Summer can bring excitement—but it can also bring pressure to keep up with every invitation, event, and social expectation. For people with ADHD, that constant stimulation can quickly become overwhelming.
The best summer isn’t the busiest one—it’s the one that leaves you feeling energized instead of exhausted.

Save these five strategies for the next time social pressure starts to build, and remember: taking care of your mental health is always a worthwhile plan.

Too fast or too slow?

Everyone is different in their personal challenge.

Some people struggle to maintain their motivation during this time of year. Other struggle to appreciate rest and slowing down. Others bounced back-and-forth between each of these experience experiences.

Wherever you are at, know that you are not alone.

Just be honest with yourself about where you are and where you would like to be, and encourage yourself to make gentle shifts that will help you move in that direction.

I know for myself, today I wanted it to be a more productive day, but the world does not seem to be cooperating with me on that one so, instead, I am going to listen and embrace some slowness.

Look out the window, a little bit longer, sit in reflection, go get some water, and do whatever else I feel drawn to to nourish myself.

Where are you feeling drawn today?

Not every day is going to be a high capacity, high productivity day

Some days we are going to struggle to get going

Save these tips for these days where you are feeling, overwhelmed, having a hard time focusing, and having a hard time getting started.

Learning how to work with ourselves in our various states is extremely helpful, rather than fighting to always exist at the same level.

You’ve got this, we believe in you.

It can be easy to be really hard on ourselves when we are struggling to do the things.

Rather than given to that voice of self criticism and judgment, we hope that you will turn to compassion, checking in and regulation.

The calmer and more centered we are, the more capable we are to think clearly, come up with a plan, and execute.

Rather than a shove, give yourself a hug.

Give yourself a moment to go do something that nourishes you and come back to see if that has helped settle things.

Be kind to yourself and our actions will follow.

if you have ADHD and you’re noticing that summer’s can be particularly challenging, you are not alone.

Changes in temperature, routine, daylight hours, medication, neurotransmitters, and more can make this season feel differently than you would’ve hoped.

To navigate these summer symptoms, make sure that you are:

💦 hydrating

⏰ maintaining your core routines with sleep, meals, and movement

😌 taking time to destimulate and reduce sensory overwhelm

💊 talking with your healthcare provider about medication options and treatment

07/01/2026

To support you through the beginning of summer, this month, we are going to be talking about ADHD, addiction and navigating triggers and changes in routine, and the impact that this can have on mental health and well-being.

These are just two of the main areas that the therapist at our clinic work with. We also support those navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, relationship issues, as well as support for kids and youth.

We want you to know that we see you, we feel you and we’ve got your back today and always.

Here is your gentle reminder to slow things down.

I know the pace of summer can be quick and chaotic, but it is important to remember that pacing is optional.

We can choose to participate in the frenzy, or we can rebel and choose to slow things down.

Choosing to slow down, can leave us feeling mentally clearer,,, and increase our capacity to deal with life’s demands.

I am so grateful that this week every year I get to celebrate the two closest people in my life.

Does it sometimes feel like a lot of pressure to celebrate your two closest family members at once? Sure.

Would I trade it for anything? No way!

Celebrate the people you love and care about everyday. Express gratitude, happiness and appreciation for them. These moments are precious. They don’t all have to be perfect, just experienced.

I’ll be out of the office this week celebrating and enjoying the start of summer but our other therapists are seeing clients and available to help.

Enjoy the start of your summer too.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself before automatically say yes to an invitation or commitment.

These questions help us stay tuned to our present needs and reality, which is an important part of boundaries work.

In the past, I thought that being an introvert was a deep dark secret that I didn’t wanna share with people.

To be honest, I didn’t even know what an introvert was for a long time.

When I started learning, what an introvert was, that’s when I thought it was a deep dark secret. Something that made me weird and awkward.

Through my own learning, exploration, and the therapeutic journey I was able to see the strengths and the value of being an introvert.

In our latest podcast episode, I share all about this journey of exploration and provide more insight into what it actually means to be an introvert and what the strengths are of this personality type.

Whether you’re introverted yourself, curious to learn more about personality, and/or trying to understand someone that you care about in your life, this episode is for you!
