ADHD therapy differs from other mental health treatment - look for therapists who understand neurodevelopmental differences and use strengths-based approaches. Many specialize in either adult or child ADHD - make sure they're trained in your age group. Adult ADHD therapists often focus on executive function coaching, time management, organization, and managing emotional regulation. They should understand that ADHD is neurobiological, not a character flaw, and help you build systems that work with your brain rather than against it. Some therapists collaborate with prescribers for medication optimization. Ask about their experience with ADHD-related challenges specific to your gender or career - this matters increasingly as ADHD in women and high-achieving adults gets better recognition.
