Adult ADHD Treatment in Scottsdale AZ or Online
From Overwhelm to Clarity
ADHD Therapy for Adults
We provide ADHD counseling for adults in Scottsdale, AZ, and online, focusing on the secondary effects of ADHD rather than the condition itself. While core ADHD symptoms may be managed through medication, organizational strategies, and other supports, our therapy helps adults navigate the emotional, social, and practical challenges that often accompany ADHD, such as anxiety, frustration, low self-esteem, and difficulty with time management. We also provide guidance on coordinating with medication prescribers and implementing strategies for daily life.
Through evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavior Therapy, and mind-body techniques, we help adults build skills in areas such as:
Emotional regulation and frustration tolerance
Organization, time management, and productivity
Confidence and self-esteem
Problem-solving and practical coping strategies
Navigating relationships and social interactions
Our goal is to give adults the tools to manage the everyday impacts of ADHD, reduce stress, address co-occurring challenges, and create a more balanced, confident, and empowered life at work, home, and in relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can ADHD itself be treated in therapy?
Therapy focuses on secondary impacts of ADHD, such as emotional regulation, social skills, organization, and self-esteem.

How long does ADHD counseling take?
Each treatment plan is individualized. Some adults notice improvements in focus, emotional regulation, and organization within a few weeks, while others benefit from longer-term support for confidence, problem-solving, and coping strategies.
