Therapy for Adult ADHD

When your mind moves fast, therapy can help you slow down and focus

ADHD isn’t just a childhood condition. Many adults in Dubai live with undiagnosed or late-diagnosed ADHD, often mistaking their symptoms for stress, anxiety, or low motivation. If you're constantly distracted, overwhelmed by tasks, or struggle to follow through on plans, you're not lazy or disorganized—you might be navigating the world with a neurodiverse brain. At American Wellness Center, our therapists help adults with ADHD better understand their patterns and develop tools to thrive.

Who This Is For

  • Adults in Dubai who have been diagnosed with ADHD or suspect they might have it
  • Individuals who struggle with focus, time management, or staying organized
  • People who feel restless, impulsive, or constantly "on the go"
  • Professionals who find it difficult to prioritize, complete tasks, or manage distractions
  • Adults who experience emotional ups and downs, frustration, or burnout

What We Address

  • Inattention: Difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, and losing track of tasks
  • Hyperactivity & Restlessness: Feeling constantly driven or physically unsettled
  • Impulsivity: Speaking or acting without thinking, interrupting, or trouble with patience
  • Emotional Dysregulation: Intense moods, frustration, or low tolerance for stress
  • Time Blindness: Struggling with planning, estimating time, or meeting deadlines
  • Low Self-Esteem: Feelings of failure or underachievement despite effort

Our Approach to Care

At AWC, we help adults with ADHD develop practical skills and emotional insight:

  • ADHD-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To challenge negative self-talk and build executive functioning
  • Behavioral Coaching: Tools for time management, task planning, and goal setting
  • Emotional Regulation Strategies: To manage overwhelm, frustration, and motivation dips
  • Mindfulness-Based Techniques: To increase focus and reduce mental clutter
  • Psychoeducation: Understanding how ADHD works and how it affects your daily life
  • Supportive Therapy: To unpack identity, self-worth, and relationships impacted by ADHD

We also collaborate with in-house psychiatrists if medication or diagnosis is part of your care journey.


The Overlooked Adult Diagnosis

Though commonly associated with children, ADHD persists into adulthood for about 60% of those diagnosed early—and many more go undetected. Adults often experience it as forgetfulness, impulsivity, or emotional swings, especially under workplace or relational pressure. Research supports therapy and coaching as highly effective in helping adults manage focus, structure, and confidence without solely relying on medication.
