Ring a Bell?
Being the last one to finish, the first one to apologize, and somehow still behind on everything.
Being frustrated, disorganized, unfocused, or having difficulty getting things done.
Feeling ashamed or angry with yourself for failing everyone's expectations.
“White knuckling it” through your fears, sadness, anger, anxiety, or resentments.
Struggling with the fear of being “found out,” harsh self-criticism, or the persistent feeling that you’re never good enough.
Your life feels totally out of control.
ADHD Treatment for Women
Online Therapy Based in Los Angeles and Across California
Therapy That Honors How Your Brain Works.
You’re not too much. You’re not broken. You just haven’t had the right support yet.
I’m Dr. Carole Goguen, a licensed psychologist and Certified ADHD Specialist with 25+ years of experience working with women whose struggles were dismissed, misdiagnosed, or simply overlooked for too long.
I know what it’s like to work twice as hard just to keep up — and how much changes when someone finally understands why.
My work is built around one belief: that understanding your brain is the beginning of everything.
Why Specialized Therapy Matters
Not All Therapy Is Created Equal — Especially for ADHD
Many women with ADHD have already tried therapy. They found a good therapist. They did the work. And they still felt like something was missing — like the support was designed for a different kind of brain.
That's because general therapy often doesn't account for how ADHD actually works: the emotional dysregulation, the rejection sensitivity, the shame spiral, the way anxiety and trauma intertwine with attention challenges.
As a Certified ADHD Specialist with 25+ years of experience, Dr. Carole doesn't just treat symptoms — she helps you understand the neuroscience behind how your brain works, and builds strategies that are realistic for the way you actually live.
This isn't generic talk therapy. It's therapy built for your brain.
