ADHD & You

A 6-week group for women with ADHD symptoms who are recently diagnosed or underdiagnosed, where we learn strategies to manage emotions, create struture around the constant influx of “stuff” that causes us to feel overwhelmed and disorganized (paper, dishes, toys, clothes, text messages, emails, etc.), and learn to live more fulfilling and satisfying lives.  

Knowledge ◾️ Community ◾️ Empowerment

Many adult women with ADHD:

  • Are misdiagnosed

  • Diagnosed late in life (I was just diagnosed at the age of 48!)

  • Struggle with organization, time management, and long-term planning

  • Have difficulty regulating emotions and experience frequent mood swings or heightened emotions

  • Experience impulsivity or forgetfulness

  • Have low self-esteem

  • Disturbed sleep patterns

  • Heightened stress and anxiety

When women are feeling overwhelmed by factors of ADHD, it’s an all-consuming struggle
