ADHD Therapy in St. Louis Park: Why Women Are Being Overlooked

Here’s the thing: ADHD in women often flies under the radar. For decades, ADHD was painted as “little boys who can’t sit still in school.” But what about the women juggling kids, careers, relationships, and an endless list of sh*t to do—while secretly drowning because their brain won’t stop pinging like 37 tabs open on a laptop?
In my practice here in St. Louis Park, serving women across the Twin Cities, I see this constantly. Smart, capable women who wonder why life feels so much harder for them than everyone else. Spoiler: it’s not that you’re weak. It’s that your ADHD was missed, minimized, or mislabeled for years.
How ADHD Shows Up in Women
When women come to me for ADHD therapy in St. Louis Park, their stories usually sound something like this:
“I feel like I’m failing at everything—even though I’m working 10x harder than everyone else.”
“I can’t keep up with the house, the kids, my job, my partner—it’s never-ending.”
“I’ve been called disorganized, flaky, lazy. But none of that feels true.”
ADHD in women often looks like overwhelm, anxiety, or exhaustion—because we’ve been masking it for years.
Why ADHD Therapy Helps Women
ADHD therapy isn’t about fixing you (because you’re not broken). It’s about:
Building systems that actually work for your life as it is right now.
Untangling the guilt and shame that come from years of “trying harder.”
Helping you stop overfunctioning in your relationships (while your partner under-functions).
Learning how to actually rest—without your brain screaming at you about all the things you “should” be doing.
The Twin Cities Pressure Cooker
In Minneapolis–St. Paul, women are hustling nonstop—careers, families, social expectations, endless commitments. ADHD makes that already heavy load feel unbearable. Therapy gives you a space to pause, reset, and rebuild systems that fit your brain, not everyone else’s.
Bottom Line
If you’re a woman who feels like you’re constantly failing at “adulting,” ADHD therapy in St. Louis Park can help you cut through the shame, find tools that stick, and finally feel like your life works for you.
