Living with ADHD in New York Can Feel Overwhelming!
Life in New York City moves fast. Deadlines pile up, distractions are everywhere, and the pressure to keep pace can feel relentless.
At PRGRS Therapy we know that for adults with ADHD, this environment can magnify daily challenges. Our clients often share that they are:
Struggling to stay focused in meetings or conversations
Forgetting appointments, deadlines, or important tasks
Jumping from one project to the next without finishing
Feeling frustrated or ashamed because “I should be able to handle this”
You may have tried countless planners, apps, or self-help strategies — only to slip back into old patterns.
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone, and it’s not a character flaw. At PRGRS Therapy we know that ADHD is a difference in how your brain manages attention, planning, and follow-through.
With the right strategies and support, you can work with your brain instead of against it. That’s where PRGRS Therapy comes in.
You’re Not Alone — Many New Yorker’s Silently Struggle with ADHD
ADHD affects hundreds of thousands adults in New York City. In a city like New York — full of noise, constant stimulation, and competing demands — the challenges can be amplified when someone has ADHD.
It’s common to feel like you’re always “behind” or to wonder why everyday tasks seem harder for you than for others. Many of our clients share this!
The truth is: ADHD has nothing to do with laziness or lack of intelligence. It’s a neurological condition that can impact focus, memory, time management, emotional regulation, and other executive functions.
Many of our clients are successful, high-achieving people living with ADHD. The difference is having tools, systems, and a supportive environment that work for you. All of this is part of ADHD Therapy at PRGRS.
What Is ADHD?
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurological condition that affects attention, organization, impulse control, and other executive functions. It’s not about laziness or lack of willpower — it’s about how the brain processes information and regulates behavior.
While it’s often diagnosed in childhood, many adults discover they have ADHD later in life, especially when demands at work or home increase.
Common signs in adults can include:
Difficulty staying focused
Trouble finishing projects
Forgetting appointments or deadlines
Feeling restless or easily overwhelmed
