COUNSELING for ADHD & DEPRESSION

ONLINE & IN-PERSON THERAPY IN MINNESOTA


Life can sometimes feel like a rollercoaster, filled with ups and downs. But lately, the “downs” have been really getting to you.

Your day-to-day life has become a monotonous drudgery that does nothing to excite you or bring you joy. You go through the motions on auto-pilot with no energy or motivation to change. You often feel lonely, even when you’re surrounded by people you care about.

Maybe you received a recent ADHD diagnosis, and it turns out that all those years of suffering from irritability, poor concentration, indecision, and low self-esteem weren’t just depression. If your ADHD and depression are getting in the way of you liking yourself, therapy can lower the volume of your inner self-critic and help you live a more balanced life.

Navigating ADHD with You

ADHD can often make life feel overwhelming and exhausting, especially when procrastination and distraction make it harder to get things done! ADHD can also impact people’s communication, empathy, accountability, and social skills, making relationships challenging to navigate. In psychotherapy sessions, we’ll collaboratively develop goals that focus on practical skills to manage daily responsibilities, while also cultivating self-acceptance and compassion.

Your Depression Journey

Feeling sad, empty, and hopeless can feel like a crushing weight that you carry with you everywhere. You don't have to bear that weight alone. I’ll give you the support and tools you need to accept yourself completely. I’ll invite you to challenge the negative ideas you have about yourself and we’ll explore where those ideas may have initially come from. We’ll discuss the thoughts and feelings you try to avoid, and discover how to manage them instead.

How I Can Support You

My approach is grounded in respect and empowerment. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. Collaboratively, we'll use strategies tailored to your unique needs and goals, focusing on equipping you with tools and insights to navigate the challenges associated with ADHD and depression. In our therapy sessions, we may work on techniques such as:

  • Challenging negative thoughts and feelings that no longer serve you

  • Developing organizational and time management skills

  • Exploring strategies for emotional regulation

  • Enhancing communication and interpersonal skills

  • Exploring strategies to experience more joy and less guilt and shame

  • Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and/or Individual Psychology

Take that initial step toward understanding and managing ADHD and depression more effectively. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation and embark on your journey toward greater self-awareness and happiness. Remember, you're not alone, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • While I can diagnose ADHD, I do not perform comprehensive neuropsychological testing, which can aid in an accurate diagnosis as well as help spot other conditions such as autism, learning disorders, OCD, anxiety, and depression. Therapy can still be helpful for ADHD symptoms whether you have an official diagnosis or not, and I can refer you for neuropsychological testing if that is something you are interested in.

  • Depression isn’t just feeling sad. It’s when you experience intense and persistent feelings of hopelessness, emptiness, and worthlessness. These feelings can make it difficult to find joy or motivation in life. The cause of depression is different from person to person, but some people find that genetic and environmental factors play a role.

  • Depression and ADHD are commonly co-occurring conditions. In fact, women with ADHD are 2.5 times more likely to have major depressive disorder (MDD) than women without ADHD. Depression also appears to take a greater toll on women with ADHD, who tend to experience depression earlier, for longer durations, and with higher rates of suicidality. As ADHD affects emotions, behaviors, and ways of learning and socializing, it can, and often does, lead to later experiences of depression. There are biological links between ADHD and depression too. ADHD is associated with dopamine dysregulation. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter largely responsible for a person’s personal drive, motivation, and reward. Abnormalities in dopamine can make it harder to achieve goals, leading to feelings of low self-esteem, worthlessness, and guilt for not meeting societal expectations.
