Matthew Heintz, LCSW

I help adults with ADHD—especially those diagnosed later in life or those who have yet to be diagnosed—manage anxiety, build self-esteem, and learn to work with their brain rather than against it.

If you’ve always felt capable but inconsistent—struggling to follow through, manage anxiety, and feel good about yourself, you may be dealing with ADHD, even if you were only recently diagnosed or are just starting to question it.

You may feel like you’re constantly trying to keep up. Managing responsibilities, showing up for others, and doing your best to stay on top of things, yet still feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or not “good enough.” Many of my clients have ADHD and were diagnosed later in life, or are beginning to recognize that ADHD may be the answer to some of their lifelong questions. ADHD often comes hand in hand with anxiety, self-doubt, and a long history of being misunderstood.

I specialize in working with adults with ADHD who struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, and follow-through. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel stuck internally, replaying mistakes, worrying about letting others down, or pushing themselves to the point of burnout just to keep up. Together, we’ll work to understand how ADHD impacts your thoughts, emotions, and daily life, while also developing practical strategies that actually fit the way your brain works.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. I believe that the challenges you’re facing make sense when we understand your experiences in context, they are not personal failures. Often, it’s a matter of not having the tools that work for you. In our sessions, I encourage open dialogue so therapy feels like a space where you can ask questions, be yourself, and actively shape the direction of your growth. I see progress when clients feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and clearly identifying what they want from our work together.

Therapy can be uncomfortable at times, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. It makes sense—you may have heard advice like “just focus” or “try harder,” even when those approaches never really worked for you. At the same time, therapy can be a place where you begin to feel understood, supported, and more confident in how you navigate your life. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’m just a message away and would be glad to connect.
