ADHD Therapy for Women
in Palo Alto
Online Therapy for Palo Alto Residents: Accessible, Personalized Mental Health Care
Living in Palo Alto often means navigating high expectations, intellectual intensity, and constant pressure to perform. For women with ADHD, this environment can quietly magnify struggles with focus, emotional regulation, anxiety, and burnout—especially for those who have spent years masking symptoms or pushing themselves to keep up.
At Night Owl Psychotherapy, I offer specialized ADHD therapy for women in Palo Alto, designed to support high-achieving women who feel overwhelmed, scattered, or exhausted beneath the surface. All services are provided virtually, allowing you to access expert care anywhere in California without disrupting your demanding schedule.
Imagine your mind feeling calmer and more organized—not because you’re forcing yourself to be different, but because you finally understand how your brain works. Daily responsibilities feel more manageable. Decision-making becomes clearer. You stop replaying mistakes and start trusting yourself.
Instead of running on adrenaline and self-criticism, you develop sustainable ways to manage attention, emotions, and stress. Therapy helps you move from constant mental overload to a life that feels more balanced, intentional, and aligned—whether you’re building a career, navigating relationships, or redefining success on your own terms.
Specialized Support for Women with ADHD
I specialize in working with adult women with ADHD, including those diagnosed later in life or those who suspect ADHD after years of unexplained struggles. Many women in Palo Alto come to therapy feeling chronically overwhelmed despite being intelligent, capable, and outwardly successful.
My work integrates psychotherapy with ADHD-informed strategies, addressing both practical challenges—such as time management, organization, and follow-through—and the emotional impact of years spent feeling “not enough.” Therapy is collaborative, validating, and tailored to the lived experience of women with ADHD in high-pressure environments like Palo Alto.
Comprehensive Mental Health Support
At Night Owl Psychotherapy, I understand that mental health struggles often overlap. While I specialize in helping women with ADHD, I also provide therapy for a wide range of issues, including:
ADHD and Anxiety
Anxiety frequently co-occurs with ADHD, especially in achievement-driven communities. In Palo Alto, where productivity and performance are often emphasized, anxiety can become a constant companion. Therapy focuses on calming the nervous system, reducing overthinking, and addressing the ADHD-related stressors that fuel chronic worry and burnout.
ADHD and Trauma
Many women with ADHD also carry trauma—whether from early experiences of criticism, invalidation, or later life stressors. Trauma can intensify emotional reactivity, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of unsafety. Therapy offers a thoughtful, paced approach to healing that supports both emotional regulation and long-term resilience.
The Unique Benefits of Online Therapy for Palo Alto
Palo Alto's lifestyle is one of contrasts: cutting-edge innovation meets laid-back coastal living, and steep hills meet fast-paced work environments. With online therapy, you can make mental health care a part of your life without worrying about the stressors that often come with in-person sessions.
