Find Support for Attention, Focus, and Executive Function Challenges In Brooklyn, NY, and NJ
Some things aren’t meant to be carried alone. That’s where we come in!
VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON THERAPY IN Brooklyn, NEW YORK & NEW JeRSEY
If you’re exploring ADHD therapy, you’re likely looking for more than surface-level coping tips. Many people seeking care are navigating attention regulation, impulsivity, stress, mood shifts, productivity struggles, or long-standing patterns that affect work, relationships, and self-esteem. Effective care often begins with thoughtful assessment, accurate diagnosis, and a clear treatment plan that considers cognition, behavior, and lived experience.
We Connect You With
The Right Therapist
But you get us all
At Ditch The Couch Therapy, our clinicians work with adults and young adults (including high school and college-aged clients) using evidence-informed psychotherapy and behavioral approaches. Care may include evaluation, executive function support, mindfulness strategies, and coordination with psychiatry or medical providers when medication management is part of a client’s plan. Treatment is collaborative, practical, and designed to help clients build confidence, regulation skills, and sustainable change.
What We Do
Yes, we do therapy—but not the kind that keeps you stuck talking in circles. Our work focuses on helping people move forward using structured, evidence-based methods such as cognitive and behavioral psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and skills training. Sessions are grounded in clinical psychology and tailored to each client’s goals, whether that involves managing anxiety, improving focus, or strengthening emotional regulation.
We show up prepared, engaged, and fully present. This is a clinic environment where assessment, treatment, and ongoing evaluation work together—without judgment and without pressure to “perform” progress.
Who We Work With
Real people, with real lives
(just like the one reading this)
We work with people navigating complex, overlapping experiences. Some are managing attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder alongside anxiety or depression. Others are coping with insomnia, procrastination, or chronic stress that impacts work and relationships. We also support individuals, partners, and families during periods of adjustment, development, or identity exploration.
Adults balancing productivity, mood, and executive function demands
Young adults in high school or college navigating attention, academic pressure, and emotional regulation
Partners and couples seeking education, understanding, and support around ADHD-related challenges
Couples and groups addressing communication patterns and shared stressors
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy supports clients navigating attention challenges, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Treatment may include behavioral planning, cognitive restructuring, metacognition strategies, and mindfulness-based regulation. When appropriate, clinicians collaborate with psychiatry providers regarding non-stimulant medication options such as atomoxetine.
Couples Therapy
Attention and regulation challenges can affect communication, trust, and shared responsibilities. Couples therapy provides structured support for managing conflict, improving understanding, and building healthier patterns—without blame. Sessions focus on practical tools, education, and strategies that support emotional awareness, accountability, and connection.

Questions? We’ve Got Answers
It’d be weird if we didn’t, yeah?
-
Our therapists work with a wide range of mental health concerns, identities, and life experiences. Some of the areas we support most often include:
Anxiety, depression, burnout, and grief
ADHD and executive functioning
Trauma, C-PTSD, and religious trauma
Relationship struggles, identity exploration, and low self-worth
Gender, sexuality, and alternative lifestyles
Work stress, career transitions, and major life changes
We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in and help match you with the therapist who’s best equipped to support you. If what you’re navigating isn’t listed here, that doesn’t mean we can’t help. Ask us. If it’s not in our wheelhouse, we’ll help you find someone who’s a better fit.
-
This first session is a conversation, not a quiz. We’ll ask about what’s been coming up for you, where you’re feeling stuck, and what you want out of therapy. No pressure to lay everything out at once—we’ll go at your pace.
-
Weekly sessions tend to be the most effective, so that’s our starting point. If your schedule, finances, or goals call for something different, we’ll work together to figure that out.
-
That depends on what you’re working through and what kind of support you’re looking for. Some people come in for a short season; others stay longer. We’ll check in often to make sure things feel useful, aligned, and supportive.
-
Yes to both. We offer virtual therapy for clients across New York and New Jersey, and we have physical office locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan for in-person sessions.
-
We work with kids, teens, adults, and older adults. Most of our clients are 5 and up—and we meet people where they’re at, no matter their stage of life.
-
That depends on the therapist. Some work with EMDR or somatic practices. Others lean into CBT, IFS, EMDR, psychodynamic, or other frameworks. You can learn more about each therapist’s style on our Meet the Team page.
-
Rates range from $175 to $300, depending on the therapist. Some therapists offer sliding scale spots based on availability. Payment is processed securely online.
-
We’re in-network with Aetna, Northwell, UMR, and Original Medicare Part B.
If you have different coverage, we’ve partnered with Mentaya to help you get reimbursed through your out-of-network benefits. They file claims for you, deal with the insurance company, and make sure your session costs get back to you. You can learn more or sign up here.
Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim, and they guarantee submissions go through—or they refund that fee.
-
Yes. We send out monthly superbills you can submit to your insurance if you'd rather handle claims on your own.

Yes, We Take Insurance

Need a superbill for reimbursement? We’ll help you get it. Paying out of pocket? We’ll walk you through what to expect, before you’re on the hook for anything.
However you work with us, the care stays the same (really freaking good).
We accept:
