ADHD & Neurodivergence Therapy in Oakland, California | Grounded Therapy



Online ADHD & Neurodivergence therapy · Oakland, California

ADHD therapy that works with your brain, not against it.

Doctoral-level (PhD/PsyD) psychologists treating adhd & neurodivergence for people
in Oakland and across the East Bay — online, in-network, and usually with no waitlist. From the hills to the flats, you can meet with your psychologist from home instead of crossing the East Bay for it.

Is this you?

The gap between how capable you are and how hard everything feels. The missed deadlines, the time blindness, the shame spiral that follows. Whether you're diagnosed or just recognizing the pattern, the point isn't to "try harder" — it's to build systems that fit how your brain actually runs.

ADHD & Neurodivergence therapy, explained.

ADHD and neurodivergence aren't willpower problems, and the fix isn't more self-discipline. Our psychologists take a neurodivergent-affirming, skills-based approach: externalizing systems for time, task, and follow-through; CBT-informed work on the anxiety, depression, and self-criticism that so often ride alongside ADHD; and space to unmask if you've spent your life performing "normal." We work with adults who were diagnosed at 8 and adults realizing it at 38.

For Oakland

ADHD & Neurodivergence therapy in Oakland.

Oakland is proudly its own place — diverse, creative, and navigating fast change and cost-of-living pressure that wears on people quietly.

You can meet your psychologist from home instead of crossing the East Bay for it — and pick from every California-licensed clinician, not only the few nearby. Every one of our
psychologists is licensed in California and sees clients across Alameda County — Rockridge, Temescal, Fruitvale, and the neighborhoods from the hills to the flats —
by secure video. Where you are in Oakland decides the view out your window during session, not whether
you can get adhd & neurodivergence care.

What adhd & neurodivergence therapy here looks like.

  • Concrete, externalized systems for time, task-switching, and follow-through
  • Neurodivergent-affirming work — building on how your brain runs, not shaming it
  • Treatment for the anxiety, depression, or self-criticism that often travels with ADHD

Common questions

Things people ask before booking.

Do you have a therapy office in Oakland?No — Grounded Therapy is fully online. All of our psychologists are licensed in California and see clients throughout the state by secure video, including everyone in Oakland and Alameda County. That's the advantage: no commute, no waiting room, and no being limited to whoever happens to have an office near you.
Is online ADHD therapy as effective as in person?For the conditions we treat, the research says yes — teletherapy shows outcomes comparable to in-person care, and many clients find it easier to stay consistent when there's no drive involved. The treatment itself is the same evidence-based work; only the room changes.
Do you take my insurance?Many of our providers are in-network with major plans, and we verify your exact benefits and copay for you before your first session, at no cost. See Insurance & Rates for which providers accept which plans.
How soon can I start?Often within a week. Several of our psychologists are actively accepting new Oakland-area clients — book a free 15-minute consult and we'll match you with someone who fits.
