What Adult ADHD Actually Looks Like
Is it high energy, or is it getting in the way? Is it being easily distracted, or is it slowing down your life? ADHD affects the brain’s executive functions, the systems that handle planning, focus, working memory, and self-control. Because of that, it can look very different from one person to the next.
More adults are being diagnosed with ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a pattern of inattention, impulsivity, or hyperactivity that interferes with daily functioning. It is most often diagnosed in childhood, but more and more adults are recognizing the symptoms in themselves, sometimes after a child or partner is diagnosed. Untreated, ADHD can strain relationships with partners, family, and coworkers, and it can hold back academic and career performance no matter how bright or motivated someone is.

ADHD in Teens and Young Adults
ADHD symptoms usually begin in childhood, but they are often missed. Structured school schedules, involved parents, high intelligence, and sports can all mask the impact on functioning. Then the structure falls away. A teen starts high school, a young adult moves into a dorm or a first job, and the strategies that used to work stop working.
Adult symptoms are also harder to spot than childhood ones. Hyperactivity often fades into restlessness. “Easily distracted” becomes trouble focusing on work for more than a few minutes. Impulsive speech can lead to overspending, job hopping, or struggles with delayed gratification.
Many people also carry the weight of years of being told they were lazy, careless, or not living up to their potential. Low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression frequently travel alongside ADHD, especially in young adults, and therapy addresses those too.

ADHD Therapy at Silicon Valley Therapy
Understanding ADHD is more than a single appointment. It means looking at how symptoms show up at work, at school, in relationships, and at home, and often gathering input from a partner, parent, or someone who knows you well. Our therapists help you make sense of what you are experiencing, and we coordinate with psychiatrists and psychologists when a formal evaluation or medication consultation would be useful.
Therapy at Silicon Valley Therapy is structured and goal-oriented. Early on, you and your therapist set clear goals and build a plan. Then you check in on progress regularly, adjust what is not working, and keep moving. Follow-through is the thing ADHD makes hardest, so we build it into how therapy runs.

Why Work With Silicon Valley Therapy
At Silicon Valley Therapy, we believe that life is about progress, not perfection.
When the demands on your time and energy are constant, the pressure to make it look like everything is ok can lead to burnout, stress, and a disconnection from your own needs.
The speed of life, coupled with the pressure to succeed, makes it easy to lose touch with what truly matters—leaving you feeling overwhelmed, hurting, and unfulfilled. Trying to “think” your way out of your pain is a short-term solution for a situation that requires deeper emotional understanding and support.
With over 28 years of combined experience, our team is dedicated to providing results-driven, client-centered, and compassionate care. We work with you to achieve a deeper understanding of yourself, identify and change patterns that lead to unwanted outcomes, and help you reach your goals in all areas of life.
We help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters on your path to loving the life your living.
Our therapy is
Client-Centered
We listen, understand, and help you achieve your specific goals—together.
Compassionate
We provide a compassionate and safe space to share the words you’ve only thought in your head.
Results-Driven
We help you make real progress in healing the parts of you that are keeping you from fully living.

FAQs About ADHD Therapy
Can therapy help with ADHD without medication? Yes. Therapy builds the skills and systems that medication does not teach. Many clients do both. Some do therapy alone. We can help you think through what fits, and refer you for a medication consultation if you want one.
Do you diagnose ADHD? Our therapists can assess your symptoms and help you understand whether ADHD fits what you are experiencing. When a formal evaluation is needed, for example, for school accommodations or workplace documentation, we refer to trusted psychologists and coordinate care.
Do you treat teens with ADHD? Yes. Several of our therapists work with teens and their families. Parents are part of the process so that skills carry over to home and school.
Where are you located? Our office is in Los Gatos, serving San Jose, Campbell, Saratoga, and the greater Silicon Valley area. We also offer online therapy to clients anywhere in California.
Do you take insurance? We are a private-pay practice. We can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Start with a free 20-minute consult. We will talk through what is going on and match you with a therapist who is a good fit.
