Counseling in Abilene, Texas
ADHD & Executive Functioning
When knowing what to do is not the same as being able to do it.
You know what needs doing, yet getting started, keeping track, or finishing can take more effort than others seem to notice. Being told to try harder has not helped.
When this feels familiar
Trying harder may not answer the question you have.
You might want support that takes your actual routines, attention, and responsibilities seriously instead of offering another system you cannot sustain.
Working together
Work with the way your everyday life actually unfolds.
Start with your experience, then choose goals and an approach that fit your circumstances.
Your first conversation
You don’t need to explain it perfectly.
“I know what needs doing. I just can’t seem to make it happen consistently.”
You can bring a specific example from home, school, or work. Ask about the clinician’s experience with your age group and whether their services fit the kind of support you are seeking.
You can ask about the clinician’s approach and share what would help you feel more comfortable talking. You do not need a prepared speech or a complete history ready to tell.

Help me find a clinicianBefore you reach out
A few things you might be wondering.
Does counseling include an ADHD assessment?
Not automatically. Ask explicitly about diagnostic evaluation and testing, which may require a separate service or referral.
Can I ask for help without an ADHD diagnosis?
Yes. Describe the attention or follow-through difficulties you want help with. A clinician can discuss assessment and suitable support.
Do you work with both children and adults?
Ages served vary by clinician. Check the individual profile and confirm fit with the office before scheduling.
Can sessions focus on practical everyday difficulties?
You can bring examples such as starting tasks, managing transitions, remembering commitments, or navigating school and work demands. Ask about the clinician’s experience with your age group and clarify whether you want counseling support or a formal assessment.
Can I meet online or use insurance?
Appointment formats and insurance networks vary by clinician. Review the individual profile, then ask the office to confirm availability, current fees, and your plan’s benefits before you begin.
What if I’m not sure which clinician to choose?
Contact the office with a little information about what you are looking for. You can ask about relevant experience, ages served, appointment formats, and payment options.
