Navigating life with ADHD can be challenging. Navigating life as an LGBTQ+ person with ADHD? That brings a unique set of experiences that deserve understanding, validation, and real support.

At Humble Roots Counseling, we specialize in working with adults with ADHD and provide a compassionate, affirming, and judgment-free space for LGBTQ+ individuals. Whether you're struggling with focus, executive function, self-acceptance, or just feeling different in a world that doesn’t always get it, we’re here to help you find strategies that work—for your brain and your identity.

🔹 Feeling like an outsider—twice – ADHD can make social interactions, emotional regulation, and structure difficult. When combined with navigating identity, it can lead to a deep sense of not belonging.

🔹 Masking & burnout – Many people with ADHD learn to mask their symptoms, and many LGBTQ+ individuals feel pressure to hide parts of themselves. The mental load of both can be exhausting.

🔹 Struggles with self-trust & identity – ADHD can create self-doubt, impulsivity, and difficulty with decision-making, which may complicate the journey of self-discovery and identity affirmation.

🔹 Rejection Sensitivity & Trauma – Many LGBTQ+ adults with ADHD experience rejection sensitivity, making past invalidation, discrimination, or unsupportive environments even more painful to navigate.

Our work together isn’t just about managing ADHD or identity separately—it’s about addressing how they interact and impact your daily life. Therapy can help you:

✅ Understand your ADHD through a queer-affirming lens – Your ADHD isn’t a flaw, and neither is your identity. We explore how both shape your experiences and strengths.

✅ Build self-compassion & confidence – Unlearn the shame of feeling "too much" or "not enough" and develop a sense of self-trust and empowerment.

✅ Find ADHD-friendly coping strategies – Get practical, neurodivergent-friendly tools for time management, emotional regulation, executive function, and motivation.

✅ Heal from rejection & internalized shame – Work through past experiences of invalidation in a space that truly sees you.

✅ Navigate relationships & self-acceptance – Whether it’s communication, boundaries, or authenticity, we help you build fulfilling connections while honoring your needs.
