Therapy in New York by the numbers
Based on 2748 licensed therapists across the US, including 19 in New York · Updated July 2026
What to expect from therapy in New York
Whether you're new to therapy or have tried it before, here's what working through ADHD with a New York-based (or New York-licensed online) therapist usually looks like.
Comprehensive assessment
Your therapist will evaluate ADHD symptoms across different areas of life — work, relationships, daily tasks — and may coordinate with a psychiatrist for medication evaluation.
Practical strategies
Early sessions focus on immediate, practical tools — time management systems, organizational strategies, and routines that work with your ADHD brain, not against it.
The emotional side
Therapy also tackles frustration, shame and rejection sensitivity that often build up after years of struggling, and any anxiety or low mood that comes along.
Long-term habits
The goal is a set of habits and tools you can keep running on your own, with occasional check-ins when life changes, such as a new job or a new baby.

ADHD at work in New York
Is it ADHD, or just a busy life? The difference is that ADHD shows up across settings, started in childhood, and keeps causing problems even when life is calm. In demanding workplaces in New York, ADHD can show up as missed details, unanswered email and projects started but not finished, often in people who are otherwise highly capable. With sessions in New York typically running $150–$300, it helps to ask up front whether assessment and therapy are billed separately.
For ADHD at work, therapy often covers email systems, meeting notes, prioritizing and how to ask for workplace accommodations. Behavioral strategies break big tasks into small, visible steps with built-in rewards, which suits how ADHD motivation works.
Signs ADHD may be part of the picture
Parents often notice school reports about focus or behavior first; a child therapist can help you sort out what's ADHD and what isn't. Hyperfocus, getting so absorbed that hours vanish, is part of ADHD for many people, not proof that it isn't ADHD.
For a child, ask how the therapist works with parents and whether they'll talk to the school. Ask about reminders and scheduling support, so missed sessions don't become one more source of guilt. Ask whether the therapist can help you think through workplace accommodations, such as written instructions or a quieter workspace. A short list of two or three ADHD therapists in New York, picked on the focus areas and fees their profiles list, is enough to start.

Find ADHD help in New York →Frequently Asked Questions
Does ADHD therapy help with procrastination?
Procrastination is one of the main targets of CBT for adult ADHD: breaking tasks down, starting before you feel ready, and dealing with the frustration and shame that build up around unfinished work.
How can parents help a child with ADHD at home?
Consistent routines, clear and short instructions, frequent praise for effort, and predictable consequences all help. Parent training programs teach these skills and are a first-line treatment for younger children.
Is ADHD therapy useful if I already take medication?
Yes. Medication can improve attention, but therapy teaches the systems and coping skills medication doesn't. Many people get the best results from both.
How many therapists does FindSupport list in New York for ADHD?
FindSupport has 19 therapists in New York. Not every profile names ADHD as a specialty, so describe what you need and we'll point out the ones who fit.
Are there more ADHD therapists near New York?
Across Buffalo, Hartford, and New Haven, FindSupport lists 40 more therapists. Those licensed in New York can see you by video; the others only in person.
How much does ADHD counseling cost in New York, NY?
ADHD therapy in New York typically costs $150–$300 per session. For a sense of scale, twelve weekly sessions at that rate come to about $1,800–$3,600 before insurance or sliding-scale discounts. Insurance, sliding-scale fees and less frequent sessions can bring that down; ask before the first appointment.
Can I see an ADHD therapist online in New York?
Yes. Online ADHD therapy works well for many people. The therapist needs to be licensed in New York (where you are during the session), so you aren't limited to ADHD therapists based in New York. Video sessions cut out the commute, though a quiet, distraction-free spot at home matters more than usual.
