Therapist in Petaluma, Sonoma County

ADHD is not limited to childhood—many adults are looking for ADHD therapy in Sonoma County and Marin County because they are struggling with attention, organization, and emotional regulation well into adulthood. As a psychologist in Petaluma, I work with adults seeking effective treatment for ADHD symptoms that interfere with work, relationships, and daily responsibilities. Neurofeedback offers a powerful method to help adults retrain their brains and strengthen executive functioning. This brain-based approach has become an important tool for many individuals working with a Sonoma County therapist.

Adults often seek neurofeedback after years of feeling overwhelmed or frustrated by their ADHD symptoms. More and more, many clients looking for psychotherapy in San Rafael, Novato, and Santa Rosa commute to my office in Petaluma because they want a treatment option that addresses the neurological roots of inattention and impulsivity. Neurofeedback helps regulate brainwave patterns that underlie focus, planning, and emotional control. Over time, adults gain greater stability and clarity in their daily routines.

Psychotherapy plays an important role in helping adults explore how ADHD has impacted their self-esteem, relationships, and coping strategies. But neurofeedback improves the brain’s ability to manage distractions, regulate impulses, and sustain attention. When the brain becomes more organized, adults find it easier to implement the skills learned in Therapy.

Adults with ADHD often experience Anxiety, Depression, or Trauma-related symptoms as well. When the brain struggles with executive functioning, emotional regulation becomes more difficult. Neurofeedback helps reduce stress reactivity and supports healthier emotional responses by encouraging more balanced brainwave patterns.

Many adults notice improvements in productivity, problem-solving, and follow-through after consistent neurofeedback sessions. This often leads to better performance at work, improved relationship dynamics, and greater confidence in handling complex tasks. Over time, adults develop stronger internal organization and emotional resilience.

Biofeedback can further support adults with ADHD by teaching body-based regulation skills. Increased awareness of breathing, tension, and heart-rate variability helps adults manage stress more effectively. This supports both emotional balance and attention control.

Neurofeedback is especially beneficial for adults who have not responded fully to medication or who prefer a non-pharmaceutical option. It offers a long-term solution by helping the brain develop more efficient patterns rather than simply masking symptoms. When combined with Psychotherapy, neurofeedback becomes a powerful tool for growth.
