ADHD, ANXIETY & LIFE TRANSITIONS | ONLINE THERAPY IN CA & NY
Maybe it's time for a different way forward.
You’ve put in the effort. You've tried to figure things out. Sometimes, what makes the difference isn't doing more of the same, but understanding what you need and finding a way that works for you.
AN APPROACH GROUNDED IN UNDERSTANDING
You've probably spent enough time being hard on yourself.
Maybe you've spent years wondering why certain things feel harder than they should. Perhaps you're struggling to manage expectations at work, finding yourself overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities, or noticing that stress and communication difficulties are affecting your relationships.
Therapy is an opportunity to better understand what's happening, make sense of the patterns you've developed, and build practical skills for navigating work, relationships, and daily life with greater confidence.
You deserve support that takes your experiences seriously and helps you make meaningful changes without so much self-criticism.
WAYS WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
Life doesn't always look the way you expected it to.
I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, work stress, relationship challenges, mood issues, and life's many transitions. Whether you're making sense of a recent diagnosis, struggling with communication, managing the demands of your career, or finding your footing in a new stage of life, therapy offers a place to better understand your experiences and develop practical ways forward.

Receiving an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood can change the way you understand much of your life. Challenges with attention, organization, time management, or following through on responsibilities may suddenly make more sense, along with years of frustration, self-criticism, anxiety, or depressed mood.
In therapy, we'll explore how ADHD has affected your experiences, relationships, mood, and sense of self. We'll also identify practical strategies for managing everyday responsibilities, address the shame that often accompanies a late diagnosis, and help you develop a more informed and compassionate understanding of how your brain works.

ADHD in women is often overlooked or misunderstood, particularly when symptoms have been masked by years of overcompensating, perfectionism, or carefully maintained routines. Pregnancy, postpartum changes, and the transition into motherhood can introduce new demands that make existing ADHD challenges more difficult to manage.
I work with women navigating ADHD alongside changing responsibilities, emotional overwhelm, depression, postpartum anxiety, and the adjustment to parenting. Together, we'll look at the specific challenges you're experiencing and develop realistic strategies for managing daily life while making room for your own needs.

Major life transitions can affect your routines, relationships, identity, and sense of stability. Becoming a parent, in particular, often brings unexpected emotional and practical challenges, even when it's a change you've been looking forward to.
Therapy can help you navigate the adjustment to parenthood, relationship changes, new responsibilities, and the anxiety or uncertainty that sometimes accompanies significant life events. We'll explore how these changes are affecting you, identify what support you need, and work toward finding a more comfortable footing in this new stage of life.
-
Executive functioning difficulties can make everyday tasks feel disproportionately demanding. You may struggle with getting started, managing time, staying organized, remembering responsibilities, or following through on plans, even when you genuinely want to accomplish them.
My approach to executive functioning focuses on understanding the barriers behind these challenges rather than relying on willpower alone. Through practical ADHD strategies, organizational skills, and individualized problem-solving, we'll work on creating routines and systems that fit your needs, including during periods of change or adjustment.
-
College brings new responsibilities, relationships, academic pressures, and expectations around independence. For students navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, executive functioning difficulties, or the transition into adulthood, therapy offers a space to understand what's getting in the way and develop strategies for managing school, relationships, and everyday life.
-
Anxiety can make everyday decisions, relationships, and responsibilities feel more difficult than they need to be. Whether you're navigating persistent worry, panic, intrusive thoughts, or fears that interfere with your daily life, we'll work to understand what's maintaining those patterns and develop practical, evidence-based strategies to help you respond differently. We’ll also address commonly co-occurring challenges, such as depression and trauma.

Wondering whether ADHD might explain some of the challenges you've experienced with attention, organization, or everyday responsibilities? My adult ADHD assessments offer a thoughtful, individualized process to help you better understand what's going on.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE PRACTICE
Hi, I'm Dr. Ruth Glass.
I'm a licensed psychologist specializing in ADHD, anxiety, and life transitions.
My approach combines evidence-based treatment with thoughtful conversation, practical tools, and genuine compassion. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable being honest about what's difficult, without worrying about being judged.
We'll work collaboratively to understand your concerns, identify meaningful goals, and develop strategies that make sense for your life.
PRACTICAL TOOLS, THOUGHTFUL CARE
There's more to change than willpower.
Meaningful change takes effort, but effort alone isn't always enough.
Together, we'll explore what's getting in the way, identify the patterns, expectations, and practical barriers affecting your everyday life, and develop strategies that make things more manageable.
My work draws from CBT, DBT, ACT, and ERP, combining evidence-based strategies with an approach that is collaborative, compassionate, and free of judgment.
