ADHD Couples Counseling
“She’s completely insensitive to my feelings.”
“He forgot our anniversary — again!”
“How could she forget to pay the bills?”
“He just doesn’t seem to be with me even when he’s right here.”
Do any of these sound like things you have said or thought? If so, you have come to the right place.
Romantic relationships are hard enough, but sustaining a stimulating and satisfying romantic relationship can be even more challenging if one partner has ADD/ADHD. At the same time, parent-child conflicts are common and failed marriages more frequent in families dealing with ADHD.

- the selection of romantic partners.

You and Your partner will learn to:
- Replace distance with closeness.
- Replace conflict with harmony.
- Restore lost love.
- Heal the wounds of betrayal.
- Rekindle romance and passion.
- Heighten sexual fulfillment.
- Renew trust and commitment.

Norman and Kathy’s Story: “Despite being separated, we learned how to create win/win situations that helped us regain — and keep — our marriage happy.
“We had been living separately for over a year and a half. Both of us had accepted divorce as the next step. We decided to give it one last chance before we filed.
Our counseling experience at EswithADHD was life altering. The breakthroughs were unbelievable, yet seemingly simple. Some ADHD related behaviors felt very personal, but in reality they weren’t. We just processed things differently. He had ADHD, and I overprocessed every thing.
As we learn more about our differences, feelings resurfaced that we hadn’t been expressed in years. There were so many unexpressed resentments and hurts that we were both holding on to. I thought we would never work through them.
Our counselor was very candid and direct with us. We laughed, cried and grew to understand each other. Ultimately, we learned how to create win/win vs. win/lose or lose/lose scenarios.” We remain very happily married to this day.”
Mark and Hannah’s Story: “We wasted a lot of money with marital counselors. But getting specialized marriage counseling for couples with ADHD worked.”“EswithADHD Marriage Counseling saved our dead marriage. We had been to several counselors and were only getting worse. Working with someone who understood the unique challenges associated with ADHD was, so easy to talk and it felt like you had known us forever. I felt so comfortable the second we met.
I was so nervous to go because we had already spent so much money on counselors. It was hard to trust your “we only need to understand how people with ADHD and without ADHD function differently.” However, this approach was worth every penny. We are so in love and plan on staying that way. It is nice to know that you are only a phone call away in case we run into a problem. It was an awesome experience.”

Rachael and Robert’s Story: “You saved our marriage: It was all but dead.”“We tried everything to save our marriage, it was all but dead. We both wanted to make it work, but everything we tried failed. Her ADHD was driving me crazy.
This process has changed our love, relationship and commitment to each other and our marriage. I would personally recommend therapy for couples that want to save their relationship.”

Michael and Jonathon’s Story: “The first 2 years were miserable, and the future seemed bleaker. His ADHD was causing us a rack of problems…I left the marriage.”“Joe and I had been married for two years and we were unhappy already. That loving feeling was long gone. Instead, we fought all of the time. Although I pleaded with Joe to go to counseling, he refused. Time after time again we tried to repair the marriage on our own, but it always ended up much worse. In the end, there was verbal – and, yes, even – physical abuse, and an affair.
Hopeless, I left the marriage.
He began counseling without me, and asked if I would come. At first, I refused. However, guilt overcame me (I am Catholic after all), and I wanted to be able to tell others that I had tried. Once I began to see some sincere changes in Joe, I decided to give it an earnest attempt.
For the last five years, we have been happily married. I love my husband more than when we took our vows. I’ve rediscovered my soul mate, and we are pregnant. I am thrilled to know our daughter will be born into a happy home. Thanks!”

Richard and Nicoles’s Story: “Much to our surprise, we re-ignited the flame.”
“I hadn’t felt love for my wife in at least 6 years. In fact, it was well beyond not loving her; I couldn’t stand being in the same room with her. All we ever did was fight. We didn’t care if the kids were standing right there, we would just sling mud at each other.
Knowing the damage we were doing to our kids, I came to a counselor for the sake of the kids. I never expected Nicler and I to find each other again. We began to really understand ADHD and eachother. As our understanding increased, we began to resolve our conflicts, forgive each other and re-ignited the flame we once felt towards each other. Thanks a million.”
