Therapy for ADHD in Broomfield, CO and Online Across CO and FL

Specializing in late-diagnosed women and AuDHD

ADHD isn’t just about being distracted.

It’s the constant mental juggling act no one else can see.

It’s smiling, showing up, getting things done… while quietly feeling like everything is one step away from falling apart.

For many women, ADHD has meant years… sometimes decades… of masking.

Of overcompensating.

Of trying to “fix” themselves without ever understanding why things felt so much harder than they were supposed to.

And now you might have a diagnosis – or maybe you are still looking for one.

And instead of relief… you might feel lost.

Maybe you’re looking at your life and thinking…

“Why does everything still feel so hard?”

You check things off your to-do list, but at the end of the day, it somehow feels like nothing really moved forward.

You wonder if you’re the problem.

You fantasize about escaping your life… not because it’s bad, but because it feels so overwhelming to keep up with.

You walk through your home and see little reminders everywhere: the laundry that never quite gets finished, the half-started projects, the pile you’ve been meaning to deal with for days (or weeks).

And in those quiet moments, it hits:

“Why can’t I just keep up with this? This shouldn’t be this hard.”

No matter how early you start or how hard you try, you still feel behind.

Like everyone else got a manual you never received.

And underneath it all… there’s this fear:

“What if I really am just not capable?”

How Can Therapy for ADHD in Broomfield, CO Help Me?

Insight alone isn’t enough.

Because even now, you might understand ADHD… and still find yourself stuck in the same cycles: overwhelmed, shutting down, or spiraling into self-doubt.

That’s where our work together comes in.

In our sessions, we don’t just talk about ADHD, we start to translate your brain in a way that actually makes sense for you.

Together, we’ll gently untangle the years of shame you’ve been carrying, so that when you’re standing in the middle of your home, surrounded by unfinished tasks, your first thought isn’t “What’s wrong with me?” but something much kinder… and much more accurate.

We’ll also work with the emotional side of ADHD, the part that often gets overlooked.

Because it’s not just about focus.

It’s the way a small comment can hit you like a wave: suddenly you feel physically heavy, embarrassed, exposed… and you can’t stop replaying it, wondering if you said the wrong thing, if they meant more than they said, if you’re being judged.

It’s walking away from a conversation and immediately picking it apart:

“Why did I say that?”
“Did that sound weird?”
“Do they think I’m too much?”

And even when part of you knows you’re overanalyzing… it still feels real.

Instead of feeling hijacked by those moments, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, more steady, so those thoughts don’t take over your entire day.

And together, we’ll build systems that actually work with your brain, not against it.

Not rigid routines that fall apart in a week. Not unrealistic expectations you can never quite meet.

But flexible, supportive ways of moving through your life that feel doable… and maybe even a little relieving.

What Can I Expect From Therapy for ADHD in Broomfield, CO?

Imagine feeling more at home in yourself.

Not constantly second-guessing who you are or how you come across, but feeling more confident showing up as your authentic self, without masking or overcompensating.

Imagine moving through your days with more steadiness.

Your home feeling more manageable. Your life feeling less chaotic.

Not because everything is perfect, but because it finally works with you, not against you.

And instead of thinking,

“What’s wrong with me?”

There’s a shift.

“I’m a little different… and that’s okay.”

From there, everything begins to feel a little more possible.

You trust yourself more.

You respond to challenges with more compassion than criticism.

You feel more in control… not rigidly, but gently supported from the inside out.

“But what if I’m not even sure this is ADHD?”

That’s actually a really important place to start… not a barrier.

In our work together, we take a thoughtful, structured approach to understanding your experience.

When appropriate, we use a computerized ADHD assessment alongside in-depth clinical interviews to get a clear, accurate picture of what’s going on for you.

But more than anything, we slow things down enough to really understand your mind: how it works, where you get stuck, and what patterns have been shaping your experience over time.

You don’t have to figure it out alone before you come in.

Or maybe your hesitation sounds more like:

“I’ve tried therapy before… and it didn’t really help.”

I hear this more often than you might think.

And honestly, it makes sense, because not all therapy is the same, and not all therapy is built for the way your brain works.

The approach I take is neurodiversity-affirming, which means we’re not trying to force you into a “typical” way of functioning or thinking. We start with how your brain actually operates, and build from there.

And I want to share something personal here too:

I’m neurodivergent myself, with AuDHD (autism and ADHD).

So when you talk about overwhelm, shutdown, burnout, overthinking, or the exhausting effort of trying to “hold it all together”… I’m not interpreting it from a distance. I get it.

Not in a vague, surface-level way, but in a lived, real way that shapes how I show up in the room with you.

And because of that, our work together often goes beyond traditional talk therapy.

When needed, we also bring in practical executive functioning support: things like planning, structure, follow-through, and real-world strategies that actually work for ADHD brains.

Because insight is important… but so is having tools that help you move through your actual day-to-day life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy for ADHD in Broomfield, CO

  • Many women come to therapy wondering this exact question. ADHD in women often looks like chronic overwhelm, mental exhaustion, difficulty with follow-through, emotional sensitivity, and years of feeling like you’re “not living up to your potential.” You might be high-functioning on the outside but constantly struggling internally. In our work, we explore your experiences deeply to understand whether ADHD may be part of what’s been shaping your life.

  • Yes. When appropriate, we can complete an ADHD assessment using a combination of a computerized ADHD test and in-depth clinical interviews. This helps us get a clearer, more accurate understanding of how your brain works so we can move forward with the right support for you.

    Many people with PTSD find that IFS reduces symptoms like emotional reactivity, intrusive memories, hypervigilance, and inner conflict. It also helps build a stronger sense of internal safety and self-compassion over time.

    IFS is especially helpful when trauma feels complex or when traditional talk therapy has felt too intense or not fully effective. A trained therapist will guide the process at a pace that supports stability and safety throughout the work.

  • AuDHD is a term used to describe someone who is both autistic and has ADHD.

    These two neurotypes often overlap, and when they exist together, they can create a unique lived experience that includes both ADHD-related challenges (like overwhelm, distractibility, and executive functioning difficulties) and autism-related traits (like sensory sensitivity, deep focus on specific interests, social fatigue, or a strong need for routine and predictability).

    For many people, especially women, AuDHD is not recognized until later in life. This can lead to years of feeling “different,” misunderstood, or like they are constantly trying to fit into systems that don’t quite work for them.

  • Neurodiversity-affirming therapy means we don’t try to “fix” who you are or force you into neurotypical expectations. Instead, we work with your brain, not against it. We focus on understanding your unique nervous system, reducing shame, and building strategies that actually fit how you function in real life.

  • This is something I hear often, especially from late-diagnosed ADHD women.

    The difference here is that this work is specifically tailored for ADHD and neurodivergent brains. We don’t rely only on traditional talk therapy. Instead, we integrate emotional regulation work, ADHD-specific insight, and executive functioning support when needed.

    This is not one-size-fits-all therapy.

    It is also deeply personal for me: I am neurodivergent myself (AuDHD: autism + ADHD). That means I don’t just understand ADHD clinically… I understand it from lived experience. Many clients find that this changes the entire experience of being in therapy.

  • Yes. Many ADHD struggles are actually executive functioning challenges, like difficulty starting tasks, staying organized, managing time, or following through.

    In therapy, we don’t just talk about these struggles, we work on practical, real-life systems that are designed to actually work with an ADHD brain, not against it.

  • Yes. Many women with ADHD experience intense emotional sensitivity, including what is often called rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD).

    This can look like feeling deeply affected by perceived criticism, overanalyzing conversations, or feeling “crushed” by small social interactions. In therapy, we focus on helping you regulate these emotional responses and feel more grounded and secure in yourself.

  • RSD is a common experience for many people with ADHD where emotional responses to perceived rejection, criticism, or disapproval feel extremely intense. Even subtle comments or interactions can lead to spiraling thoughts or emotional overwhelm. We work together to help you understand these patterns and develop tools to respond with more stability and self-compassion.

  • Yes, this is a primary focus of my work. Many of my clients are women who were diagnosed later in life and are now trying to make sense of their past experiences through this new lens. Therapy can help you process grief, reduce shame, and build a new understanding of yourself that feels grounded and compassionate.

  • In the first session, we focus on understanding you – your story, your struggles, and what’s bringing you in. There is no pressure to have everything figured out. We move at your pace and begin building a clear picture of what support will feel most helpful for you.

  • Yes, sessions are offered online for clients located in Colorado and Florida, making it easier to access support from the comfort of your own space.
