Ann Arbor ADHD Therapist
Improve focus, reduce overwhelm, and finally feel in control of your ADHD
ADHD affects 15.5 million U.S. adults. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I feel so out-of-sync with everyone around me?” then you may have it too. Thankfully, ADHD Therapy can help.
Living with ADHD Can Be Painful
People with ADHD often spend their time doing everything they can to appear “normal,” hiding the ways they feel different.
They filter what they really want to say. They withhold sharing their true desires. And they may even hide their most authentic selves from those closest to them.
How do other people seem to have their lives so put together—making clear choices and moving forward with confidence—while people with ADHD feel stuck, unmotivated, and unseen?
Living with ADHD often feels like running a race no one else seems to struggle with.
Distraction, unfinished tasks, and the weight of feeling misunderstood can leave us exhausted. All this minimizing and hiding takes an emotional toll, leaving us wondering if something more is possible.
That’s why you’re here, right? Some voice inside you is whispering, “go deeper.” Call it intuition, your true self, or your soul—there’s a part of you that knows change is possible.
ADHD therapy can help you rediscover your strengths, step out of hiding, and create a life where you feel seen and confident. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Together, we can help you thrive.

WHO IS JESSE?
An ADHD Therapist for You
Jesse Kauffman
ADHD Therapist and Owner of Atelier Therapy
I’m Jesse Kauffman, a licensed psychotherapist specializing in ADHD. I believe in intuition and cherish the divergent path.
Because I’ve lived with ADHD, I know how it feels in my mind and body. It’s like you’re out-of-sync with the world, always worried about what you’re missing and how it might interfere with your life and relationships. Is it the same for you?
I once saw ADHD as my weakness. Today I see that ADHD has given me an acute perceptive awareness of others that is a great strength, especially to my therapy clients.
We’ve got an overabundance of attention, more attention than we can cope with; our constant challenge is to control it.
― Dr. Edward M. Hallowell

ADHD Therapy FAQs
Calming an ADHD mind involves mindfulness, movement, structured routines (I know…), and grounding techniques like deep breathing or sensory focus. Reducing distractions, practicing positive self-talk, and focusing on one task at a time also help. I provide all my clients with proven, tailored strategies for calming and managing their ADHD minds.
Yes, ADHD is recognized as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It can qualify individuals for accommodations in school, work, or public settings if symptoms significantly impair daily functioning. I can help you look at your options in therapy.
Even though “disorder” is in the name, having ADHD is primarily only a disorder because our current world is not built with ADHDers in mind. While we wait (and work) on the world changing, let’s work together to create a plan for your specific needs.
Untreated ADHD in adults can lead to chronic stress, low self-esteem, difficulty maintaining relationships, and career challenges. It may also increase the risk of anxiety, depression, or impulsive behaviors that disrupt daily life.
People with ADHD can benefit from therapy, medication, coaching, and support groups. My professional opinion is that therapy is the best starting point for managing ADHD. We can discuss your options and routes for improvement together, and weigh the pros and cons of each.
Yes, untreated ADHD can lead to worsening symptoms due to increasing demands of adulthood, such as career and relationships. Some people only realize they have ADHD once the demands of being a parent start to emphasize their organizational challenges. Untreated ADHD can also contribute to coexisting conditions like anxiety or depression over time.
ADHD doesn’t necessarily worsen with age, but challenges may appear greater as life responsibilities increase. Hormonal changes or untreated symptoms can amplify difficulties. Therapy and coping tools can mitigate these effects.
No one tells you that ADHD often comes with hidden strengths, like creativity, problem-solving, and resilience. While it presents challenges, ADHD therapy can help you discover how to turn those traits into advantages.
No, ADHD is not a form of autism, but the two share similarities, such as difficulties with focus and social interactions. They can co-occur, but they are distinct neurodevelopmental conditions.
I offer ADHD Therapy for $310 per session. New clients join for weekly sessions and appreciate seeing the progress of meeting regularly within the first several sessions. We can discuss options during the free initial consultation.
Getting started is easy! Contact me to schedule your free consultation. I’m always open to meeting new clients and would love to help you take the next step in your ADHD journey.
