Dr. Schmidt provides adult therapy and coaching for ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, helping individuals better manage attention, organization, emotional regulation, and daily life challenges. Therapy is practical, supportive, and strengths-based, with a focus on building skills, confidence, and strategies for long-term well-being.

 

Adult therapy for ADHD focuses on helping individuals manage symptoms like inattention, impulsivity, and disorganization that can interfere with daily life. Dr. Schmidt uses therapeutic approaches that often include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which teaches practical strategies for improving focus, time management, and emotional regulation. Coaching and skills training are also common, helping adults build routines and develop coping mechanisms tailored to their unique challenges. Therapy may address related issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties, providing a supportive environment for personal growth. With consistent effort and the right therapeutic support, adults with ADHD can build healthier habits, improve their confidence, and create more fulfilling lives.

​

Adult therapy for autism is designed to support individuals in navigating social communication challenges, sensory sensitivities, and emotional regulation. Therapeutic approaches often include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) adapted for autistic adults, social skills training, and occupational therapy to address sensory needs. Therapy may also focus on managing co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which are common among autistic adults. A strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach is increasingly prioritized, helping individuals build on their unique abilities rather than focusing solely on deficits. Through therapy, autistic adults can gain tools for self-advocacy, improve their relationships, and find ways to thrive in environments that may not always be built with their needs in mind.
