Living with ADHD can present numerous benefits and challenges. On one hand, ADHD can make focusing hard; however, hyperfocus allows for deep engagement in tasks that are exciting or interesting. This ability to lock in can lead to high productivity and mastery in areas of passion. When in a focus and flow state, ADHDers can really thrive.
However, an ADHD brain can also present some unique challenges which can lead to feelings of isolation and shame. But you don’t have to navigate it alone! Group therapy offers a unique space for individuals to share experiences and learn from each other. For women and nonbinary folks, this can be particularly empowering, providing not only a sense of community but also practical tools to thrive.
Join us and take the first step towards thriving with ADHD in a community that truly understands you.
Understanding ADHD Affirming Group Therapy: A Unique Approach
ADHD affirming group therapy provides a supportive environment where individuals can share their experiences and learn from others facing similar challenges. Unlike individual therapy, group sessions offer the advantage of multiple perspectives and shared strategies. This makes it easier for participants to relate to each other, fostering a sense of belonging.
Our ADHD-affirming virtual therapeutic group is tailored for women and nonbinary folks. This group, facilitated by Dr. Brittany Bate, Ph.D., runs from March 19, 2025, to June 25, 2025. Sessions are held every other Wednesday from 3-4pm EST. The initial intake session costs $125, followed by $65 per group session, with sliding scale spots available.
The group focuses on celebrating neurodivergent identities while providing a space for connection, resource sharing, and skill building. The aim is to create a community where participants can thrive and find practical tools for better managing ADHD. The approach is strengths-based, emphasizing the unique skills and attributes of each participant.
Key Benefits of Participating in ADHD Affirming Group Therapy
1. Community Building
Creating a sense of community is a cornerstone of our group. Members can connect with others who understand their experiences and challenges. This sense of belonging can be incredibly validating and empowering.
2. Resource Sharing
Group members share strategies, tips, and practical tools that help them manage ADHD. This collective wisdom provides new ideas and approaches that you might not have considered on your own. It’s all about learning from each other.
3. Cultivate Self-Compassion
The group aims to rewrite negative narratives tied to ADHD, such as shame and perfectionism. Participants learn to appreciate their strengths and develop self-compassion. This shift in perspective can significantly impact mental well-being.
4. Skill Building
Sessions focus on practical skills that help participants thrive. From self-care routines to managing mood and anxiety, the group provides tools that can be applied in daily life. This is about building resilience and improving overall quality of life.
