Therapy for Navigating Life Transitions with ADHD

Life transitions can be exciting for people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and play to strengths such as enthusiasm and attraction to new endeavors. At the same time, the logistics and planning related to moving on, e.g. advancing from high school to college or changing jobs, can be challenging to tackle alone. When confronted with uncertainty about what a change will bring, some people with ADHD can also experience overwhelming emotions and anxiety.

A therapy well-suited to support life direction and transition such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be very effective. ACT therapists can help clients explore their values and clarify what really matters to them and what they want to focus on, e.g. choosing a college major or targeting a certain type of job. ACT can also help with easing anxiety through separating who you are and where you want to go from worry thoughts and feelings. Therapist who also specialize in ADHD can help with client organizational skills, e.g., prioritizing steps when planning a move and creating timelines so change is more predictable and expected.
