ADHD Therapists in California

My approach to ADHD is neuroaffirming. We do not view ADHD as something to “fix,” but as a different way of processing and engaging with the world. Our nervous systems are wired differently from others, and I am here to help you understand what that means and how it looks in your life. Support may include creating systems that work with your brain, not against it, improving executive functioning in realistic ways, and addressing shame that often develops from past experiences.

I work with ADHD from a strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming perspective. Many of my clients struggle with task paralysis, overwhelm, masking, emotional regulation, executive functioning challenges, or feeling like they're constantly falling behind. Together, we identify what works for your unique brain rather than forcing you into systems that don't fit. Therapy may include developing practical strategies, improving self-understanding, addressing shame, building routines that feel sustainable, and helping you embrace your strengths while navigating everyday challenges with greater confidence.

Hi, I’m Afshin (pronounced of-sheen), a queer therapist dedicated to creating a safe, affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with teens, young adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and neurodivergent clients who may be navigating anxiety, burnout, identity exploration, self-doubt, or the challenges of living in a world that often expects them to fit into narrow boxes. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and deeply human-centered. Drawing from Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic theory, DBT, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients better understand themselves, challenge limiting stories, build practical coping skills, and create lives that feel more authentic and sustainable. Whether we're processing difficult emotions, exploring identity, or celebrating small victories, our work together is grounded in curiosity, acceptance, and meaningful growth.

I work with clients with ADHD by first gaining a clear understanding of how symptoms are affecting daily life, including focus, organization, time management, emotional regulation, and overall functioning. During the initial evaluation, I review your history, current concerns, past treatment experiences, and personal goals so we can create a treatment plan that is individualized and practical. Care may include medication management, supportive therapy, and behavioral strategies tailored to your needs. I also emphasize education so you understand your symptoms, treatment options, and tools that can help with routines, attention, productivity, and stress management. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and judgment-free. I aim to help clients feel understood and supported while working toward meaningful improvements in focus, confidence, and daily functioning.

When working with clients with ADHD, I focus on understanding the full emotional and practical impact it has on daily life. ADHD can affect attention, organization, motivation, time management, emotional regulation, relationships, and self-esteem. Many high-functioning adults with ADHD have learned to compensate for years, often at the cost of exhaustion, anxiety, or burnout. My work helps clients better understand their patterns, reduce shame, and develop realistic strategies that fit their lifestyle and personality. We may work on improving structure, strengthening emotional regulation, managing overwhelm, and addressing the frustration or self-criticism that often comes with ADHD. The goal is to help clients work with their brain more effectively, rather than constantly feeling they have to fight against it.

Neurodivergence is a spectrum with a lot of degrees of expression. Naturally, therapy has many degrees of modes to help people. I work with clients with ADHD by finding which tools work best for you, new or old, and fine-tuning them! I think a great starting place for working with ADHD clients is through education so we can start at the same point and understand ourselves better. From there, we can match us with the right tools to help us emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally!
