Neurodiversity-Affirming ADHD Therapy for Teens and Adults

Overcome Overwhelm: Start Your Journey to ADHD Confidence and Balance

If you have trouble handling frustration, starting and finishing tasks, staying on track, or balancing priorities, we can help.

ADHD affects more than just focus and organization; it impacts self-esteem, emotional regulation, and relationships throughout the lifespan.

Our approach to ADHD Therapy is neurodiversity-affirming, meaning we focus on helping teens and adults understand their unique brains, leverage their strengths, and develop effective coping strategies to live a fulfilling life. A formal diagnosis of ADHD is not required to begin treatment.

We offer comprehensive treatment options, including in-person therapy at our New Jersey and New York offices and secure virtual services throughout the region.

The Focus of Your ADHD Therapy Sessions

• Boost Self-Esteem and Self-Acceptance: Work through cycles of negative self-perception and cultivate a positive self-image by leveraging your unique strengths.

• Cope with Negative Emotions: Identify and manage feelings such as anxiety, low self-esteem, and mood swings that often co-occur with ADHD.

Therapy vs. Coaching: Finding the Right Support

While ADHD Therapy focuses on the emotional well-being, internal experience, and past patterns, Executive Function Coaching focuses strictly on practical, skill-based outcomes.

It is important to note that many therapeutic sessions naturally include integrated executive function skill-building, such as developing strategies for task management and organization, especially when those issues are tied to emotional regulation or self-esteem.

If your needs are primarily emotional and relationship-focused, therapy is the right fit. If your primary need is intensive, dedicated work on learning and implementing systems for productivity and organization, you may benefit from dedicated Executive Function Coaching.

Common Questions About ADHD Treatment

What is Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy?

Neurodiversity-affirming care views conditions like ADHD not as a deficit to be cured, but as a natural variation of the human brain. Our therapists work with your unique neurology, helping you build skills that align with your brain's operating system. The benefits include enhanced self-acceptance, improved self-esteem, and strategies that actually stick because they honor your authentic self.

Does ADHD Therapy replace Medication?

For many, the most effective treatment for ADHD is a multimodal approach that combines medication with psychotherapy. While medication helps regulate brain chemistry, therapy provides the tools, coping skills, and emotional support necessary to manage the disorder's lifelong challenges. We support you in coordinating your full treatment plan.

How Long Does Therapy Last?

The duration of therapy depends entirely on your specific goals and challenges. Most clients begin by meeting once a week for a period of months to build momentum and establish core skills. We then collaboratively adjust the frequency as you gain confidence and control, with some clients choosing to transition to check-in sessions as needed.
