Online Group Therapy for ADHD — Available Throughout California

You don't have to figure this out alone.

Individual therapy does deep work. But there's something it can't give you — a room full of people who actually get it.

ADHD group therapy at Brilla is where you stop performing and start connecting. Our online groups are available to anyone in California — whether you're in Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, or anywhere in between. You don't need to be local. You just need to be ready.

Every group is structured, therapist-led, and focused on building real skills — not just talking about feelings. You'll leave each session with strategies you can use that week, alongside the experience of being around people who don't need you to explain why you forgot, why you're late, or why you can't "just start."

What We Work On in Our ADHD Groups

Our online group therapy sessions start with what's on your mind — not a script. Your therapist holds the space, guides the conversation, and brings in tools and teaching as they fit. These aren't casual support groups. They're clinical group therapy led by licensed ADHD specialists who know how to make sure everyone gets heard and everyone leaves with something they can use.

Executive functioning. Planning, prioritizing, and actually following through. We work on the gap between knowing what to do and doing it — the gap that people without ADHD don't understand.

Procrastination. Not the "you're lazy" version. The real version — where your brain won't start the thing even though you want to, and the shame spiral that follows. We break down the motivation-to-action gap and build sustainable strategies that work with your ADHD brain.

Relationships and communication. How ADHD shows up in your closest relationships, and how to set boundaries and communicate needs without over-explaining or shutting down. This applies whether you're the one with ADHD or the one loving someone with it.

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). That gut-punch feeling when you think someone is disappointed in you. RSD is one of the most painful and least talked-about parts of living with ADHD. We build emotional resilience and self-compassion around it.

Emotional regulation. The intensity, the crashes, the "why am I crying about this" moments. We normalize it and give you tools that actually work with your nervous system — not against it.

Our Online ADHD Groups

All groups are 90 minutes, held online via secure video, and available to anyone located in California. We keep groups small so everyone gets heard. Each group is led by a licensed Brilla therapist with specialized ADHD training.

Online Group Therapy for Women with ADHD

The masking. The mental load. The late diagnosis. The constant feeling of being "too much" and "not enough" at the same time.

This online ADHD group is for women who are tired of performing neurotypical and ready to be in a room — even a virtual one — where they don't have to. Sessions are expert-led and focused on practical strategies alongside the kind of connection that only comes from shared lived experience. We cover executive functioning, emotional regulation, navigating relationships and careers, and building identity as a woman with ADHD.

Women across California join this group — from the Bay Area to Southern California to the Central Valley. If you've never been around other women who think like you, this group will change something.

Online Group Therapy for Parents of Neurodivergent Kids

Most parenting advice wasn't written for your family. When your kid has ADHD — or when you do, or both — the standard playbook doesn't apply, and the guilt of feeling like you're doing it wrong is relentless.

This online group gives parents throughout California evidence-based strategies for communication, behavior management, and reducing conflict at home. But just as importantly, it gives you a room full of other parents navigating the same thing — people who won't judge you for losing your patience or forgetting the permission slip again. Led by a Brilla therapist with expertise in ADHD family dynamics.

Whether you're a parent in Sacramento dealing with school-related stress or a parent in Los Angeles managing a newly diagnosed teen, this group meets you where you are.

Online Group Therapy for Partners of Adults with ADHD

Loving someone with ADHD comes with specific relationship dynamics that most couples resources don't touch. The uneven division of labor. The feeling of being a parent instead of a partner. The frustration that lives alongside the love.

This online group is for partners anywhere in California who want to understand how ADHD shows up in their relationship, find strategies that actually help, and hear from other people in the same situation. It's therapist-facilitated, judgment-free, and focused on giving you tools — not just a place to vent.

Why Online ADHD Group Therapy Works

Individual therapy gives you depth. Group therapy gives you something else — the experience of being understood without having to explain yourself. For people with ADHD who have spent their whole lives translating their experience for neurotypical people, that's not a small thing.

In group, you hear someone describe your exact inner experience using words you never had. You watch someone else try a strategy and succeed, and you think "if they can, maybe I can." You stop believing you're the only one who struggles with this.

Your group grows together — and you get to know people across California who share eerily similar life histories to yours. Online is our preferred and only format for groups, and that's by design. Even if everyone lived in Sacramento, we'd still run groups this way. It fits better into a weekday rhythm, removes the barrier of commuting, and creates the kind of structure, safety, and reliability that makes people actually show up — week after week.

That's not something a workbook or a Reddit thread can give you.

How Our Online ADHD Groups Work

Format: 90-minute sessions held online via secure, HIPAA-compliant video. No need to commute — join from anywhere in California.

Who can join: Anyone located in California. Our groups serve clients across the state, from Sacramento and the Bay Area to Los Angeles, San Diego, and everywhere in between.

Group size: Small — enough people for real connection, few enough that everyone gets heard.

Led by: Licensed Brilla therapists with specialized training in ADHD and neurodivergence. This is clinical group therapy, not a peer support group.

Structure: Therapist-led with a focus each session. Your therapist brings the framework and the learning — you bring what's real for you that week. It's structured enough to build skills over time, flexible enough to meet you where you actually are.

Neurodivergent-affirming: We don't treat ADHD as a disorder to manage. We treat it as a different way of thinking that deserves understanding, accommodation, and respect.

Who Our Online ADHD Groups Are For

Our group therapy is for anyone in California navigating ADHD — whether you were diagnosed last month or have known for years. People join our online ADHD groups because:

They've been in individual therapy and want the added benefit of peer connection and accountability.

They were recently diagnosed with ADHD and want to understand themselves alongside others who get it.

They're a woman with ADHD who is exhausted by masking and ready for a space that doesn't require it.

They're parenting a neurodivergent child and need strategies and support from people who understand.

They're in a relationship with someone with ADHD and need tools — not just patience.

They live somewhere in California where there aren't ADHD specialists nearby, and online group therapy gives them access they wouldn't otherwise have.

FAQ Section

Is online ADHD group therapy effective? Yes. Group therapy builds something individual therapy can't — the experience of being in a room with people who get it without you having to explain. That alone reduces isolation and shame, which are two of the biggest barriers to progress for people with ADHD. Add a skilled ADHD therapist guiding the conversation and bringing in real tools, and you get something that sticks.

Can I join Brilla's ADHD group therapy from anywhere in California? Yes. All of our groups are held online and available to anyone in California. We run groups this way on purpose — it fits better into people's lives, removes the commute barrier, and means your group isn't limited to whoever happens to live nearby. We have members from Sacramento, the Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, and everywhere in between.

What's the difference between group therapy and a support group? Our groups are clinical group therapy, not peer support groups. They're led by a licensed therapist with specialized ADHD training who actively guides the session, brings in tools and psychoeducation, and makes sure everyone gets space. You'll talk about what's real for you that week — and leave with something you can actually use. It's structured, but it's not scripted.

Do you offer ADHD group therapy for women? Yes. We offer a dedicated online group for women with ADHD that addresses the specific challenges women face — late diagnosis, masking, mental load, identity, and the intersection of ADHD with gender expectations.

Do you offer group therapy for parents of kids with ADHD? Yes. Our online parenting group provides evidence-based strategies for communication, behavior management, and reducing conflict — alongside peer support from other parents navigating neurodivergent family life.

How much does online ADHD group therapy cost? Contact us for current rates. We keep groups small and therapist-led, which means this is a clinical service — not a free support group. Visit our rates and insurance page for more details.
