ADHD Therapy for Adults
People with ADHD are entrepreneurs. Inventors. Pioneers.
Out-of-the-box thinkers who will someday cure cancer through an app.
We are the world explorers, the magic makers, the status-quo disruptors, and the discoverers of 36 uses for toothpaste.
We are innovators like…
- David Neeleman, founder and CEO of JetBlue Airways, who credits his ADHD for changing the airline industry by creating the e-ticket
- Paul Orfalea, who traces the success of the KINKO’s empire to his ADHD
- Charles Schwab, a leader in the discount brokerage business
- Richard Branson, owner of the Virgin Group, 400 companies worldwide, and his own island
With management, ADHD can be an asset. Without management, it can be crippling.
We can tell you our ideas on fighting world hunger or improving the criminal justice system, but ask us to call the accountant at tax time, plan for an upcoming meeting or think before we react, and we struggle.
People with ADHD are highly intelligent and capable of over-the-top success…if we stop placing limits on ourselves AND use tools and strategies to get – and stay – on track.
Yet fewer than 13% of men and 5% of women with ADHD will be diagnosed in their lifetime.
That means that your gifts may have gone unrecognized, been misinterpreted, or even been punished.
I’m here to change that.
ADHD is one of the most commonly and easily misdiagnosed conditions, even by psychiatrists and mental health professionals who mean well but aren’t specialists.
Only a small percentage of clinicians feel confident treating adult ADHD, yet it is highly responsive to treatment. Clinicians and physicians often misattribute symptoms of ADHD as stemming from other disorders like anxiety, PTSD/trauma, or depression. While these issues can sometimes co-occur with ADHD, more often than not, individuals spend years being misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, mistakenly blaming symptoms on character flaws or on psychological factors.
ADHD is NOT psychological. It is neurobiological. ADHD is a genetic, brain-based trait you are born with.
That’s why working with someone who SPECIALIZES in ADHD treatment for adults is key.
Working with someone who can help you not only alleviate your symptoms but also maximize your strengths and encourage you to embrace your gifts is downright life-changing!
