ADHD Therapy in Edmond & Oklahoma City

If you are an adult who feels like you are running on a hamster wheel of good intentions and forgotten deadlines, or if you are a parent watching your bright child struggle with focus, you understand that ADHD is more than just "not paying attention."

It's a daily, draining battle against chronic overwhelm, emotional volatility, and a frustrating inability to translate intent into action. For too long, you may have managed the symptoms with shame, self-criticism, or endless attempts at organizational systems that never last.

At Journey Counseling Center, we offer specialized ADHD Therapy and Counseling in Oklahoma City and Edmond. Our licensed therapists don't just help you manage symptoms—we help you fundamentally rewire the way you approach your life, turning your unique brain into your greatest asset.

Understanding ADHD: Why "Just Try Harder" Doesn't Work

The struggles associated with ADHD are rooted in an issue with Executive Functions—the brain's control center for planning, prioritizing, starting tasks, staying focused, managing time, and regulating emotion.

You are not lazy or disorganized; your brain is simply working differently.

Our ADHD therapy in OKC and Edmond is specifically designed to address these core deficits, offering targeted support for the symptoms that impact adults, teens, and families:

Chronic Procrastination: The intense difficulty in starting tasks, even when motivated.
Time Blindness: Inability to accurately estimate or manage time, leading to missed deadlines and lateness.
Emotional Dysregulation: Intense, sudden emotions and difficulty recovering from frustration.
Relationship Conflict: Issues with listening, interrupting, or inconsistent follow-through.
The Overwhelm Cycle: Feeling constantly behind, leading to burnout and anxiety.

Our Approach: CBT and Skills-Based ADHD Therapy

We use evidence-based approaches to provide a clear, actionable path forward. Our primary focus is on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is proven to be highly effective for managing the emotional and behavioral components of ADHD.

In your therapy sessions, you will not just talk about your week. You will actively learn and practice the critical skills required for an ADHD brain to function effectively:

Executive Function Coaching: We will work together to build practical, sustainable systems for planning, organizing, and prioritizing your work and home life.
Emotional Regulation Skills: Learn how to identify, tolerate, and manage intense emotions—reducing emotional outbursts and improving self-esteem.
Mindfulness and Focus Training: Develop techniques to improve sustained attention and reduce the impact of distracting thoughts.
Communication Training: For couples and families dealing with ADHD, we provide tools to reduce friction and improve empathy and collaboration.

Specialized ADHD support for adults and teens

ADHD Therapy for Adults

It’s never too late for a diagnosis or for effective treatment. Adult ADHD often manifests as anxiety, relationship issues, or a string of unfulfilled potential. Our therapy focuses on helping you:

Identify and challenge negative core beliefs (e.g., "I'm a failure").
Develop robust time management and productivity tools.
Heal from a lifetime of criticism and build genuine self-compassion.

ADHD Therapy for Teens & Students

We help teens navigate the transition to adulthood and the academic pressures of high school and college. Our sessions help them:

Master study skills and organization systems tailored to their ADHD.
Improve motivation and independence.
Develop self-advocacy skills to communicate their needs to teachers and parents.
