ADHD Therapy for High Functioning Adults who Feel Stuck
Improve focus and follow-through, reduce overwhelm with structured, practical support.
Knowing you have ADHD is only the beginning
A diagnosis explains a lot. But it doesn’t automatically make things easier.
The procrastination, the overwhelm, the frustration - those don’t disappear when you finally have a name for what’s going on.
Working with me
ADHD therapy with me is structured, practical, and built around the way your unique brain actually works - not the way you wish it did.

This is for you if…
You were diagnosed recently and you’re still figuring out what that actually means for your daily life.
You’ve known for years but you’ve been just getting by for a long while - using sheer effort and self-criticism to keep up.
You’re high-functioning on the outside but worn out on the inside. You’re ready for things to change.
You’ve tried the apps, the planners, the systems. They work for a few weeks and then they don’t.
Your relationships are taking a hit. Your partner reminds you of what you haven’t done. You feel guilty. The cycle repeats.
The anxiety underneath it all is often more tiring than the ADHD itself - and it’s not separate. It’s connected.
The goal isn’t to turn you into a different person. It’s to help you work with the brain you have - and stop fighting it.
The people I work with are intelligent and capable - but they feel like everything takes more effort than it should, and they feel bad about themselves.
Here’s what we’ll work on together
ADHD therapy with me at Bounce! Counseling & Coaching isn’t generic support or handing out worksheets. The focus areas below are drawn from what high-functioning adults with ADHD actually struggle with:
-
task initiation - getting started
time blindness - being realistic about how long tasks will take
prioritizing - when everything feels equally urgent
follow-through - finishing what you started
working memory strategies that fit your life
-
rejection sensitivity dysphoria - why criticism hits you harder than it hits others
anger and irritability: overstimulation → shutdown → explosion
shame and self-criticism - the internal voice that reminds you when you’ve messed up or let someone down
managing the emotional crash after hyperfocus periods
learning to pause before reacting - without suppressing everything
-
grieving the years spent not knowing - and the opportunities missed
rewriting the ‘I’m deficient’ story you’ve carried since childhood
understanding what is ADHD, what is you, and where that line actually is
building a realistic and compassionate self concept
what it means to succeed on your own terms - and not someone else’s timeline
-
forgetting things that matter to the people you love
communicating your needs without it becoming an argument
the impact of ADHD on parenting - especially if your children also have it
the overfunctioning Vs under functioning cycle that leaves no-one happy
rebuilding trust when your reliability has taken a hit
-
managing a demanding job when your ADHD strategies have hit a ceiling
disclosure decisions: when and if to tell your employer
hyperfocus as a tool, not just a liability
the perfectionism-procrastination trap: why high standards make starting things harder
burnout: what it looks like when ADHD and masking collide
How ADHD therapy with me works
-
Therapy with direction
You won't spend 50 minutes talking in circles. Sessions have structure, goals, and a plan so you know what you're working toward.
-
Active, not passive therapy
We ask questions, challenge patterns, and help you connect the dots. Warm and supportive — but not just nodding along.
-
Real-life change
Sometimes there are things to practice between sessions so that change happens outside the therapy room too.
-
Looking beneath the surface
Anxiety, shame, self-doubt, and old experiences can sometimes drive ADHD struggles. We work on what's underneath, not just symptoms, with EMDR. Learn more about EMDR here
-
Therapy with an end goal
The goal isn't therapy forever. It's helping you understand your brain, build skills that stick, and feel better in everyday life.
Not sure what you need?
Here’s the short version:
You have a diagnosis (or a strong working assumption) and you want structured, practical support managing your symptoms, your relationships, and your working life. You want therapy that produces change.
You want ADHD therapy if…
You want a formal clinical evaluation - with standardized tools, a diagnostic interview, and a written report you can share with your doctor. An assessment is where diagnosis happens and recommendations made. Therapy and coaching is what happens after.
