ADHD
Counseling & Therapy
Reclaim Your Sense of Control and Move Forward with Confidence and Optimism
Living with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be exhausting.
You may struggle to prioritize tasks; feel scattered, distracted, and frustrated with yourself; or be tired of people telling you that you’re “too sensitive,” “don’t really care,” or “aren’t trying hard enough,” despite the fact that you’re trying harder than most people ever see.
And the more you try to do, the more things seem to fall through the cracks.
All the while, the inner chaos becomes more relentless and the emotional weight starts to build …
You become ashamed of your struggle to stay organized or keep commitments. You may avoid starting things altogether out of fear you won’t follow through. And all of your relationships suffer – your relationships with colleagues and employers, family and friends, and even your relationship with yourself.
We get it.
If you’re like many of the clients who come to us for ADHD counseling and therapy, you’re likely asking yourself questions like:
- “Why can’t I just get things done like everyone else?”
- “Why do I always feel like I have a million things going on and can never finish any of them?”
- “Why does everything – even the little things – always feel so overwhelming?”
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re far from alone!
Unfortunately, many people with ADHD turn to coping strategies that can do more harm than good – denial, avoidance, substance use, and other behaviors that offer temporary relief from the chaos and pain but can have serious, long-term, negative consequences.
Fortunately, there is a different path forward. You don’t have to keep living this way.
We know what it’s like to always feel like you’re falling behind, to always be playing catch-up, and to always be wondering what’s wrong with you.
But here’s the truth …
Nothing is wrong with you. Your brain just works differently.
ADHD counseling and therapy are all about helping you understand how your brain works, so you can work with it instead of constantly battling against it, accept your uniqueness, reclaim a sense of confidence and control, and learn to create a life you truly love.
Contact us today, schedule a free, 15-minute initial phone consultation, ask us any questions you have, and learn how the ADHD counseling and therapy services we provide can help you reclaim your sense of control and move forward in your relationships and life with confidence and optimism.
How ADHD Counseling & Therapy Can Help
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – formerly known as just Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD) – is actually a really poor term for a condition that has little to do with a “deficit” or lack of attention.
ADHD is actually about the difficulty one has controlling or focusing one’s attention.
And ADHD is often used by many as something of a “catch-all” term to describe similar or related conditions, such as Executive Function Disorder and other neurodivergent behaviors.
This being said, whether you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD or you simply relate to the symptoms – chronic disorganization, forgetfulness, impulsivity, time blindness, emotional overwhelm …
ADHD counseling and therapy can help you:
- Understand what ADHD is, its symptoms, and why the issues you’ve been struggling with are not your fault
- Better navigate emotional dysregulation and reduce feelings of overwhelm
- Clarify what you want, need, and value
- Communicate more effectively and authentically and improve your connection with others
- Learn the skills and tools to stay organized, focused, and productive
- Cultivate self-compassion and let go of shame
- Set concrete goals and practical, custom-tailored strategies to help you achieve them

You deserve to feel seen, heard, and genuinely valued for who you are. And you deserve support.
With the right support, you can start to feel more grounded, capable, and confident in your daily life.
Counseling and therapy are about much more than just “coping” with ADHD – they’re about creating real, meaningful change.
At Humboldt Therapy, we help individuals just like you make sense of the patterns that have felt confusing or self-defeating for years.
Our therapists don’t come from a place of judgment or “fixing.” We come from a place of understanding.
We recognize that ADHD isn’t just about focus or hyperactivity – it can impact every area of life, from relationships to self-esteem, productivity, and emotional regulation. And while ADHD may not go away, the way you relate to it – and to yourself – can change.
If you’re ready to better understand who you are and create the change you seek, contact us today, schedule a free, 15-minute initial phone consultation, ask any questions you have, and find out how our ADHD counseling and therapy services can help you create a more grounded, connected, and confident life.
Do We Have the Best ADHD Therapist for You?
While many people with ADHD struggle with similar symptoms, we’re all unique individuals. We come from different backgrounds. We face challenges in different ways. And we all take different paths towards healing and growth.
This is why – just as no one ADHD treatment method works equally well for every individual – no one clinician can be the best ADHD therapist for every client.
Fortunately …
Humboldt Therapy is much more than just one therapist!
We know how important it is to find the right therapist – someone who not only understands ADHD but also sees you as a whole person.
Our diverse and compassionate team of therapists brings a range of backgrounds, identities, and therapeutic styles – so we can help you find someone who resonates with you.
And several members of our team specialize in helping clients with ADHD. So there’s a good chance at least one of our clinicians can help you achieve your goals.
Whether you’re looking for someone who’s more structured and practical, or someone who’s warm, collaborative, and emotionally attuned, we’ll match you with a therapist who can meet you where you are.
You’ll also benefit from the depth of shared knowledge within our practice …
Our therapists regularly consult with one another and stay up-to-date on the latest research and techniques in ADHD treatment, ensuring that you receive informed and effective care.
And because we understand how ADHD intersects with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, we take a holistic view of your needs.
We’re here to:
- Partner with you to explore what’s getting in the way, without shame or blame
- Help you focus on practical, real-world tools and emotional insight that actually fit you
- Deliver evidence-based ADHD treatment techniques with compassion
- Welcome and support people of all backgrounds, genders, and neurotypes, including practicing from a feminist therapy and social-justice lens
- Make counseling and therapy as accessible as possible by offering sliding scale payment options and accepting Aetna, Blue Shield, Medi-Cal Partnership, and Central California Alliance for Health – we can even help you verify your out-of-network benefits using Mentaya (see below)
Of course, the only way to find out if we have the best ADHD therapist for you is to contact us, schedule an initial consultation, and see if one of our team members feels like a good fit for you.
We know how easy it is to become discouraged when you’ve felt stuck for so long …
But change is possible.
You can learn to manage ADHD in a way that is sustainable and empowering. You can quiet the inner critic, stop the cycle of burnout and shame, and show up for your life with more clarity and ease.
And you don’t have to figure out how to do so on your own.
