You’re doing everything you can but still feel like you’re falling behind.
Therapy for adults navigating ADHD patterns, anxiety, burnout, and overwhelm in Texas
From the outside, it may look like you’re functioning just fine.
You show up to work, manage responsibilities, and keep things moving. But internally, everyday tasks feel harder than they should. Getting started takes more energy than it seems to for others. Your mind jumps between too many thoughts, while important things still get left undone.
Many of the people I work with come in describing anxiety, stress, or burnout. Others feel frustrated with themselves for not following through, staying organized, or keeping up with daily life. What’s often missed is that these struggles aren’t about effort or motivation - they’re about how your brain processes information, emotion, and demand.
That’s where therapy can help bring clarity.
Does this sound like you?

You may call this anxiety, burnout, or stress.
You may wonder if this is just how you are.
But these patterns usually have a clearer explanation and more workable solutions than you’ve been given so far.
Life doesn’t have to stay this way
When the right supports are in place, things begin to feel more manageable and less heavy. Therapy can help you understand why these patterns keep showing up and give you practical ways to work with your brain instead of fighting it.
With the right approach, clients often begin to experience:
Progress doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from understanding what’s actually getting in the way.
Hi, I'm Ann Marie Leist.
I’m a licensed psychologist with extensive experience working with both adults and children. Over the years, I’ve completed thousands of psychological evaluations and provided therapy across private practice, hospital, and organizational settings.
What matters most to me is helping people understand how their brain works and why certain patterns keep repeating – especially when effort alone hasn’t been enough to create change. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Therapy is adapted to the person in front of me, their goals, and the realities of their daily life.
My work blends clinical expertise with practical problem-solving, so sessions feel focused, supportive, and useful – not vague or open-ended.
