ADHD Therapy in New York City
Find Focus, Balance, and Support at Manhattan Wellness
Living with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can make everyday life feel overwhelming. Difficulty focusing, managing time, or staying organized can impact your work, relationships, and overall well-being. But with the right guidance, support, and practical strategies, you can thrive.
At Manhattan Wellness, our therapists combine evidence-based approaches with personalized executive functioning support, helping you build skills, manage symptoms, and live in alignment with your goals. ADHD therapy isn’t just about coping, it’s about discovering how to work with your brain instead of against it.
- Difficulty sustaining attention at work, school, or home
- Chronic procrastination or trouble starting tasks
- Impulsivity or difficulty controlling emotional reactions
- Struggles with planning, time management, and organization
- Restlessness or difficulty relaxing
ADHD often continues into adulthood and can influence professional and personal life. With therapy you will learn how to develop strategies, manage stress, and leverage your strengths while living with ADHD.
