ADHD Therapy – A Trauma-Informed Approach

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • You constantly juggle multiple tasks but rarely feel like you’re finishing anything.

  • You procrastinate—then beat yourself up for it.

  • You feel sensitive or easily overwhelmed, but don’t know why.

  • Emotional regulation feels impossible—tiny things can send you into panic, shutdown, or self-blame.

  • You wonder if it’s really ADHD… or anxiety… or maybe both.

If this sounds like you, you’re not lazy or broken. Your brain just works differently, and therapy can help you understand it—and finally feel some relief.

ADHD and Trauma Often Overlap

Many adults with ADHD also experienced:

  • Chaotic or unpredictable childhoods

  • Caregivers who misunderstood their needs

  • Shame from being called “too much” or “not enough”

  • Struggles with attachment, trust, or boundaries

Over time, ADHD symptoms and trauma responses can blur together, creating:

  • High sensitivity & emotional dysregulation

  • Overthinking & anxiety

  • Difficulty starting or finishing tasks

  • Low self-esteem from years of misunderstanding

That’s why we take a trauma-informed approach to ADHD therapy —because it’s rarely “just ADHD.”

Individual ADHD Therapy vs. Therapy Intensives

Individual Therapy vs. Therapy Intensives for ADHD

Many clients see progress with weekly individual sessions, but if you’ve been struggling with ADHD for years or if you want deeper, faster results, therapy intensives are an amazing choice.

How They’re Different:

Individual Therapy

Pace: Gradual, session by session

Time: 50 minutes weekly

Best for: Ongoing support

Results: Steady progress

Intensive Therapy

Pace: Focused deep-dive in a single day or multi-day

Time: 3–6 hours in one day (or multi-day)

Best for: Breaking through stuck patterns & long-held shame

Results: Deep, accelerated shifts

An intensive is perfect for ADHD clients who:

  • Feel like they’ve tried everything but still feel stuck

  • Want to deeply explore trauma, shame, or anxiety linked to ADHD

  • Prefer fewer sessions but want greater impact

  • Many describe it as a reset—clarity and relief in one day.

FAQs About ADHD Therapy

  • If you struggle with

    • focus

    • procrastination

    • emotional overwhelm

    • feel like you’re “always behind”

    you might have ADHD—or trauma responses that look like ADHD. Therapy can help clarify what’s happening and give you tools that work for your brain.

  • Sometimes! Trauma and ADHD symptoms often overlap. That’s why we use a trauma-informed lens to explore how your past experiences may affect focus, memory, and emotional regulation.

  • Both weekly sessions and intensives can be beneficial, but they’re designed differently.

    • Individual sessions are 50 minutes long and help you build insight and regulation over time.

    • Therapy intensives are deep-dive sessions (3–6 hours) that can help you break through long-held patterns and deeply shift your relationship with your ADHD brain in a single day.

    Intensives are ideal if you’ve been living with ADHD for a long time or feel stuck in patterns that just won’t shift.

  • Many clients have tried strategies before that didn’t stick. Our approach combines practical ADHD tools with trauma healing and nervous system regulation, so you’re not just “managing symptoms”—you’re addressing the root causes.

  • We’ll begin with a 15-minute consultation where we’ll talk about what you’re experiencing and whether individual therapy or an intensive might be the best fit.

  • It depends on your goals. Some clients come in for a short-term focus (8–10 sessions), while others choose to work longer (20+ sessions) for deeper ADHD ongoing support.

    Therapy intensives can also accelerate your progress, helping you with executive functioning issues in just 1–2 focused sessions.
