WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ADHD?

ADHD in adults often goes unnoticed or misunderstood, especially for people who appear capable, driven, or high-achieving on the outside. Rather than hyperactivity alone, adult ADHD frequently shows up as difficulty regulating attention, emotions, energy, and follow-through. Many people spend years compensating, masking, or pushing themselves harder to keep up.

Living in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment like New York City can intensify these challenges. The constant stimulation, pressure to perform, and lack of margin for rest can leave your nervous system overwhelmed and your internal world feeling chaotic, even when you’re “doing well” by external standards.

You might recognize yourself in some of the following experiences:

  • Feeling chronically overwhelmed despite being capable or intelligent
  • Difficulty starting, prioritizing, or completing tasks
  • Periods of hyperfocus followed by burnout or shutdown
  • Emotional reactivity, frustration, or sensitivity to criticism
  • Struggling with time management, organization, or consistency
  • Feeling “behind,” scattered, or like you’re constantly catching up
  • Overcompensating through perfectionism, people-pleasing, or overworking
  • Shame or self-criticism around motivation, productivity, or follow-through
  • Shame or self-criticism around motivation, productivity, or follow-through

Our therapists use evidence-based, ADHD-informed approaches to help you better understand how your brain works and how to work with it rather than against it. Therapy focuses on strengthening attention regulation, emotional awareness, and follow-through while reducing shame, burnout, and chronic self-criticism.
