Adult ADHD
Completely misunderstood and often out of place…
If you’ve been living with ADHD, you know it’s a windstorm of thoughts, a constant quest for focus, and a daily battle against distraction.
Impulsivity…
It’s like a shadow. You’ve tried running from it, but it always catches up. It appears as the sudden decision to rearrange the furniture at midnight or the road trip you take at a moment’s notice. That thrill of spontaneity often flows into guilt and regret of hastily made decisions.
Focus…
Trying to focus is like trying to catch a cloud. It’s there, sparkling and inviting… but the moment you try to grasp it, it slips away. Mundane tasks become impossible, and maintaining concentration feels like trying to hold water in your hands. No matter how hard you try, it quietly trickles away.
Time…
It’s an enigma. It stretches and shrinks, playing tricks on your perception. Deadlines that seemed far off are suddenly looming overhead. Sometimes, you’re fidgeting and acutely aware of just how long a minute is; other times, you’re feeling utterly detached from the clock on the wall and surprised that bedtime came and went hours ago.
Organization…
It’s a puzzle you’re always trying to solve. Your desk might seem chaotic to others, but you find your own brand of order within the chaos. It’s a constant battle against entropy – a balancing act of finding systems that work and adapting them to your ever-shifting life.
Emotions…
They’re tidal waves that sweep you off your feet and leave you lost at sea. Rejections feel like devastating blows, and successes are euphoric highs. Navigating the emotional landscape requires a delicate balance of self-awareness and self-compassion.
These are various aspects of “executive functioning,” the cognitive processes that govern our ability to plan, organize, initiate tasks, and maintain focus.
For those with adult ADHD, things like prioritizing and staying on task feel like scaling a mountain.
It’s important to know what’s really going on.
Just because you have issues with these things doesn’t mean you have ADHD. So, starting with a thorough assessment is essential to ensure we arrive at the right diagnosis.
Using a series of specialized assessments, we’ll get you the answers you need now. And don’t worry: Those answers won’t just be a list of what’s “wrong” with you.
We’ll identify areas where you may struggle, but we’ll also highlight what you’re good at, where you thrive, and how to leverage your strengths to achieve your goals.
We may or may not arrive at an ADHD diagnosis. But if we do, know this…
ADHD isn’t a curse… it’s a superpower.
It’s important to consider more than the challenges; you should know that remarkable strengths accompany adult ADHD. Working with a psychologist with specialized knowledge about the brain and ADHD can help channel these powers for personal and professional growth.
Let’s talk about these superpowers…
Hyperfocus…
When engaged in a topic of genuine interest, individuals with ADHD can dive into a state of unparalleled concentration. It’s a force that, when harnessed, can lead to extraordinary levels of creativity, innovation, and productivity. I can help you channel this intense focus into meaningful projects and endeavors, unlocking a wealth of untapped potential.
Creativity…
The ADHD mind thrives on the unconventional, excels in connecting the seemingly unrelated, and generates groundbreaking solutions. This inherent ability to think outside the box is a gift that can revolutionize industries, spark innovation, and lead to transformative breakthroughs. I can teach you to harness and apply this creativity in professional settings and personal endeavors.
Resilience and adaptability…
The ADHD brain possesses the dynamic ability to adjust to shifting circumstances quickly. Those with adult ADHD can leverage their problem-solving skills and quick-thinking to thrive in a changing environment. I can help you refine these skills and excel in environments that demand flexibility and adaptability.
Risk tolerance…
Many successful people share a willingness to take risks. In the world of business and life, the ability to see opportunities and seize them with confidence is a superpower in itself. I can help you channel your risk-taking tendencies and provide guidance for calculated decision-making and strategic planning.
Emotional sensitivity…
The heightened sensitivity often accompanying ADHD can give you unique insights into others’ emotions and social dynamics, allowing for deep connections and empathetic understanding.
