ADHD Therapy in Missoula That Meets You Where You Are
ADHD can feel frustrating and exhausting — difficulty focusing, starting tasks but not finishing them, forgetfulness, restlessness, impulsivity, or feeling constantly behind no matter how hard you try. For many people in Missoula, ADHD shows up as academic struggles, workplace stress, relationship tension, or chronic self-criticism.
Living in Missoula can bring unique demands — balancing outdoor lifestyle with professional expectations, managing academic workloads, or navigating careers that require sustained focus and organization.
At Peaks and Valleys Therapy, we provide evidence-based ADHD therapy in Missoula, Montana designed to help you better understand how your brain works, strengthen executive functioning, and build practical systems that last.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, questioning whether you might have ADHD, or seeking support beyond medication alone, our licensed Missoula therapists offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to build skills and confidence.
ADHD support isn’t about trying harder — it’s about working smarter with how your brain is wired.
What is ADHD Therapy?
ADHD therapy is a collaborative process where you and your therapist work together to understand how attention, executive functioning, and emotional regulation impact your daily life.
We commonly support clients experiencing:
-
Inattentive-type ADHD
-
Hyperactive-impulsive ADHD
-
Combined-type ADHD
-
Executive functioning difficulties
-
Time management challenges
-
Emotional dysregulation
-

ADHD affects more than attention. You may notice:
-
Difficulty starting or completing tasks
-
Chronic procrastination
-
Forgetfulness or losing items
-
Trouble organizing responsibilities
-
Restlessness or feeling “on edge”
-
Emotional sensitivity or rejection sensitivity

Cycles of hyperfocus followed by burnout
Therapy helps address both the practical skill-building and the emotional impact of living with ADHD.

Our Approach to ADHD Therapy
We use evidence-based, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approaches tailored to your goals and learning style.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for ADHD
CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns (like “I’m lazy” or “I’ll never get this right”) while building structured strategies for planning, prioritizing, and follow-through.
Executive Function Skill Building
We work on concrete systems for organization, time management, task initiation, and accountability.
Emotional Regulation & Nervous System Work
Many individuals with ADHD experience intense emotions. We teach grounding tools and regulation strategies to increase stability and reduce overwhelm.
Strengths-Based & Neurodiversity-Affirming Care
ADHD is not a character flaw. We focus on leveraging creativity, energy, and problem-solving strengths while building support where needed.
Trauma-Informed Care
If past criticism, school struggles, or relational experiences have impacted your self-esteem, we approach healing with care and respect.
Our goal is not to “fix” you — it’s to help you understand your brain, reduce internalized shame, and build systems that make daily life more manageable and sustainable.
What to Expect in Your First Session
Your first ADHD therapy session in our Missoula office (or online) focuses on:
