ADHD Evaluation
for Asian American adults who are seeking diagnosis
You’ve spent your whole life masking — blending in, overachieving, pushing through. No one ever suspected ADHD because you were “the quiet one,” “the gifted one,” or “the one who never caused trouble.” But beneath the surface, there’s chronic overwhelm, emotional burnout, and a constant fear of failure or rejection.
For many Asian Americans, ADHD doesn’t show up the way textbooks describe. Instead, it hides behind anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. Our evaluations are designed to see through the mask — affirming your identities, honoring your cultural context, and finally giving language to what you’ve always felt but never had permission to name.
ADHD Coaching for Asian American & Neurodivergent Clients
It’s Not About Trying Harder — It’s About Healing Smarter
You’ve probably been told your whole life that you just need to be more disciplined, more organized, more on top of things.
You’ve internalized it — the shame of missed deadlines, forgotten texts, unfinished projects, or a to-do list that feels more like a guilt list.
And still, you push harder, mask better, and hide the exhaustion that no one else seems to see.
But here’s the truth:
You’re not lazy. You’re not a failed version of “productive.”
You’re likely brilliant, creative, intuitive — and burned out from trying to function in a world that wasn’t built for your brain — masking your way through life to blend in and to feel accepted.
That’s where ADHD coaching comes in. Not to “fix” you — but to support, empower, and gently rewire how you relate to time, tasks, and self-worth.
The Hidden Struggles of ADHD in Asian American Lives
In Asian and Asian American families, ADHD often goes unrecognized or misunderstood. You might’ve been the high-achieving kid who looked fine on the outside but constantly felt like you were drowning inside.
Maybe your ADHD doesn’t look like hyperactivity — it looks like:
Chronic procrastination driven by fear, not laziness
Overworking to compensate for executive dysfunction
Perfectionism that turns every task into a high-stakes performance
Emotional dysregulation, shame spirals, or rejection sensitivity
Masking so well that no one sees how hard it really is
Feeling like you're never quite enough — no matter how much you do
You were taught to try harder, work longer, or suppress your needs.
But no one taught you how to rest, how to work with your brain, or how to build systems that feel supportive — not suffocating.
What ADHD Coaching Offers You
Coaching isn’t about becoming a productivity machine. It’s about helping you feel less overwhelmed, less alone, and more in charge of your time, energy, and inner narrative.
My approach to ADHD coaching is:
Culturally Affirming
I honor how culture, family expectations, and intergenerational narratives shape the way we relate to focus, rest, and success. We make space for your identities — not push them aside for the sake of performance. While honoring your identity, ADHD coaching helps you differentiate from what your family, our society, and our culture have told you to be and and support all of your identities, challenges, and success.
Strengths-Based & Trauma-Informed
We don’t shame the parts of you that struggle. We build from what already works. Together, we uncover the hidden strengths behind your “symptoms” — sensitivity, creativity, adaptability, insight — and learn to lead with them.
Stress-Reducing, Not Shame-Inducing
We explore how to reframe your relationship to tasks, redefine productivity, and release perfectionism. You’ll learn how to plan and prioritize in ways that actually reduce stress instead of adding more.
Coaching That Rewires, Gently
We work with your nervous system, not against it. That means using neuroscience-backed strategies to regulate emotion, anchor into clarity, and build systems of accountability that are kind, not punishing.
What Happens After Therapy?
Therapy helps you explore your past and heal old wounds.
ADHD coaching helps you build the future you’ve been craving — one where your day doesn’t spiral the moment something feels hard, where your tasks feel doable, and where your self-worth isn’t measured by your productivity.
In ADHD coaching, we focus on:
Designing sustainable systems and routines
Task initiation, follow-through, and managing overwhelm
Emotion regulation and transitions
Time blindness and scheduling support
Self-trust, self-compassion, and unlearning the inner critic
Building a lifestyle that works with your brain, not against it
Together, we’ll move from “Why can’t I just do it?” to “This is how I work best.”
Ready to Feel Less Overwhelmed?
ADHD coaching is available virtually for adults who live anywhere in the world as well as all U.S. residents (including students, creatives, professionals, and parents) who want to move from survival mode to intentional living.
Let’s build a system that honors your brain and your story.
