Abby now

Your match is ready. His name is Ryan, and I think you’ll see why I picked him.

1:12
Tonight 1:12 AM
I have 43 tabs open in my brain at all times. I start everything and finish nothing, and the shame spiral after is honestly worse than the chaos.
The shame spiral is the part nobody treats, and it’s the part that does the most damage. You don’t need another productivity app, you need someone who works with ADHD brains instead of against them. Want me to find him?
Yes. Someone structured though. If the session has no plan I will absolutely derail it.
Done. Ryan E., AMFT. He works with adult ADHD, runs structured sessions with an agenda you build together, and doesn’t do shame. Evening openings this week. Want me to introduce you?

How matching works

Your conversations become your match.

Everything you tell Abby, how the chaos actually plays out, what you’ve tried, when you can focus, becomes the search. You never fill out a form.

I start everything, finish nothing
The shame spiral is worse than the chaos
Deadlines are the only thing that works
Structure me or I’ll derail the session
Diagnosed at 31, still processing that
Evenings, after the meds wear off
Why can everyone else just… do things?
I’m not lazy, my brain boots differently

Good to know

ADHD therapy, explained.

Medication helps many people focus. Therapy is where the rest of it gets handled. Here is what that actually means.

What therapy addsADHD-focused therapy works the parts medication doesn’t touch: the shame built up over years of dropped balls, the systems that keep collapsing, the relationships strained by forgetting. CBT adapted for ADHD is the best-studied approach, and coaching-style structure helps it stick.
Diagnosed late?Getting diagnosed as an adult rewrites your whole story, and that deserves real processing. Most people cycle through relief, anger, and grief for the years they blamed themselves for. A therapist who works with late-diagnosed adults knows this arc well.
Therapy, medication, or bothMedication is the most effective single treatment for core ADHD symptoms, and therapy is where skills, systems, and self-image get rebuilt. Many adults do best with both. A good ADHD therapist will coordinate with your prescriber, and Abby factors your preference into the match.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How does Abby match me with an ADHD therapist?

You chat with Abby about how the chaos actually plays out, no forms to abandon halfway. She learns what structure you need, what you’ve tried, and your schedule and budget. Then she brings you a shortlist of ADHD therapists with the reason each one fits.

Can a therapist diagnose ADHD?

Some can screen and refer, but formal diagnosis usually comes from a psychologist or psychiatrist. If you don’t have a diagnosis yet, tell Abby. She can match you with someone who works with suspected ADHD and can point you to testing if you want it.

What kind of therapy works for ADHD?

CBT adapted for ADHD has the strongest evidence: it targets the planning, follow-through, and self-criticism loops directly. Many therapists blend in coaching-style structure like agendas, accountability, and body-doubling strategies.

I always quit things. What if I quit therapy too?

Tell your therapist that in the first session. ADHD-aware therapists build for it: shorter arcs, visible progress, flexible scheduling, and zero guilt when you reschedule. Quitting quietly is the old pattern. This is designed differently.

Does therapy replace medication?

They do different jobs. Medication helps the focus and impulse systems work; therapy rebuilds the skills, systems, and self-image around them. Neither is required to start, and your therapist will talk through both honestly.

Can I use my insurance?

Tell Abby you want to use insurance and she factors it into the match, along with budget, sliding scale, or self-pay if that’s simpler. You’ll know how a therapist handles payment before you ever book.

Does my therapist see my conversations with Abby?

No. Nothing is shared unless you approve it. If you want, Abby can prepare a short intro about how your ADHD shows up, and you review every word before it’s sent.
