Changing the Narrative With Adult ADHD Therapy in Oakdale, MN

ADHD doesn’t go away with age—it just hides behind years of coping strategies and a constant cycle of internalized frustration leading to burnout. You might struggle with focus, time management, impulsivity, or chronic overwhelm, even if you've always appeared “high-functioning” on the surface. You’re not alone! This is a common experience for adults with ADHD, and professional help can make a huge difference. At Summer Counseling, we offer neurodivergence-affirming adult ADHD therapy for clients in Oakdale, Minnesota, to make sense of their experiences, reframe old narratives, and build important new skills.

Treating ADHD in Adults

Many adults with ADHD go unnoticed for years, misdiagnosed with anxiety or labeled as “lazy,” “flighty,” and “disorganized.” Receiving an ADHD diagnosis brings as much confusion as it does relief. Where do you go from here? Adult ADHD therapy sends you back to the beginning. It looks different than treatment for children because it involves unlearning shame and integrating your neurodivergent identity into the life you've already built.

What We Address in Adult ADHD Therapy

At Summer Counseling, our therapists work with clients to explore challenges like:

• Chronic disorganization or missed deadlines
• Difficulty starting or finishing tasks (task paralysis)
• Emotional dysregulation or mood swings
• Relationship and communication challenges
• Co-occurring anxiety, depression, or trauma
• Reframing identity and self-worth after diagnosis

We approach ADHD therapy with respect for your lived experience. Rather than pathologizing how your brain works, we help you understand it, work with it, and build a life that suits you. Our Oakdale office offers a private, welcoming space for treatment, and we also provide secure virtual sessions. If you’re ready to explore adult ADHD therapy, Summer Counseling is ready to support your growth. Schedule a consultation today!
