ADHD Therapy in Bellevue, WA
Compassionate, Evidence-Based ADHD Treatment for Individuals, Couples, and Families
Living with ADHD can make daily life feel overwhelming. When your mind races with countless thoughts, tasks slip away despite your best efforts, and maintaining focus feels like an uphill battle, it's time to seek professional support. At Bellevue Counseling, we provide specialized ADHD therapy that helps you develop practical strategies, build confidence, and create meaningful change in your life.
Our team of caring and competent therapists understands that ADHD affects every person differently. The challenges you face at work differ from what someone else experiences in school or relationships. We offer personalized treatment that honors your unique experiences, strengths, and goals—because effective ADHD care is never one-size-fits-all. Through evidence-based therapeutic approaches and genuine compassion, we help you navigate attention challenges while addressing the emotional impact of living with ADHD.
How ADHD Affects Your Life
ADHD impacts far more than just attention and focus. It influences emotional regulation, relationships, work performance, and self-esteem. You might find yourself brilliant at creative problem-solving yet struggle with routine tasks, excel when projects are engaging but lose motivation with detailed work, or experience intense emotions that feel difficult to manage.
Whether you're struggling with task completion, time management, impulsivity, relationship conflicts, or the emotional weight of years feeling "different," professional therapy can help you develop effective strategies and rebuild confidence. Our Bellevue practice works with individuals ages 10 to 50, couples navigating ADHD-related relationship challenges, and families seeking to better understand and support their loved ones.
Our Evidence-Based Approach to ADHD Therapy
We utilize proven therapeutic modalities specifically effective for ADHD treatment. Your personalized care plan may incorporate one or more of the following approaches:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Techniques We help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns while developing practical skills in time management, organization, and task completion. These strategies are specifically designed to work with your unique brain wiring, not against it.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) DBT skills provide powerful tools for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Learn to manage intense emotions, improve present-moment awareness, and navigate relationship challenges with greater confidence.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) This compassionate approach helps you understand different aspects of yourself and develop greater self-acceptance. IFS is particularly effective for addressing the shame and self-criticism many people with ADHD carry.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy For those whose ADHD coexists with past difficult experiences, we provide trauma-informed care that addresses how these experiences may be affecting current functioning and exacerbating attention challenges.
EMDR Therapy Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, which is particularly valuable when past experiences of criticism or failure continue to affect present confidence.
What to Expect from ADHD Therapy at Bellevue Counseling
Your First Session Your initial appointment is a safe space to share what's been weighing on you. We'll listen carefully as you describe your experiences, ask thoughtful questions, and begin understanding how ADHD shows up in your daily life. This session helps us determine if we're the right fit and allows you to get comfortable with our approach.
Personalized Treatment Planning Together, we'll develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. Whether you're working on organization skills, emotional regulation, relationship dynamics, or processing past experiences, your plan reflects what matters most to you—and it can adapt as your needs evolve.
Ongoing Support and Accountability Most clients work with us consistently for 12 weeks to a year, depending on their goals. Regular sessions provide the structure and accountability that's particularly valuable for ADHD management. You'll learn new strategies, practice them in daily life, and return to discuss what worked and how to refine your approach.
ADHD Treatment for Different Populations
Youth and Adolescents We help young people develop foundational skills for academic success, social navigation, and self-advocacy. Our approach builds practical strategies while addressing the emotional impact of feeling different from peers.
Adults Adult ADHD therapy focuses on managing professional responsibilities, improving relationships, and addressing accumulated emotional challenges. We help you develop workplace systems, communication skills, and emotional regulation techniques that support success in all areas of life.
Couples Therapy When ADHD affects your relationship, we help both partners understand how attention challenges impact relationship dynamics and develop collaborative strategies that honor both people's needs. Our couples work addresses communication, household management, and rebuilding connection.
