ADHD Therapy for Adults Across New York State
I’m Kristie Tse, a licensed mental health counselor, and I founded Uncover Mental Health Counseling specifically for high-achieving adults who couldn’t find a therapist who understood both the performance pressure and the cultural dimensions of their lives.
At Uncover Mental Health Counseling, every session is by video with a licensed New York therapist, so you can show up from your couch, your desk, or any quiet spot for 45 minutes.
We know how it goes here your calendar is packed, the commute eats your evening, and therapy keeps sliding to “next month.” Online therapy takes the commute out. For most people, that’s the difference between starting and not starting.
We’re out-of-network, which means you pay at the session and we give you a superbill to send to your insurance. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, you may get part of the cost back, and we’ll check your benefits for you. The first step is a free 15-minute call

Online Support for Adults and High Achievers
Many of the adults who find us were never flagged as having a problem. They were the capable ones, the ones who got the grades and the promotions by working harder than anyone knew. Then the workload grew, the deadlines stacked, and the effort it took to hold everything together stopped being sustainable. That pattern is common with ADHD in adults, and it is often missed for years.
ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition involving inattention, impulsivity, and sometimes hyperactivity. In adults it tends to show up as trouble starting tasks, losing track of time, forgetting commitments, and emotions that run hotter than the situation calls for. ADHD often occurs alongside anxiety and depression, which is one reason it gets mistaken for them.
At Uncover Mental Health Counseling, our ADHD therapy for adults is delivered online to clients in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and anywhere in New York State. We use cognitive behavioral therapy and practical skill-building to help you manage attention, plan realistically, and stop treating every missed deadline as proof something is wrong with you.
Evidence-Based Therapy for Lasting Change
Our therapists in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island use approaches that actually work — stuff backed by research, not just theory.
We pick methods that fit your life, not the other way around. For high-achieving professionals, that means practical tools you can actually use, in real situations, to feel better and make real changes.
Signs of ADHD in Adults
ADHD in adults rarely looks like the childhood picture. Common signs include:
- Starting is the hard part, even for tasks you care about
- Losing time: “five minutes” becomes an hour, or you’re chronically late
- Forgetting appointments, bills, replies, or where you put things
- Restlessness that shows up as racing thoughts or fidgeting rather than bouncing off walls
- Strong reactions to criticism or small setbacks, then guilt about the reaction
- Doing your best work at the last minute because pressure is the only thing that works
- Being exhausted by the effort of looking organized
These patterns are only worth looking into when they’re long-standing and affect more than one part of your life, such as work and home. Everyone has off weeks. If this sounds like you, a good next step is a conversation with a licensed clinician. The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale from the World Health Organization, offered by ADDA, is a free screening questionnaire, though it can’t diagnose you. See also signs of ADHD in high-achieving women
