Find an ADHD Therapist

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity levels. It can show up differently in each person—some may struggle primarily with focus and organization, while others experience more hyperactivity or impulsivity. ADHD is typically identified in childhood but continues into adulthood for many people, affecting work, relationships, and daily functioning in various ways.

Therapy can provide valuable support for people with ADHD by helping them develop practical coping strategies, improve organizational skills, and address emotional challenges that often accompany the condition. Many people benefit from learning techniques for managing time, breaking down tasks, and reducing procrastination. Therapy can also help with related concerns like anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship difficulties that may arise from living with ADHD.

When working with a therapist on ADHD-related concerns, you might explore how ADHD shows up in your daily life and identify specific areas where you'd like support. Sessions often focus on building practical skills like time management, organization, and emotional regulation. Your therapist may help you understand patterns in your behaviour, develop strategies that work with your brain rather than against it, and address any co-occurring challenges like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right therapist is an important step. On First Session, you can filter for therapists who work with ADHD and browse their profiles to learn about their approach. One helpful feature is the intro videos—watching a therapist's video can give you a sense of their personality and style before you book. All therapists on the platform have their credentials verified during onboarding, making it easier to focus on finding someone who feels like a good match for your needs.

Therapy may be helpful if ADHD is affecting your work, relationships, daily routines, or overall well-being. Many people seek support when they're struggling with focus, organization, time management, or the emotional impact of living with ADHD. Whether you have a formal diagnosis or are exploring whether ADHD might be affecting you, a therapist can help you understand your experiences and develop strategies that support your goals.

Getting started is straightforward. Browse the therapists on First Session who work with ADHD, watch their intro videos to find someone who resonates with you, and book a session at a time that works for your schedule. Many therapists offer online sessions, giving you flexibility in how you access support. When you're ready, you can book directly through the platform and begin your journey toward better understanding and managing your ADHD.
