Executive Functioning & ADHD
Struggling to stay organized, manage your time, or follow through on your goals? You’re not alone. Executive functioning challenges can make everyday tasks feel overwhelming, whether or not ADHD is part of your diagnosis. You may find yourself procrastinating, missing deadlines, feeling scattered, or running late despite your best intentions. These patterns can impact your work or academic life, relationships, and overall confidence.
Executive functioning difficulties can arise for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or life transitions. ADHD can also contribute to challenges with attention, planning, organization, and impulse control, but not everyone with executive functioning struggles has ADHD, and not everyone with ADHD experiences the same difficulties. Therapy and coaching can help you understand what’s getting in the way and support you in building sustainable, personalized strategies.
Therapy and coaching for executive functioning and ADHD
At Therapists of New York, we offer both therapy and coaching to support clients with executive functioning challenges, ADHD, or both.
• Therapy helps you explore the emotional patterns, beliefs, and past experiences that influence how you manage your tasks, time, and responsibilities.
• Coaching focuses on practical tools and systems that help you organize, initiate tasks, prioritize effectively, and follow through.
Together, these approaches address both the psychological and practical sides of executive functioning.
In therapy or coaching, you may work on:
• Identifying the specific areas where you feel stuck or overwhelmed
• Understanding the role of anxiety, shame, perfectionism, or fear of failure in your habits
• Developing systems for time management, organization, task initiation, and planning
• Creating routines that support follow-through and reduce stress
• Learning strategies tailored to ADHD-related challenges, such as distractibility or difficulty sustaining attention
• Building accountability and momentum so progress feels achievable
Our clinicians understand the overlap between EF challenges, ADHD, anxiety, burnout, and mood symptoms. Instead of imposing one rigid system, we help you develop tools that work with your brain, not against it.
With the right support, you can feel more organized, more confident, and more grounded in your daily life. Progress—not perfection—is the goal.
If you’re ready to strengthen your executive functioning skills or get support for ADHD, you can book a consultation with one of our clinicians below.
