Sue E. Rapp

As an adult with ADHD, chances are you deal with emotional overwhelm and chronic self criticism-maybe even more than disorganization and distraction. My focus in treatment typically includes practical strategies, emotion regulation, insight-oriented work, and skill-building tailored to real-life demands. Clients can expect improved focus, steadier emotions, stronger boundaries, and greater confidence in daily life.

As an adult ADHD therapist with over 35 years of experience, I specialize in helping neurodivergent adults tackle the daily challenges that feel overwhelming, such as: Starting tasks when you don’t know where to begin Keeping track of deadlines Following through on projects Handling intense emotions and rejection sensitivity Decision-making Routine building

ADHD isn’t just about getting things done—it also impacts how you see yourself and your place in the world. In our work together, we will address the deeper emotional and identity challenges that come with ADHD. Together, we’ll build personalized systems that actually work for your brain while also creating space for reflection and growth.

My approach starts with understanding what you are struggling with and I try to help you understand why and what you might do. I am collaborative, practical and grounded in respect for each person's lived experience. I blend CBT, mindfulness informed strategies and my background in philosophy to help reduce self-criticism and strengthen emotional regulation. I use humor and insight in my sessions where sometimes we work on creating concrete tools and other weeks we explore the 'why'. My style is warm, direct and non-judgmental. Insight oriented, practical.

Our first session will be a get to know you session. People can be anxious during a first session and I get that! You want to know who I am and how I work and if I 'get you'. You want me to know who you are; that is so important. You will be able to ask me anything! I will get your history and work toward understanding your daily challenges, short and long term life goals. And together we will decide where to focus first. Don't worry if you don't know! By the end of our first session, you will leave with a greater sense of direction and hope and encouragement about what to do and how to do it. Hopefully you will feel that I will support you in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.
