Nick Donahue LICSW

ADHD THERAPIST

    in Washington D.C.

ADHD is one thing. Everything that comes with it is another.

 

Bad jobs and bad relationships.

​

Getting high or drunk more than you'd like.

​​

And feeling like a failure.

 

You know the deal.

​

Having ADHD or suspecting it doesn’t mean you have to keep paying the same price though.

 

My work helps you understand ADHD, work with it, and lead a pretty solid life.

Hey there, I'm Nick.

...and I'm a psychotherapist in Washington, D.C. (go figure).

​

I help people from high school through midlife sort through life’s messiness, find some clarity, and stop feeling like total screw-ups.

A Few Places to Start

ADHD affects more than just your attention.

 

It changes your focus, self-view, relationships, and purpose.

 

Here are key areas I discuss with clients to help them understand and navigate their experiences.

Shame & Self Doubt

Shame & Self-Doubt

Maybe you’ve spent a long time wondering why everything seems easier for everyone else.

​

A mistake can stick with you long after everyone else has forgotten about it. You second-guess yourself, replay conversations, and start treating that nagging voice in your head like it’s telling you the truth.

​

Therapy can give you some distance from that voice—and a chance to build a different relationship with yourself.

Anxiety & Overwhelm

When your mind is always running, even ordinary life can start to feel like a lot.

​

One thought leads to another, and suddenly you’re ten steps ahead of yourself. It can feel like trying to keep your head above water while there’s always something else demanding your attention.

​

Together, we’ll slow things down and figure out what’s actually going on, so anxiety doesn’t get to run the whole show.

Relationships & Dating

Relationships & Dating

Whether you're dating, navigating a breakup, struggling to communicate, or noticing the same patterns showing up over and over again, therapy offers a place to slow down, understand what's happening, and begin to respond differently.

​

Sometimes changing a relationship starts with understanding yourself.

Let's Work
Together

I provide individual therapy for teens and adults, both in person in Washington, DC and virtually throughout DC and Virginia. Sessions are 60 minutes, so we have time to actually talk, dig into what’s going on, and do some work together—not just squeeze everything into a quick check-in.

You don’t have to know exactly what you need before reaching out. 

​Every good therapy relationship starts with a conversation. Let's start there.
