ADHD affects so much more than focus or organization—it shapes how you experience the world. For some, it can be thoughts moving at warp speed or overthinking to the point of overwhelm. For others, it’s the challenge of sitting still, staying on track, or racings thoughts and emotions that seem to flood in all at once. Hyperactivity can look like constant motion, an endless stream of ideas, or even internal restlessness that no one else sees. Therapy helps you uncover how ADHD shows up in your life and provides tools to navigate these challenges with more ease and confidence.
Living with ADHD can also mean often feeling misunderstood by others or confused by second-guessing and self-doubts. Insecurities, overthinking, or impulsivity can create tension with loved ones or coworkers, leaving you wishing others better understood your perspective. Therapy creates a safe and judgment-free space to explore how you're impacted. Together, we’ll find ways to handle frustrations, strengthen connections, and build on your strengths.
Whether you’re managing ADHD for yourself or supporting a loved one, therapy helps you work through the struggles and feel better with practical strategies to create more balance in daily life and relationships.

Our Preferred Evidence-Based Treatments
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an empirically supported treatment that helps change distressing thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression. Through CBT, you'll learn to identify and challenge negative thoughts, reframe irrational beliefs, and replace them with healthier, more realistic perspectives. CBT also focuses on breaking patterns of self-doubt and worry by learning how to re-evaluate situations and adopt more constructive thinking. These tools empower you to make lasting changes in how you think and respond.
ERP is a structured therapy that helps reduce distress from obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. It involves gradual, guided exposure to feared situations or thoughts without doing the habits or rituals you usually do to feel better. This process helps decrease anxiety over time and breaks the cycle of obsessions and rituals. You remain fully present and supported throughout, learning new ways to tolerate discomfort and regain control. ERP is especially effective for OCD, skin picking, hair pulling, and related anxiety challenges. Sessions are available in person and via telehealth throughout California.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness principles to help individuals manage emotions, navigate challenges, and improve relationships. It focuses on four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. By building these skills, DBT empowers individuals to replace destructive patterns with practical, lasting strategies that promote resilience, balance, and a greater sense of control in daily life.
EMDR helps your brain reprocess stuck memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or intense. Unprocessed experiences can trigger or worsen anxiety, shame, distress, and physiological reactions. After EMDR, difficult experiences often feel neutral, distant, or easier to manage. We use techniques like eye movements or handheld tappers to activate both sides of the brain, supporting your brain’s natural ability to heal and make sense of the distressing experiences. Sessions follow a structured 8-phase protocol to help you build resilience and process memories, while fully awake and alert. EMDR is effective for distress related to loss, illness, trauma, childhood wounds, and relationship pain.
