The Connection Between Executive Function and Mental Health

Struggle to stay on top of tasks, at work, school, or home? Find yourself easily distracted or procrastinating during times when you’d like to be productive? Have a hard time managing your time and staying organized? Did you know that these day-to-day challenges are often related to mental health challenges?

Something that many people don’t realize is that challenges with ADHD or executive function often contribute to mental health issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. This occurs when we grapple to understand why we behave and struggle in certain ways and why “simple” tasks seem to be harder for us than for others. In therapy, you can learn to better understand who you are, improve executive function skills, and begin making more informed and empowering choices, which can increase self-esteem and reduce anxiety, stress, and depression.

Benefits of Executive Function Support

The benefit of working with a therapist on executive functioning is that we understand how anxiety, stress, and other emotional issues impact our ability to manage our day-to-day, manage relationships, and vice versa.

We treat you as the whole person you are and use a holistic approach to make connections between mental health and your ability to perform these functions. Our integrative process will help you understand how these challenges can impact one another, allowing you to address and see improvements in both areas simultaneously.
