Yes I have a really good therapist now. But it took me several years to find one. It can be REALLY hard to find a good therapist that is not only in network with your insurance but also specializes in ADHD. You will find someone but it does take time. Hang in there and keep looking! They do not make it easy to find a good therapist these days.

Unfortunately, this is the best it’s been. We need so much change around mental illness, but at least ADHD is even identified. It was not even 30 years ago. My childhood, relationships, self esteem could have been drastically different.

I would love to have a reference too. I live in Switzerland now but online therapy would be perfectly ok with me.

No, haven't seen to much of a specialized ADHD therapy online. But I'd think counselors with certifications wouldn't be unfamiliar with ADHD patients; I'd assume they at least have a handful already with ADHD.

I need this too.

F- I have the same problems and have been wondering the same about therapy

A note about virtual therapists—when researching, check to see if they are licensed to treat people out of their state boundaries. I know mine had to stop seeing clients that attended school here when they went home to other states during the early days of the pandemic.

I found a great psychologist and a great psychiatrist who both do CBT for me (I found a unicorn of a psychiatrist who is super generous with her time). Neither are "specialized" in ADHD, but I do find the CBT super helpful to organize my thoughts.

But I did look for ADHD specialized therapists and had NO luck whatsoever 1) finding one 2) finding one that accepted my insurance. Every mental health professional is "qualified" to treat ADHD. But that doesn't mean their super well-versed in it (especially with adults). I've heard that the mental health professional training curriculums are including more info on ADHD now.

Then there's ADHD coaching, but no real quality control there. Nor will insurance cover it... That's my experience at least.
