You Can Thrive in College and Afterwards—With the Right Support

Succeed in College—On Your Terms
College can be an exciting time of growth, independence, and new opportunities. But if you have ADHD, it can also feel overwhelming, unstructured, and exhausting trying to keep up. The sudden lack of external structure, the mountain of deadlines, and the constant pressure to “get it together” can make even the most capable student feel like they’re falling behind.
At Humble Roots Counseling, we specialize in helping college students with ADHD work smarter, not harder—so you can build habits, manage your workload, and succeed without burning out.

Why ADHD Feels Different in College - And After College
Many students with ADHD struggle academically—not because they aren’t intelligent or capable, but because traditional education wasn’t built for ADHD brains. In college, the challenges can feel even more intense:
🔹 Procrastination & last-minute scrambling – Deadlines pile up fast, and without external accountability, staying on top of assignments can feel impossible.
🔹 Time management struggles – You know what you need to do, but somehow, the hours slip away, and suddenly, it’s 2 AM and the paper isn’t done.
🔹 Overwhelm & burnout – The ADHD cycle of motivation bursts → exhaustion → avoidance → stress is exhausting.
🔹 Imposter syndrome & self-doubt – Struggling in school or finding your footing in your early career, despite your potential can make you question if you belong there at all.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
