ADHD Treatment in Indianapolis for Focus and Daily Functioning
Living with ADHD can feel like you’re constantly trying to catch up—at work, at school, and in everyday life. It can show up as trouble focusing, feeling overwhelmed by tasks, forgetfulness, or difficulty staying organized.
These challenges can affect confidence, relationships, and performance differently for each person, whether symptoms began in childhood or became more noticeable in adulthood.
At Sommer Psychology Group, we use evidence-based ADHD treatment, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and practical skills-based strategies, to help you improve focus, reduce overwhelm, and feel more in control of your day-to-day life.
Our goal is simple: help you build the tools and structure you need so life feels more manageable, and less like you’re always behind.
What you Can expect from ADHD Therapy
How ADHD Therapy Can Improve Your Life
ADHD therapy looks different for everyone, but with the right strategies and support, many people experience meaningful, lasting improvements in how they manage daily life. As you build new skills and structure, you may notice:
- You’re able to focus longer and feel less pulled off track by distractions.
- Your days feel more organized, manageable, and less overwhelming.
- It becomes easier to start tasks rather than put them off.
- You follow through on responsibilities and meet deadlines more consistently.
- You feel more confident, capable, and in control of your daily life.
Inattentive Type
Individuals with the inattentive presentation of ADHD often struggle to stay focused, follow through on tasks, or stay organized. They may appear forgetful, easily distracted, or frequently lose things. Common signs include: difficulty paying attention to details, frequent careless mistakes in work or school, trouble sustaining attention during conversations or tasks, avoiding or procrastinating on tasks that require sustained effort, often losing items like keys, phones, or school materials and seeming not to listen, even when spoken to directly. This presentation may be under-recognized, especially in women and adults, because it lacks the more disruptive behaviors seen in hyperactive/impulsive ADHD.
Hyperactive-Impulsive Type
This presentation involves high levels of physical activity and impulsive behavior. Adults may seem “on the go” or act without considering consequences. Common signs include: fidgeting or tapping hands or feet, difficulty staying seated in situations where it’s expected, talking excessively or interrupting others, difficulty waiting their turn, engaging in risky or impulsive behaviors and restlessness or feeling the need to constantly move. These symptoms are often more noticeable and tend to be identified earlier in life.
Combined Presentation
Many individuals experience a combination of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms. This is the most common form of ADHD and often involves challenges with focus, organization, activity regulation, and impulse control.
Emotional Dysregulation and ADHD
Though not included in the diagnostic criteria, many individuals with ADHD struggle with regulating their emotions. They may experience frequent mood swings, low frustration tolerance, intense emotional reactions and difficulty calming down when upset. These emotional symptoms can impact relationships, academic performance, and overall quality of life.
Executive Functioning Challenges
ADHD is closely tied to impairments in executive functioning, the set of mental skills that help with planning, organizing, time management, and self-monitoring. People with ADHD may struggle with task initiation and completion, miss deadlines or forget important commitments, have difficulty prioritizing tasks and struggle to manage time effectively. Executive functioning difficulties often contribute significantly to the daily challenges faced by individuals with ADHD.
Co-Occuring Conditions
Many people with ADHD also experience other mental health conditions. These may include anxiety disorders, depression or mood disorders, learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia), sleep difficulties, and obsessive-compulsive (OCD) or related disorders. Treatment typically addresses both ADHD and any co-occurring issues to support holistic well-being.
Supportive care can help you overcome ADHD.

What is ADHD Therapy?
ADHD can make daily life feel overwhelming—especially when focus, organization, time management, and follow-through feel inconsistent or difficult to control. Many people with ADHD describe feeling scattered, frustrated, or constantly behind on responsibilities.
In ADHD therapy, we work together to understand how these challenges show up in your life, identify the patterns that get in the way, and build a personalized plan for change. Our approach uses evidence-based strategies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to develop practical skills for improving focus, organization, time management, and emotional regulation.
This work goes beyond short-term coping skills. It’s about creating sustainable systems, building confidence, and helping you function more effectively in your daily life.
At Sommer Psychology Group, we help you move beyond the challenges of ADHD toward greater clarity, structure, and control.

