ADHD Isn’t Everyone’s Cup of Tea — And That’s Why I Love It

Let’s face it — ADHD clients aren’t everyone’s favorites. They’re sometimes late, forget to schedule, miss “homework,” fidget during sessions, or go down rabbit holes mid-conversation. Like okay fair, but the struggle is real! Traditional therapy approaches like CBT don’t always, exactly, land. Some therapists even say they dread ADHD sessions.

But they’ve always been my favorites. Why? Maybe because when they rabbit trail, I see the connections they’re trying to make and help turn them into creative solutions. Maybe it’s because they understand my own fidgeting and occasional inattention; it means I’m fully engaged. Maybe it’s my ability to blend CBT techniques with lived ADHD experience. Or maybe it’s just the vibes, when you know, you know.

I don’t mind if they’re 5–15 minutes late. I schedule extra flex time to accommodate our shared time-blindness. I encourage clients to bring whatever they need to feel comfortable: snacks, fidgets, notebooks, even their cat. You’ll probably meet my cats at some point.

I understand the shame and rejection sensitivity ADHD can bring. My goal is always to make clients feel heard first, before offering constructive feedback. Therapy isn’t about identifying something “wrong”; it’s about discovering what doesn’t work and learning what does. Many of us have been failed by traditional systems, and I aim to give ADHD clients a safe space to rewrite that story.

Mentoring and helping people with ADHD is my passion. ADHD affects employment, relationships, health, and daily functioning, yet when symptoms are managed and strengths are harnessed, the potential is enormous. I’m honored to help clients thrive, transform their challenges into growth, and reclaim their narrative.

If you feel like your life is on fire, or therapy hasn’t worked for you in the past, maybe it’s time to try something different — schedule a virtual ADHD session and let’s see what works for your brain.
