    ADHD-Affirming Therapy

    Your brain isn’t broken. It’s just wired differently — and that’s okay.

    At Compassionate Voice Counseling, we take a neurodivergent-affirming approach to therapy for ADHD. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have known for years, our work together isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about understanding your nervous system, unlearning shame, and finding strategies that actually work for you.

    We know that ADHD can impact focus, emotional regulation, time management, and self-esteem. But what often hurts more is the internalized belief that you’re lazy, disorganized, or not trying hard enough. (Spoiler alert: You are trying hard — probably harder than most.)

    We see how burnout, people-pleasing, and perfectionism often mask ADHD.

    ADHD often hides behind a lifetime of overcompensating. If you’re tired of masking, living in chaos or shame, or feeling like you’re always a step behind, you’re not alone. We help you understand the “why” behind your struggles — and reconnect with the strengths, creativity, and resilience that often get overlooked.

    In therapy, we focus on:

    • Emotional regulation and reducing overwhelm
    • Tools for executive functioning that fit your brain
    • Shame resilience and self-compassion
    • Navigating relationships and communication differences
    • Support for co-occurring issues like anxiety, trauma, or RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria)

    We’re here to help you move through the world in a way that feels authentic, sustainable, and kind to your nervous system.
