Throughout DC | Virginia | Pennsylvania | Oregon

Being a woman with ADHD comes with its own unique set of challenges.

Women with ADHD experience special pressures and difficulties because of what society expects from them, the roles they're supposed to play because they're women, and how ADHD affects their everyday lives. For women from BIPOC communities, ADHD experiences can be influenced by race, culture, and gender. Limited healthcare access, cultural stigma, and language barriers may create obstacles to diagnosis and treatment.

Maybe you’re noticing:

  • it’s hard to focus, stay organized, and pay attention in school, work, and daily tasks

  • feeling overwhelmed by multiple responsibilities, like taking care of family, work, and household chores

  • emotions can be intense and hard to control, causing difficulties in relationships and making friends

  • a struggle with low self-esteem, self-confidence, self-worth and feel like you are not as good as others

  • hard time controlling impulses, which can lead to making hasty decisions, interrupting others, or engaging in risky behaviors

You don't have to face this alone – support is available to help you thrive.

Individual therapy for Women

Women often experience challenges with attention, organization, and impulsivity. They may also be more likely to have emotional struggles like anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Hormonal changes during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause can affect ADHD symptoms.

Women with ADHD also have unique strengths like creativity, intuition, and problem-solving skills. They are resilient and find ways to overcome their challenges.

Therapy can provide valuable support for women facing challenges with ADHD. You can learn coping strategies, explore factors that may worsen your ADHD symptoms, and develop tools to better manage your emotions.
