Therapist for ADHD: online ADHD counsellors

A formal ADHD assessment is done by a psychiatrist or a clinical psychologist. A counselor can help you understand what you notice day to day, work on routines and focus with you, and suggest an assessment if it seems useful.

Many people use both. Medication and counseling work differently. Counseling focuses on habits, planning and how you talk to yourself. Keep your doctor in the loop about any change to medication.

Some counselors work with children, teenagers or parents. Check the ages a counselor works with on their profile before you book.

You talk about what a normal day looks like and what you want to change. Your counselor may suggest one small thing to try before the next session. You decide whether to book again.

On Leshya, look for counselors who list adhd among the areas they work with, and read how each one describes their approach. You can filter by the language you speak and the price that suits you. If the first counselor is not the right fit, you can choose someone else.
