script built for someone else's brain.
