When Your Brain Works Differently
You're capable and intelligent, but straightforward tasks feel unexpectedly difficult. You initiate multiple projects but struggle to complete them. Important deadlines approach despite ongoing awareness of them. Your partner expresses frustration about forgotten commitments. Work feels disproportionately challenging compared to others' experiences.
This isn't about laziness or lack of commitment. It's how ADHD affects executive function.
How ADHD Shows Up for Men
Men with ADHD often experience:
- Initiating tasks but struggling to complete them
- Forgetting important dates, appointments, or commitments
- Difficulty maintaining focus in meetings or conversations
- Intense focus on interests while neglecting other responsibilities
- Impulsive decisions that create complications
- Chronic lateness despite sincere intentions
- Relationship strain from what others perceive as carelessness
- Career performance below your actual capability
How Therapy Helps with ADHD
Medication may help with attention, but it doesn't teach organizational systems. Therapy provides:
Practical Organization
Build routines that actually sustain, using tools designed for ADHD brains.
Emotional Regulation
Manage frustration, rejection sensitivity, and the shame that often accompanies ADHD experiences.
Relationship Skills
Communicate about ADHD needs clearly without making excuses. Rebuild trust affected by ADHD symptoms.
Career Strategies
Navigate workplace challenges, improve time management, and leverage ADHD strengths.
If you're also dealing with anxiety or stress and burnout, we can address those alongside ADHD support.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not diagnosed with ADHD. Can therapy still help?
Yes. If you struggle with focus, organization, or impulsivity, we can work on these challenges regardless of formal diagnosis.
How is ADHD therapy different from regular therapy?
We adapt everything for how ADHD brains function: shorter discussion segments, visual aids, written summaries, concrete examples, and strategies that account for executive function differences.
Can therapy replace ADHD medication?
Therapy and medication address different aspects of ADHD. Many men benefit from both, but therapy alone can provide significant improvements through skills and strategies.
Will you judge me for my ADHD struggles?
No. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental difference, not a character flaw. We focus on building effective systems, not fixing something "wrong" with you.
