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. Evidence shows therapy alone has limited effect on core ADHD symptoms, which are most effectively managed through medication, structured strategies, and lifestyle supports. Therapy, however, is highly effective for the emotional, social, and practical challenges that often accompany ADHD.

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.

Can therapy be done online in Arizona?
Yes! We provide secure telehealth sessions for adults across Arizona, delivering the same evidence-based care as our in-person sessions in Scottsdale.

What will I work on in therapy?

  • Emotional regulation and frustration tolerance

  • Organization, time management, and productivity
