About Teresa Lauer

With over hours treating clients with Adult ADHD over the past two decades I understand that perhaps you feel misunderstood and that no one listens. That changes now, with me. I am warm, supportive and non-judgmental; I understand your struggles and that perhaps you\'ve always felt ADHD is causing pain in your life. You\'ve taken tests online and it seems like you have so many of the symptoms. Or perhaps your child has been diagnosed with ADHD and pieces are falling into place. Whatever brings you here now, you are finally at a spot where the ADHD is just not OK anymore. And I can help! • You may have been told by others that you\'re \"thin skinned\" or emotional • You’re more perceptive or intuitive than others • You\'re a high-achiever, expert at hyperfocus—but mostly with the things that interest you or provide some kind of pleasure • Becoming engaged in some things is just beyond what you can handle and you end up feeling frustrated and wondering what\'s wrong with you • If you can’t do something perfect, you’d rather not do it at all • You\'ve reached heights in your career that others envy, though they may not realize fully what it has taken for you to get there • The words \"Imposter Syndrome\" ring in your head every time you sense judgement or criticism from others. Getting where you have has taken a lot from you personally as well as from your relationships • Irresistible urges are commonplace and relentless. Days, hours—minutes, even—are full of distraction and overwhelm leaving you exhausted. • The highest level of care and concern in moving forward towards a happy, healthy, well-balanced life as an adult with ADHD • A thorough, professional assessment of Adult ADHD • A firm diagnosis we can work from • A custom treatment plan (psychotherapy or coaching) addressing areas you\'re struggling with
