Understanding and Supporting the Way Your Brain Works

Living with ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence can be both a strength and a challenge. You might feel frustrated by difficulty focusing, staying organized, managing time, or following through on tasks—even when you really care. For some, emotions feel especially intense; for others, everyday responsibilities can lead to overwhelm or burnout.

At Hope Therapy, we provide therapy that honors the unique ways your brain works. Whether you’ve been formally diagnosed with ADHD or are just beginning to explore neurodivergence, we offer a supportive, affirming space to help you understand yourself and build tools that truly fit you.

A Neurodivergent-Affirming Approach

Our therapists understand that ADHD and neurodivergence aren’t character flaws—they’re different ways of thinking, feeling, and processing the world. We focus on helping you recognize your strengths, reduce shame, and develop personalized strategies for managing daily life.

Therapy may include:

  • Building executive functioning and organization skills
  • Managing overwhelm, distraction, and emotional regulation
  • Reducing self-criticism and perfectionism
  • Exploring identity and self-acceptance as a neurodivergent person
  • Improving communication and relationships
  • Learning tools for focus, structure, and self-care

We use evidence-based and strengths-focused approaches to help you navigate challenges while embracing your individuality.

Frequently Asked Questions About ADHD & Neurodivergent Therapy

Do I need an official ADHD diagnosis to start therapy?

No. Many people come to therapy because they notice patterns of distraction, procrastination, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty staying organized—long before receiving a formal diagnosis. Our therapists can help you explore whether ADHD or another form of neurodivergence may be part of your experience and support you in understanding your strengths and challenges.


What does therapy for ADHD look like?

Therapy for ADHD and neurodivergence is personalized to your unique needs. Sessions may include learning tools for time management, organization, and emotional regulation, as well as working through shame, stress, or burnout that can come from years of feeling misunderstood. We focus on helping you build systems that fit the way your brain works rather than trying to force a one-size-fits-all approach.


Is ADHD therapy just for children?

Not at all. While ADHD is often identified in childhood, many adults live for years without realizing how it affects them. We provide therapy for children, teens, and adults. Our therapists help each client build age-appropriate strategies for focus, confidence, and self-acceptance.


How is neurodivergent-affirming therapy different?

Neurodivergent-affirming therapy views ADHD, autism, and other neurotypes as natural variations in human experience—not as problems to be fixed. We don’t aim to make you “fit in” or suppress your traits; instead, we focus on helping you understand and work with your brain, reduce stress, and strengthen self-worth.


Can therapy help with emotional regulation and relationships?

Yes. Many people with ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence experience intense emotions, rejection sensitivity, or challenges with communication. Therapy can help you understand these patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and improve relationships with family, friends, or coworkers through compassion and practical strategies.


Will my therapist coordinate with other providers if needed?

Yes. When helpful, we collaborate with doctors, psychiatrists, schools, or occupational therapists to ensure you receive comprehensive care. Our goal is to create a supportive network that helps you thrive in all areas of life.


Can ADHD therapy help even if I’m already taking medication?

Absolutely. Many clients benefit from a combination of medication and therapy. While medication can help manage attention and impulse control, therapy helps you build coping skills, structure, and emotional awareness—creating lasting change beyond symptom management.
