ADHD Counseling

ADHD Therapy for Austin residents.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just wired a little differently—and that’s okay.

If you live in Austin, you already know how much energy this city brings. There’s always something happening—live music, food trucks, community events, tech meetups. For some people, it’s invigorating. But for others, especially those with ADHD (or those who think they might have it), it can feel like the volume is turned up on everything all the time.

You might be constantly overstimulated, overwhelmed, or just… tired. Tired of forgetting things, tired of procrastinating, tired of trying so hard to stay on top of life while wondering why it seems so much easier for everyone else.

That’s where ADHD counseling comes in. Whether you’ve been formally diagnosed or you’re still wondering if ADHD even applies to you, therapy can help you make sense of what’s going on—and finally find some relief.

Not Sure If You Have ADHD? That’s Okay. You Can Still Start Counseling.

Here’s something a lot of people don’t realize: you don’t need an official diagnosis to benefit from ADHD counseling. In fact, many people don’t walk into therapy saying, “I have ADHD.” They come in saying things like:

“I’ve always been this way, but it’s starting to affect my work and relationships.”
“I feel like my brain is going 100 miles an hour and I can’t turn it off.”
“I’m constantly dropping the ball and I don’t know why.”
“I relate to all the ADHD stuff I see online, but I’ve never been tested.”

Sound familiar?

That curiosity—that “maybe this is something I should look into”—is more than enough reason to start therapy. Together, we can explore what’s going on for you, what patterns are showing up, and whether ADHD is part of the picture. And if it is? Great. We’ll build tools around that. If it isn’t? Therapy still helps.

Either way, we focus on you—not just a diagnosis.

Why ADHD Feels Especially Challenging in a City Like Austin

Austin has a unique vibe. It’s laid-back and lively at the same time. There’s a huge creative scene, an intense tech industry, major universities, and a culture that values innovation and hustle. If you’re someone who thrives on novelty and stimulation, it’s a dream… until it’s not.

You might feel like your nervous system is constantly “on.” Maybe your work life is fast-paced, your social life is full of pressure, and your brain just can’t seem to rest. Maybe the open office environments, endless to-do lists, or lack of structure make it really hard to focus and finish what you start. Or maybe it’s the opposite—you’ve started isolating, canceling plans, or avoiding things altogether because everything feels too hard to keep up with.

That push-pull dynamic—wanting to do everything, but feeling like you can’t do anything—is so common in ADHD. Especially in a place like Austin, where there’s always more to see, do, and be part of.

In counseling, we can work on how to move through that. Not by telling you to slow down or be someone you’re not—but by helping you figure out what kind of structure actually works for your brain and your life.

How ADHD Therapy Can Actually Help (It’s More Than Just Time Management)

A lot of people assume ADHD therapy is just about learning productivity hacks or buying another planner. But real ADHD therapy goes way deeper than that.

This is about untangling the shame, the burnout, and the self-blame you’ve probably been carrying for years. It’s about finally understanding that your brain just works differently—and building tools that match your rhythm.

In our sessions, we might:

Explore ways to manage emotional overwhelm (because ADHD isn’t just about attention—it’s often about intensity).
Look at how ADHD is showing up in your relationships or communication style.
Work on routines that feel realistic—not perfect.
Talk about rejection sensitivity or that loud inner critic that tells you you’re not doing enough.
Identify strengths you didn’t even realize you had (because yes—ADHD brains can be powerful, creative, and uniquely capable).

This is a space where you don’t have to pretend you’ve got it all together. You get to show up messy, scattered, frustrated, curious—however you are. We start from there.
