Living with ADHD can mean working twice as hard to manage time, follow through on tasks, and keep your emotions in check — especially in work, school, or relationships. At Radcliffe Psychotherapy Clinic, we offer ADHD therapy in Toronto that respects both the challenges and strengths that come with ADHD.
Whether your therapy sessions are in-person at our Toronto clinic or online, our approach is evidence-based, adapted to your needs, and shaped by therapists who understand ADHD from both professional and lived experience.
How Therapy Can Help ADHD
Each person can experience ADHD differently. For some people, it shows up as focus or time management challenges; for others, it’s emotional overwhelm, relationship strain, or chronic stress. Therapy can help you make sense of these patterns and begin developing supports that work for you.
ADHD Therapy Can Help You If You're Experiencing:
Inattention and Trouble Focusing
You might find your attention drifting, and your therapist can help you practice techniques such as mindfulness and grounding strategies that make it easier to stay engaged.
Executive Functioning Challenges
In your sessions, you’ll work on practical tools for organizing tasks, managing time, and getting started with less overwhelm.
Difficulty Following Through on Tasks
Your therapist will help you break tasks into manageable steps and build routines that fit the way your mind works.
Hyperactivity and Restlessness
You might feel constantly “on the go.” ADHD therapy can introduce grounding strategies that help your body and mind feel settled.
Impulsivity and Emotional Regulation Difficulties
Your therapy sessions are a safe space to understand emotional triggers and practice responding in more intentional ways.
ADHD-Related Anxiety and Overwhelm
Your therapist can help you identify sources of anxiety and build coping strategies to help you feel more steady.
Rejection Sensitivity
In your therapy sessions, you’ll learn ways to navigate emotional intensity associated with rejection sensitivity dysphoria and feel more grounded when facing feedback or conflict.
ADHD-Related Relationship Issues
You may notice recurring miscommunications, and your therapist can help you understand these patterns so you can strengthen your connections.
Depression, Low Motivation, and ADHD Burnout
Your sessions will focus on building ADHD-friendly structure, reconnecting with motivation, and understanding what’s contributing to your ADHD burnout.
ADHD-Related Shame and Chronic Stress
ADHD can come with feelings of long-term shame and stress. You’ll work with your therapist to soften self-criticism for a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
