Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Yes! While medication can be helpful for ADHD, therapy addresses the emotional and practical challenges that come with it, like managing overwhelm, building organizational systems that work for your brain, reducing shame around ADHD symptoms, improving relationships, and developing strategies for focus and follow-through. Rachel helps you work with your ADHD brain, not against it.
-
This is one of the most common concerns! Rachel helps you understand that boundaries aren't about being confrontational, they're about taking care of yourself. You'll practice in small, safe ways first, learning scripts and strategies that feel authentic to you. Boundaries can be set kindly and clearly.
-
You may start noticing shifts within the first few sessions as you become more aware of your inner critic's patterns. With consistent work, most clients report significant improvement within 3-6 months. The goal isn't to eliminate self-reflection, but to develop a kinder, more balanced internal voice.
-
Strength-based therapy focuses on identifying and building upon what's already working in your life, rather than only focusing on problems. Rachel helps you recognize your existing resources, resilience, and positive qualities, then uses those as a foundation for growth. It's empowering rather than pathologizing.
