Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Adapted for ADHD
As someone who has navigated ADHD both personally and professionally, I understand how challenging it can be—whether it’s getting started on something that doesn’t feel right, figuring out which instincts to trust, or handling emotional ups and downs.
Many with ADHD find that traditional therapy only helps to a point. That’s because most therapies are designed for non-ADHD brains—unless you’re working with an ADHD specialist who can adapt them. That’s why I created CBTa™. It’s a therapy model explicitly built for ADHD minds, using science-backed techniques that truly resonate, like the Pizza Technique, the Downward Spiral Interview, and the Shoulda-Coulda Game.
The core mission of CBTa™ is simple: to strengthen self-esteem, build belief in yourself, and break through the layers of stigma you’ve been conditioned with. By addressing these key areas, new habits and strategies will come from within, feeling authentic and empowering—because they’re designed for you, not imposed from the outside.
Key Features:
ADHD-specific CBT techniques to help improve thought patterns.
Tools to catch unhelpful thinking, feeling, and doing which gives us a choice.
Strategies that lead to lasting changes and new habits that stick.
How It Works
Did you know that over 500 research studies worldwide have proven Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to be the #1 therapy model for improving mental health in how we think, feel, and act? After specializing in CBT for over 20 years, I realized there wasn’t anything specific for ADHD, unlike treatments for anxiety or insomnia. So, I created CBTa™—a model tailored for ADHD.
CBTa™ integrates ADHD-specific techniques into traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create lasting change. It focuses on addressing the mental and emotional barriers unique to ADHD, such as low self-esteem and unhealthy societal conditioning.
Thought Restructuring: Learn how to shift negative thought patterns so you can approach new strategies (like a DIN strategy) with confidence.
Emotional Regulation: Gain tools to manage emotional highs and lows in a way that feels natural to your ADHD brain.
Stigma Busting: Break free from the unhealthy conditioning that an uninformed society has placed on ADHDers, allowing you to rebuild your self-belief.
