01 / ADHD work is my passion

ADHD Therapy in Iowa City

You have probably been told you are smart and inconsistent for most of your life. Trying harder has been the advice every time, and it has not held. The work here starts with understanding how your attention operates, then building a life that stops fighting it.

02 / recognition

Some of this will sound familiar


You can focus for nine hours on something that grips you, and not for nine minutes on something that does not.


The task you have been avoiding takes five minutes once you start it.


You have systems. You have had many systems in the past. None of them survived contact with a bad week.


People read your distraction as not caring, and you’ve stopped correcting them.


You are tired in a way that sleep doesn’t fix.


To recognize ourselves in a struggling state is acceptance that it's real, and also, that it can change...

03 / the work

What we do, in order


01

Map the pattern

Where attention goes, where it does not, and what it costs you. We look at the actual week you had rather than the one you meant to have.


02

Separate the ADHD from the shame

Most adults arrive carrying twenty or more years of being told they were lazy, that they did not try hard enough, or that they wasted their potential. Untangling the trait from the result is usually where the relief can begin.


03

Build around how you work

Structures that hold on a bad week as well as a good one. We test them between sessions and keep what works. We build your success week after week.

04 / who you would be working with

Tyler J. Jensen, LMHC, LCMHC

I'm a trauma-informed therapist licensed in Iowa and North Carolina. Trauma-focused training in EMDR, NARM, DBT, and Ego-State Therapy. I also specialize in working with ADHD adults.

05 / The logistics

What it costs and how long it takes

No insurance billing, which means no diagnosis is required on a claim form to get help, and no third party gets to decide how many sessions you deserve. A Good Faith Estimate can be provided under the No Surprises Act before we begin any clinical work, so always feel welcome to ask.
