ADHD can make even strong relationships feel disconnected, leading to misunderstandings, frustration, and emotional distance. The good news: when ADHD is understood as a neurological difference rather than a character flaw, couples can rebuild empathy, communication, and trust.

What Makes This Work
ADHD relationships are the only thing we do. That focus shapes every session, not just which techniques we use, but what we notice, how we read the dynamic, and what we know to look for before either partner says a word.
Built for ADHD
Every session, every framework, every piece of homework is designed for how the ADHD brain works, not adapted from neurotypical templates that don’t account for impulsivity, time blindness, or emotional flooding.
Four Integrated Modalities
Schema Therapy, the Gottman Method, EFT for Couples, and CBT, each adapted for ADHD relationships and integrated through the ADHD Couples Therapy NYC Method rather than applied as separate protocols.
A Specialized Team
Travis, Paul, and Tiffany have each built deep clinical expertise in ADHD relationships. You won’t spend sessions explaining what ADHD is or defending the diagnosis, they already know what they’re looking at.
100% Online, Statewide
Secure video sessions accessible anywhere in New York : Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester, and beyond. No commute, no scheduling around office hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions couples ask us most.
+ Do both partners need to have ADHD?
No. Most of the couples we work with have one partner with ADHD and one without. Therapy is designed to help both partners, including the non-ADHD partner, feel heard, supported, and equipped with tools that work for the relationship as a whole.
+ Do we need a formal ADHD diagnosis to start?
Not at all. Many couples begin therapy suspecting ADHD is part of the picture but without a formal diagnosis. We can help you understand what you’re experiencing and, if helpful, refer you to trusted ADHD evaluators.
+ Are sessions in person or online?
All sessions are conducted online via secure video. This makes therapy accessible to busy couples anywhere in New York State and removes the friction of commuting after a long workday.
+ How long does ADHD couples therapy take?
Every couple is different. Some see meaningful change in 8 to 12 sessions; others continue longer to deepen the work. We’ll discuss your goals during the free telephone consultation and revisit progress regularly.
+ What approaches do you use?
We integrate evidence-based methods including the Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), tailored to the specific ways ADHD shows up in your relationship.
