Online ADHD Therapy for Adults in New York City
Culturally responsive therapy for high-achieving adults who are tired of how much it takes to keep up.
Does This Sound Familiar?
You can lead a meeting, meet a deadline, and be the person everyone relies on. Then you get home and stare at a bill you’ve been meaning to pay for three weeks. You know it’ll take five minutes. You still can’t get yourself to start. And after a day of solving problems for other people, you wonder why this one feels so hard.
In NYC, a day can go from a packed subway to back-to-back meetings to a group chat asking you to make one more decision. If you’re commuting from New Jersey or juggling work and family close to home, you might recognize the same feeling. By the time you get a quiet moment, you’re already thinking about what you forgot and what tomorrow will ask of you.
I offer individual ADHD therapy online throughout New York and New Jersey, including Brooklyn and the rest of New York City.
You’ve Spent Years Figuring Out How to Keep Up
Maybe you were the kid who did well in school but heard, “You’d do even better if you applied yourself.” You learned to double-check everything, show up early so no one could call you unreliable, or stay up late finishing what you couldn’t start earlier. People saw what you accomplished. You remember how anxious you felt getting there.
Now a missed email can make you question whether you’re really good at your job. A small correction can stick with you for the rest of the day. When you finally have a free Sunday, you spend half of it deciding what to catch up on and the other half feeling guilty for resting.
If you were diagnosed later in life, there can be relief in finally having words for what you’ve experienced. There can also be grief for the younger version of you who worked so hard and still believed she was letting people down.
ADHD Therapy That Makes Room for Your Culture and Identity
As a first-generation Nigerian American therapist, I pay attention to how race, gender, culture, and family expectations shape what it feels safe to struggle with openly. Maybe you grew up hearing how much your family sacrificed for your opportunities. Maybe you were praised for being the responsible one, or learned at work that you had to be especially prepared to be taken seriously.
Those experiences can make it hard to ask for help or admit that a routine everyone else seems to manage is wearing you down. In therapy, we can talk about both the pressure you’ve carried and the support that would make your daily life more manageable.
Getting started before everything feels urgent. Find ways to begin tasks that tend to sit untouched until the deadline takes over.
Easing the pressure to look like you have it together. Notice when overpreparing, saying yes, or hiding how overwhelmed you feel leaves you depleted.
Working through the shame that follows mistakes. Explore why a forgotten detail or a piece of feedback can feel like a verdict on your competence.
Building routines for the life you actually live. Try supports that account for late trains, long workdays, changing schedules, and evenings when you’re running on empty.
Making sense of a late diagnosis. Give yourself room to revisit old stories about being scattered, inconsistent, or too sensitive and consider what support might have made a difference.
