ADHD Therapy

ADHD therapy for adults in Northbrook, IL

Bedrock Psychology Group offers ADHD therapy for adults, whether you were diagnosed as a child or never diagnosed at all. Therapy targets executive function alongside the self-blame and anxiety that come from years of compensating, and we coordinate with your prescriber if you take medication. Sessions are in person at our Northbrook office or by telehealth across Illinois, and in PSYPACT states with select clinicians. We're in-network with BCBS PPO and Aetna. To start, call (773) 389-2352 or send us a message.

What is adult ADHD?

Adult ADHD is not a productivity problem. It’s a neurological difference in how the brain regulates attention, impulse, and executive function — and it shows up differently in adults than the textbook version most people learned about in childhood. Many adults with ADHD have spent decades developing workarounds that mostly work, until they don’t.

Who this is for

Most adults who come to Bedrock for ADHD weren’t diagnosed as kids. Some were — and either never got real support, or outgrew the systems that used to work. Either way, they’ve arrived at the same place: capable, often high-functioning, and running on empty.

It shows up differently for everyone. Chronic procrastination on things that actually matter to you. Difficulty finishing what you start, even when you care about it. A calendar full of good intentions and a track record that doesn’t match your actual ability. Relationships strained by forgetfulness, missed commitments, or a partner who’s tired of being the one who remembers everything. Work performance that swings between exceptional and inexplicable. The feeling that you’re always behind, even when you’re not.

We also see a lot of parents who only started looking at themselves after their child was diagnosed. The apple, as they say, doesn’t fall far from the tree — and a kid’s diagnosis has a way of making a lifetime of “quirks” suddenly make sense.

If you’ve been wondering whether ADHD is part of what you’re dealing with, that’s worth finding out. If you already know and want to do something about it, this is the place to start.

How we work

ADHD in adults responds to a different kind of clinical work than the skills training and classroom accommodations that dominate the childhood ADHD conversation. The approach here addresses the psychological layer underneath the executive function challenges — the years of self-blame, the identity built around underperforming relative to your potential, the anxiety that often develops alongside unmanaged ADHD.

That means therapy, not coaching. The work targets how you understand yourself, how you relate to your own mind, and how you build systems that actually fit your brain — not systems designed for people who don’t have ADHD.

If medication is part of the picture, we work alongside your prescribing provider. We don’t prescribe, but we coordinate — and we have direct experience working with adults where medication alone isn’t enough, and where therapy alone isn’t enough either.
