Shauna Pollard
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you have always excelled in your career, it’s possible that many people don’t see the long hours that you put in and recognize how late you stay at work to get things done. Yes, you get it all done and usually deliver high quality work, but it comes at a cost. Often, there is anxiety about maintaining a certain level of success. You may feel like you pulled off something amazing, but doubt your ability to do it again, or to sustain what you’ve created.
In fact, you may be great at coming up with the big picture ideas and find it hard to follow through with the important details. It’s likely that you are excited by so many things that it’s hard to focus on just one thing. You may also find that because so many things come easily to you, that it is so frustrating when you come across a challenge that feels different from the rest.

Being successful and having ADHD can mean that others may not even recognize that you have ADHD because you have naturally found workarounds for your areas of weakness. This may allow you to excel at school or in your career, but challenges with being organized, handling intense emotions, and managing your time wisely will catch up eventually.
Hitting that wall can show up as burnout, challenges in relationships, financial issues, or a loss of confidence in yourself.
The skills that got you to where you are, may not be enough to get you to the next level.
You are not alone and therapy can help. You don’t need to be fixed, you just need some additional support so that you can improve your functioning across the board. Through our work together, I can help you
1. Learn how to work with the brain that you have
2. Improve how you manage your emotions so that they don’t manage you
3. Increase your confidence in yourself and stop being so hard on yourself

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Many people with ADHD have received and internalized the message that they are lazy or not living up to their potential; it is common for individuals with ADHD to be hard on themselves in an attempt to increase productivity and reliability. Yet, each failure reinforces the message that they are inadequate. Moreover, the nature of ADHD often makes it difficult to organize and soothe difficult thoughts and emotions, leaving one vulnerable to anxiety and depression.
