ADHD Support for Women

Recognizing the Strength Behind the Struggle

For many women, ADHD often goes unnoticed or misunderstood. You may have spent years juggling responsibilities — career, family, relationships — while silently managing overwhelm, self-doubt, or exhaustion. What others see as being “too emotional,” “forgetful,” or “disorganized” may actually be symptoms of ADHD presenting differently in women.
At American Wellness Center in Dubai Healthcare City, our ADHD Support for Women provides a safe, understanding space to explore these challenges. Through tailored therapy and coaching, we help women embrace their strengths, find balance, and move forward with confidence.

Who This Service Is For

This service is designed for women who:

• Feel constantly overwhelmed despite being capable and hardworking.
• Struggle with organization, focus, or motivation.
• Experience frequent emotional ups and downs.
• Mask their symptoms to appear “in control.”
• Suspect ADHD but have never been formally assessed.
• Were diagnosed later in life and want to understand how ADHD affects them as adults.
• Balance multiple roles — professional, partner, mother — and feel stretched too thin.

If you recognize yourself in these experiences, you’re not alone — and support is available.

Understanding ADHD in Women

ADHD often manifests differently in women than in men, leading to frequent misdiagnosis or late diagnosis. Many women internalize symptoms or develop coping mechanisms that mask their struggles, such as perfectionism, overworking, or people-pleasing.

Our specialists help women understand patterns such as:

• Inattentiveness – Difficulty staying focused or remembering details.
• Emotional Sensitivity – Feeling easily discouraged or self-critical.
• Overcommitment – Taking on too much and struggling to say no.
• Perfectionism – Setting unrealistically high standards to compensate.
• Relationship Strain – Misunderstandings due to forgetfulness or distraction.
• Burnout – Constant fatigue from maintaining daily responsibilities.

Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward relief and self-compassion.

Our Therapeutic & Coaching Approach

At AWC, we offer an integrative approach designed specifically for women. Our team of psychologists, psychiatrists, and ADHD coaches collaborates to address emotional, cognitive, and lifestyle factors in a holistic way.

Our program may include:

• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for focus, self-esteem, and emotional balance.
• ADHD Coaching to develop organization, time management, and self-advocacy skills.
• Mindfulness & Emotional Regulation Training to calm racing thoughts and reduce anxiety.
• Lifestyle Planning for sleep, nutrition, and routine balance.
• Medication Management (if needed) under psychiatrist supervision.
• Hormonal Awareness to understand how menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause affect ADHD symptoms.

Each session is compassionate, practical, and culturally sensitive — created for women living busy, multifaceted lives in Dubai.

What You Can Expect to Gain

Through this program, women often experience:

• Greater self-awareness and self-acceptance.
• Improved organization and focus.
• Reduced anxiety and emotional reactivity.
• Healthier boundaries and self-care habits.
• More energy and satisfaction in daily life.

You’ll learn to manage ADHD not by trying to “fit the mold,” but by discovering what works best for your strengths and personality.
