These difficulties can affect work, parenting, relationships, self-esteem, and everyday responsibilities. Therapy focuses on understanding what gets in the way while developing practical strategies for managing emotions, organizing your life, following through on goals, and feeling more capable in your day-to-day life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is executive functioning?
Executive functioning includes the mental skills that help us plan, organize, prioritize, manage time, begin tasks, regulate attention, and follow through.
Can therapy help with emotional regulation?
Yes. Therapy can help you identify emotional triggers, understand your reactions, develop coping skills, and practice responding differently when emotions become intense.
Do you work with adults with ADHD?
Yes. ADHD can affect organization, time management, procrastination, emotional regulation, relationships, and follow-through. Therapy can focus on how these challenges affect your everyday life.
Why do I know what I need to do but still can't do it?
Difficulty following through isn’t necessarily a matter of motivation. Anxiety, ADHD-related executive functioning challenges, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, and stress can all make it difficult to start or complete tasks. Therapy can help identify what’s getting in the way.
