If you’re seeking couples counseling because your partner has ADHD, you might be feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or disconnected. It’s common to feel like you’re carrying most of the responsibility in the relationship—whether it’s managing tasks, keeping track of appointments, or handling emotional situations that seem to go unnoticed. You may also feel like you’re constantly trying to explain your needs but aren’t being fully understood. ADHD can sometimes make communication harder, and it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly at odds, even when you both want the same things.
In couples counseling, you’ll have a safe space to express these feelings and gain a deeper understanding of your partner’s experience with ADHD. You’ll also learn strategies to address the challenges you’re facing together, such as creating more structure in your daily routines, managing impulsivity or distractions, and setting clear boundaries without creating tension. We’ll work on improving communication so both of you feel heard and supported, and develop practical solutions that work for both partners. Ultimately, the goal is to help you feel more connected, reduce misunderstandings, and build a partnership that is compassionate and collaborative.
