ADHD Therapist in Denver & Wheat Ridge

Living with ADHD can affect much more than organization and productivity. It can influence relationships, emotions, motivation, work, self-esteem, and the way you see yourself.

I’m Amy, a Licensed Professional Counselor at Sunshine Counseling, PLLC. I provide therapy for adults and teens 16+ in Wheat Ridge and the Denver area.

Maybe you struggle to get started on tasks, feel overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities, or wonder why things that seem easy for others feel so difficult. Perhaps you’ve spent years feeling frustrated with yourself or trying to keep up with expectations that don’t fit the way your brain works.

ADHD therapy can help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and develop strategies that fit your actual life.

What Can ADHD Therapy Help with?

ADHD affects everyone differently. Therapy can help you explore challenges such as:

• Executive functioning, planning, and organization

• Procrastination and difficulty getting started

• Motivation and follow-through

• Emotion regulation and frustration

• Self-esteem and negative self-talk

• Relationships and communication

• Work stress and burnout

• Anxiety and feeling overwhelmed

• Perfectionism and fear of failure

ADHD is More Than a Productivity Problem

Living with ADHD can mean years of hearing that your aren’t trying hard enough, aren’t reaching your potential, or should be able to manage things more easily.

Over time, those experiences can affect how you see yourself.

Therapy offers a space to explore those patters without judgement. We’ll work on practical strategies while also addressing shame, self-criticism, and the emotional impact of feeling like you’re constantly trying to catch up.

The goals isn’t to turn you into someone else. It’s to help you understand yourself and find approaches that work for you.

ADHD, Anxiety & Burnout

ADHD can overlap with anxiety, stress, and burnout. When everyday responsibilities require tremendous efforts, it’s easy to become exhausted or feel as though you’re always falling behind.

Together, we can explore what’s contributing to your overwhelm and identify realistic ways to manage responsibilities, respond to emotions, and create more breathing room in your life.

A Warm, Collaborative Approach to ADHD Therapy

My approach is authentic, strengths-based, and collaborative. I believe therapy should leave room for honesty, curiosity, humor, and the complicated parts of being human.

You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly organized list of goals. We can start with what’s happening in your life right now and figure out the next steps together.
