You went in for toothpaste. You came out with throw pillows, a new coffee mug, and a rug you’re not even sure fits in your living room. Oh, and you forgot the damn toothpaste.
If that feels like your life on repeat, hi—welcome to the ADHD club. And before you start spiraling with shame, let me stop you: it’s not that you’re careless. It’s that your brain is wired differently.
In my practice here in St. Louis Park, serving adults across the Twin Cities, I hear these stories every day. And you know what? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken.
Why ADHD Brains Struggle with “Simple” Stuff
If you’ve got ADHD, the world loves to label you as “distracted,” “impulsive,” or “bad at adulting.” But let’s call it what it really is:
Your brain chases novelty like it’s oxygen.
Time feels slippery—five minutes and fifty minutes can feel the same.
Boring tasks (like toothpaste shopping) don’t register as important, even when they are.
You beat yourself up constantly, which makes focusing even harder.
Sound familiar? Yeah. It’s not laziness—it’s ADHD.
How ADHD Therapy Actually Helps
Here’s what happens when people come to me for ADHD therapy in St. Louis Park: we ditch the shame spiral and start building systems that actually work for your brain. We’ll:
Figure out why your routines fall apart (and rebuild them so they stick).
Learn how to manage time in ways that make sense for ADHD brains.
Build communication skills so your partner stops thinking you “don’t care.”
Work on self-compassion—because shame doesn’t organize your life, it just makes you feel like crap.
This isn’t about turning you into someone you’re not. It’s about making your life feel doable.
Why This Matters in the Twin Cities
Life in Minneapolis–St. Paul is already hectic. Long commutes, demanding jobs, family obligations. Add ADHD into the mix and suddenly everything feels like chaos. Therapy gives you a chance to stop spinning and start taking back control.
Bottom Line
If you’re tired of feeling like you’re always behind, ADHD therapy in St. Louis Park can help you get out of survival mode and actually feel like you’re thriving. Yes, even on a Target run.
