Therapy for Adults with ADHD

Updated: Feb 17

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is often associated with children, but it’s a condition that many adults face as well. For adults with ADHD, the challenges of staying organized, managing time, and maintaining focus can significantly impact daily life, work, and relationships. At the Counseling Center of South Jersey, we believe that therapy can be a powerful tool in helping adults with ADHD develop strategies to thrive.


What ADHD Looks Like in Adulthood

While the symptoms of ADHD can vary, common signs in adults include difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, impulsivity, and trouble managing responsibilities. Adults with ADHD may find themselves constantly misplacing items, missing deadlines, or feeling overwhelmed by tasks that others seem to manage with ease. This can lead to feelings of frustration, anxiety, and even low self-esteem.

If you’re struggling with these challenges, know that you’re not alone—and there are ways to make life easier.


The Role of Therapy in Managing Adult ADHD

Therapy can be a transformative part of managing ADHD, offering skills and strategies to cope with daily challenges. Here’s how working with a therapist can make a difference:


  • Developing Coping Skills: Therapy can help you identify specific areas where you struggle and work on practical solutions. This might include time-management techniques, tools for organizing tasks, and strategies to reduce distractions in your daily routine.

  • Building Structure and Routine: ADHD often makes it difficult to establish routines, but structure can be incredibly helpful. A therapist can guide you in creating daily schedules that are realistic and manageable, making it easier to stay on track with work, chores, and personal goals.

  • Addressing Emotional Challenges: Adults with ADHD may experience feelings of shame, frustration, or anxiety due to their symptoms. Therapy provides a space to process these emotions, understand how ADHD affects self-esteem, and build a more compassionate perspective toward oneself.

  • Improving Communication and Relationships: ADHD can impact relationships with loved ones, as impulsivity or forgetfulness may lead to misunderstandings. Therapy can help you learn how to communicate your needs effectively, repair strained relationships, and find ways to connect more deeply with others.

  • Strengthening Focus and Mindfulness: Many therapists incorporate mindfulness practices into treatment for ADHD. Mindfulness can help you become more aware of distractions and learn to bring your attention back to the present moment, improving focus and reducing stress.
