ADHD
Virtual Therapy in Maryland
Shame frequently weaves itself into the ADHD experience, not because neurodivergence is a problem, but because the world often responds to it as though it is.
The weight of this shame can feel impossible to manage for many ADHDers, regardless of their diagnoses or when they were diagnosed. We work from the perspective that having ADHD is not something to fix; it is simply a different way of thinking and being.
Our therapeutic practice aims to help clients learn to work with their brains rather than fight against them, and to begin unlearning the shame they were never meant to carry.
In this work, we support ADHDers in navigating a variety of experiences, including:
Managing rejection sensitivity and burnout
Strategies for coping with executive function challenges including motivation and focus
Coping with sensory and emotional dysregulation
Acceptance of ADHD and how it manifests for each individual
Navigating social and relationship challenges
Coping with internalized ableism, perfectionism, and self-criticism
Processing late diagnosis or self-discovery in order to understand one’s story though a new lens
