Support That Celebrates, Not Tries to “Fix”

If you (or your child) have ADHD, you’ve probably heard it all before: “Try harder. Be more organized. Just focus.” But ADHD isn’t a lack of effort—it’s a neurotype, not a flaw. And at Time for Therapy, we don’t see ADHD as something to be “fixed.” Instead, we provide affirming, strength-based therapy that helps you understand your brain, work with it instead of against it, and create a life that fits you—not the other way around.

Our approach is built on science, lived experience, and deep respect for neurodiversity. In fact, our founder, Dr. Kyler Shumway, is the Audible Exclusive co-author of Neurodiversity and the Myth of Normal—an audiobook that challenges outdated ideas about ADHD, autism, and other neurotypes.

Here, you don’t have to apologize for how your brain works. You just get to be you.

When Is It Time to Get Therapy for ADHD?

ADHD comes with strengths and challenges, and therapy can help when:

✔ You’re struggling with certain tasks – Deadlines, organization, time management, and follow-through feel impossible.
✔ You feel overwhelmed by everyday life – Balancing work, relationships, and responsibilities is exhausting.
✔ You experience rejection sensitivity – Criticism, failure, or even small mistakes feel unbearable – likely because you’ve experienced more than others have, thereby creating a sandpaper effect.
✔ You struggle with emotional regulation – Big emotions hit fast and hard, and it’s difficult to calm down.
✔ You’re battling self-doubt – Years of feeling “too much” or “not enough” have taken a toll on your self-esteem.
✔ You’ve been masking for too long – Exhaustion from constantly hiding or compensating for your ADHD is wearing you down.

Therapy isn’t about forcing you to be “normal.” It’s about helping you navigate a world that wasn’t built for ADHD brains while honoring the way your mind truly works.

What Does Therapy for ADHD Look Like?

At Time for Therapy, we use a neurodiversity-affirming, practical, and emotionally supportive approach tailored to your needs. Therapy may focus on:

🧠 Executive Function Support – Finding realistic, sustainable ways to get things done without burning out.
💙 Emotional Regulation Techniques – Learning to navigate intense emotions, rejection sensitivity, and overwhelm in a way that works for you.
🌿 Self-Acceptance & Unmasking – Challenging the internalized messages that say you need to be “more disciplined” or “less scattered.”
🔍 Psychodynamic & Narrative Therapy – Exploring how past experiences have shaped your self-perception and rewriting the story in a way that feels empowering.
🔄 Internal Family Systems (IFS) for ADHD – Helping different “parts” of you (the planner, the procrastinator, the perfectionist) work together instead of against each other.

Therapy isn’t about turning you into someone you’re not—it’s about helping you build a life, structure, and mindset that fit your brain.

Self-Help Strategies for ADHD

While therapy provides structured support, here are some ADHD-friendly tools you can try:

✔ The “Body Doubling” Trick – Work alongside someone (virtually or in person) to stay engaged.
✔ Externalize Everything – Whiteboards, sticky notes, alarms—keep your reminders out of your head and in your environment.
✔ Create Dopamine-Friendly Routines – Pair boring tasks with music, movement, or small rewards.
✔ Embrace “Good Enough” Productivity – Progress is better than perfection.
✔ Set Up “Future You” for Success – Lay out your clothes, set reminders, and make things easy for tomorrow’s you.

These strategies can help, but ADHD isn’t just about habits—it’s about self-compassion, support, and unlearning years of self-doubt.
