ADHD Counseling in Chicago

Break free from chaos

At Lily Counseling, we know that ADHD is more than distraction—it’s the feeling of falling behind despite your best efforts. For high-achieving women, ADHD often shows up as missed deadlines, forgotten tasks, emotional overwhelm, or chronic self-criticism. Our ADHD counseling helps you bring order to the mental clutter, develop practical systems that work for your brain, and build confidence in your ability to follow through. And if your faith is important to you, we can incorporate Christian or Catholic values into your coaching experience.

A Tailored Approach for Optimal Results

We go beyond general advice or productivity hacks. Through one-on-one ADHD counseling, we focus on helping you understand your unique brain wiring and build custom strategies that support both your personal and professional goals. Whether in-person or online, our counseling model blends psychology, structure, and compassionate accountability to help you thrive with ADHD—not fight against it.

When ADHD affects your performance

ADHD doesn’t mean you aren’t capable—it means your success requires a different kind of support. Here are common reasons people seek ADHD counseling at Lily Counseling:

  • Struggling to prioritize tasks or finish what you start.
  • Chronic procrastination or decision fatigue.
  • Difficulty organizing time, space, or responsibilities.
  • Feeling constantly behind or overwhelmed.
  • Low self-esteem due to years of underachievement or criticism.
  • Frustration in relationships because of forgetfulness or distraction.
  • A strong desire to succeed—but no clear path forward.
