You are more than the hidden feelings of shame you carry.
Therapy for ADHD in Adults in Kalamazoo MI
Are you struggling with managing home, work, school - just life?
Maybe you recently got in trouble at work for missing a big deadline, or perhaps you friends are upset again because you forgot about plans you had made with them. You may be having a hard time sitting still during your work day, or simply unable to stay focused on any tasks at all. Perhaps you’re feeling like you can’t seem to do the simple things that seem to come so easily to everybody else.
Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:
Making and missing small mistakes in your work
Controlling the amount of attention you give things - either being overly-focused on things or not giving them any attention at all. Struggling to find a happy medium.
Having difficulty talking too much or stopping yourself from interrupting others to share your point of view or a funny story that they reminded you of.
Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.

How therapy works
It may feel impossible now, but you can feel good enough and accomplished. You can be better with time management and controlling your impulsivity. You can be proud of yourself. And we can help you get there.
Therapy for ADHD can help you…
Identify the root of the problems you’re experiencing
Understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected and impact each other
Learn the tools that will help resolve your problems, so you can feel like you can enjoy all of life again
We will help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to ADHD comes from a place of hope and understanding: believing that you are not the “problem”, but that it’s simply the cycles we fall into that need fixing.
You don’t have to live life feeling like you are a failure. You don’t have to see yourself as broken or less-than.
We can help you get there.

Let’s be honest, we are going to ask you “how does that make you feel” A LOT! But we will also help you build up the tools needed to truly be able to answer that question! Clients often describes session with us as feeling like a conversation - things are relaxed and low-pressure. We will talk about how our thoughts-feelings-behaviors are present in our day-to-day life and how/why we want to change them. Sounds hard, and it is on a certain level, but you truly will have a helpful ally in the journey to understand this better.

There is no cookie cutter answer here. Therapy is entirely what you make of it. If you are looking for a time-limited treatment course, we can talk about if this feasible for what we are trying to achieve or not. However, we often encourage clients to come in with an open mind to explore. Often there are many layers to the onion that is our mental health and it often isn’t an easy 1-2-3 fix. That being said, all of our treatments will be uniquely created for you, so we can work together to find a plan that works for you. Your needs and desires will always be a top priority for me.
