Unlock Your Potential: Focused ADHD Coaching and Therapy for Adults, Teens, and Couples.
From Overwhelm to Action
Living with ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) means navigating a world built for a different operating system. It often translates to chronic procrastination, emotional regulation challenges, relationship stress, and the daily frustration of knowing what to do but struggling to start or finish it.
I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #158068) under the supervision of Melissa Volchock, LMFT #120203, who offers integrated ADHD support designed specifically to address these challenges. We combine the skill-building focus of ADHD Coaching with the emotional and relational insight of specialized ADHD Therapy to deliver comprehensive, lasting results.
Whether you’re an adult struggling with executive functions, a teen facing academic challenges, or a couple navigating the impact of ADHD on your relationship, the approach we embark upon is tailored to transform your unique neurotype into a source of strength.
Integrated Support: Coaching vs. Therapy
My integrated model provides two distinct paths, often used together, to ensure all areas of your life are supported:
1. ADHD Coaching (Focus: Skill-Building and Action)
Coaching is forward-focused and behavioral. It helps you close the gap between your intentions and your actions.
| We Focus On | Benefits You Will Gain |
| Executive Functioning: Organizing time, materials, and tasks. | Clarity: Reduced mental clutter and a reliable system for tracking commitments. |
| Goal Setting & Follow-Through: Breaking down large projects into manageable steps. | Momentum: Consistent progress on long-term goals and reduced procrastination. |
| Time Management: Mastering scheduling, prioritizing, and starting tasks on time. | Control: Less urgency, more proactive planning, and improved reliability. |
2. ADHD Therapy (Focus: Emotional Healing and Relationships)
Therapy addresses the emotional fallout and relational impact of living with ADHD.
| We Focus On | Benefits You Will Gain |
| Emotional Regulation: Managing intense feelings, irritability, and impulsivity. | Stability: Better control over mood swings and improved emotional resilience. |
| Shame and Self-Criticism: Addressing internalized beliefs about “not being enough” or “being lazy.” | Self-Acceptance: Healing the relationship with yourself and rebuilding core confidence. |
| Couple & Family Dynamics: Improving communication with non-ADHD partners or family members. | Connection: Healthier, more patient relationships with mutual understanding. |
Specialized Approach
I am an integrative therapist who draws from multiple evidence-based modalities as needed. He utilizes a compassionate and collaborative approach, and in this focus draws primarily from these strategies tailored for the ADHD brain:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Helps clients stop fighting their focus challenges and instead commit to value-driven actions, even when motivation is low.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifies and modifies the self-sabotaging thoughts and negative emotional loops associated with past failures.
- Systemic MFT Lens: Essential for couples and families, this approach helps shift dynamics away from conflict (e.g., “nagger/slacker”) toward collaboration and mutual support.
