Therapy for adults with ADHD
Sue E. Rapp, LCSW-R
The ADHD paradox
My clients struggle as you do. Despite having the gifts of ADHD -creativity, fast thinking, a great sense of humor, and incredible resilience- they often can’t turn their great ideas into action.
What brings people to therapy
When people come to see me, they’re feeling defeated. Life feels chaotic. The effort to ‘fit in’ to a neurotypical world feels like walking around in shoes that don’t fit – tight, exhausting, and demoralizing. There’s a heavy emotional toll: frustration, guilt, anxiety, and self-blame.
The hidden struggle
Even though you’re managing a career, a home, and a family, there’s an undercurrent of shame and overwhelm. You’ve always found ways to be resourceful, but keeping up with bills, deadlines, or a million open browser tabs can feel impossible.
What therapy with me is like
Therapy with me is not about fixing you. It’s about understanding your brain, making peace with the past, and building strategies that align with how your brain works -not how someone thinks it should work.
We’ll build routines that stick and reframe the self-critical stories you’ve carried for years. Reviewing your life through the lens of ADHD can be enormously helpful, even uplifting.
My background in Philosophy gives me an edge in critical thinking and asking questions. Underlying assumptions can be seen, questioned and overcome.