Strategies We Apply in ADHD Therapy
At Sommer Psychology Group, we use evidence-based strategies to help adults manage the challenges of ADHD. Our approach is tailored to your specific needs, providing practical tools to improve focus, organization, time management, and emotional regulation, so you can feel more in control, productive, and confident in daily life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for ADHD
CBT is a well-established, evidence-based approach to treating ADHD. In sessions with trained psychologists experienced in ADHD, we use CBT to help you understand how attention difficulties, procrastination, and impulsive behaviors affect your daily life. Through guided exercises, worksheets, and supportive one-on-one sessions, you’ll learn practical strategies to improve focus, manage time, regulate emotions, and follow through on tasks. CBT for ADHD empowers you with knowledge and tools to build structure, reduce overwhelm, and take greater control of your daily functioning.
Time Management & Organizational Skills Training for ADHD
Time management and organizational skills training helps adults with ADHD develop strategies to better manage their daily responsibilities. In our sessions, we’ll work together to identify the habits, distractions, and patterns that make it difficult to stay organized and manage your time effectively. Instead of relying on last-minute efforts or feeling overwhelmed, you’ll gradually learn practical strategies for planning, prioritizing, and structuring tasks in a supportive environment. Over time, this process helps strengthen executive functioning, reduce stress, and improve productivity. Skills training empowers you to approach daily responsibilities with greater focus, confidence, and control.
Emotional Regulation Skills Training for ADHD
Emotional regulation training helps adults with ADHD build a healthier relationship with their emotions and reactions. In our therapy sessions, we work with you to recognize emotional triggers and respond to frustration, impulsivity, and stress without judgment. Through guided exercises, mindfulness strategies, and supportive one-on-one work, you’ll learn how to manage strong emotions, reduce reactive behaviors, and increase self-control. Emotional regulation training empowers you to navigate daily challenges with greater calm, confidence, and flexibility.

Questions About ADHD Therapy
Can ADHD be treated or cured with the help of a therapist?
ADHD can’t be “cured,” but it can be effectively managed with the support of a therapist using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), skills training, and behavioral strategies, sometimes in combination with medication when appropriate. Our Indiana ADHD therapists specialize in helping adults understand their symptoms, develop practical tools, and create personalized plans to improve focus, organization, time management, and emotional regulation. With the convenience of online therapy, we support you every step of the way toward lasting improvements and greater control over daily life.
How can I stop ADHD from interfering with my life?
The key to reducing ADHD’s impact is learning and practicing practical strategies that support focus, organization, and emotional regulation. In ADHD therapy, we teach tools to manage distractibility, break tasks into manageable steps, improve time management, and regulate impulsive behaviors. Techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), skills training, mindfulness, and planning strategies can help you regain control and prevent ADHD from interfering with your daily life, work, and relationships.
What causes ADHD? Why can't I just focus?
ADHD is a developmental neurobehavioral disorder that begins in childhood and often continues into adulthood. It is rooted in differences in brain development and executive functioning, which can make attention, organization, time management, and impulse control more challenging. Clinically, adults with ADHD may struggle with distractibility, chronic procrastination, difficulty following through on tasks, emotional dysregulation, forgetfulness, and inconsistent productivity. These challenges are not due to laziness or lack of effort—they reflect real differences in brain function that require targeted strategies and support to manage effectively. Understanding these underlying factors can help explain why you struggle with focus, organization, and managing impulses, and is an important first step toward developing effective strategies to manage ADHD in daily life.
How long will it take to feel better?
Every individual’s experience with ADHD is unique. A typical treatment plan may last several months, though progress can vary depending on the severity of symptoms and commitment to therapy. With specialized ADHD treatment, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and skills training, often offered conveniently online, many adults see meaningful improvements sooner than expected. Our goal is to help you build lasting strategies to manage attention, organization, and emotional regulation, and regain greater control over your daily life.
