With Tracy Douglas: Your GenX Therapist in Janesville, WI, and Online Across Wisconsin and Texas
ADHD is a gotdamn superpower and a gotdamn curse!
Y’all ADHD-ers are a seriously lovable bunch. Creative as HELL! So generous-hearted! And when you’re in your magic zone of focus, you are unstoppable!!!
And thennnnn, there are the times you zone out forgetting your wife’s birthday or an important deadline at work.
Your distractibility keeps you rushing from one task to another without finishing anything which, of course, then leads to you feeling like complete shite because YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT YOURSELF and wish with all your heart it were different.
And then deep in the deep down of yourself you are CONVINCED that everyone you love secretly hates you because you know you drive them crazy!
How about let’s slow your roll for a sec.
What say you about cultivating all that is absolutely wonderful about the way your brain works and providing excellent compassionate care to the qualities that can be more challenging? Doesn’t that sound lovely? It’s entirely possible with therapy.
Reach out today and discover how we can harness the formidable power of ADHD to bend to your will, creating stronger, more enjoyable relationship bonds and keeping you on the track of success.
ADHD isn’t just a bullshit buzzword du jour; it’s a daily reality that can make life awfully difficult. I know because I have people I love in my personal life who have ADHD and people I love as clients who have ADHD.
When I work with people who have ADHD, they’ve told me how much they get to benefit from my abundantly diverse life experiences in my careers an actor, writer, producer, high-profile entrepreneur, and mental health therapist.
With decades of experience under my belt, I’ve helped many people transform ADHD from a frustrating struggle into a superpower that fuels creativity and success.
I really understand the genuine curiosity ADHD-ers have and admire the passion they bring to life. My approach to treating ADHD is deeply personal and profoundly well-informed. I blend Emotionally Focused Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Hypnotherapy to tailor strategies that work specifically for you.
The time I’ve spent with Tracy has been transformative. I’ve had a handful of counselors through the years, and they all helped to some degree, yet I felt no different. I knew more about myself, but I didn’t feel different until I began working with Tracy.
To simply state my own journey, I’ve been looking to open a deeper emotional connection within myself and others. To stop being afraid and to reconcile the trauma and abuse I suffered in childhood. The progress I’ve made from being unable to mention or acknowledge what happened to being able to mention it here is proof of her amazing work. I would not be the person I am today without her, and I wonder if I would even be here to write this if not for her.
She’s exactly what her client needs when they need it. Whether that’s a by the book therapist one day to a friend to cry with the next, she adapts and innovates on the fly, only to the comfort level one can tolerate in the moment. What I do know is that I am always getting her best and the best care possible.
I could fill pages of praise, lines and lines of commendation, but the summary of it all would be that Tracy Douglas is a one in a million therapist. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracy with full confidence that she will help others with the same kindness and care she has provided not only to myself but countless others.
Tracy and I have worked together since 2013. I’ve been a School Psychologist in the Janesville School District for over 25 years. I’ve worked with Tracy when she worked in day treatment, a community outpatient mental health setting, and now in private practice. Tracy has been instrumental in supporting students to both improve their mental health and with providing excellent recommendations to our school professionals on how to support their mental wellbeing and educational success. I’ve referred many students to Tracy, specifically, as I know they will be provided the highest level of care.
Tracy is kind, compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and takes the time necessary to coordinate care in an effective manner. I’ve seen her make progress with children and adolescents with hom other community therapists were unable to.
She’s taken time to educate me on student’s mental health needs, when I’ve requested information. She’s advocated for her clients to obtain the support they need at home, in the community, and in the educational setting. She’s taught individuals skills they need to achieve their goals, regardless of, oftentimes, being in difficult circumstances.

You used to devour books in one sitting, but now you struggle to concentrate for even a short period, even on activities you once enjoyed. This difficulty focusing, even on things you love, can be a significant symptom of ADHD.
Exploring the root cause of your attention struggles with a therapist can empower you to reclaim your ability to fully engage with the world around you. Your own unique pathway to healing and fulfillment waits for you.
Typos and errors plague your work, despite your best efforts. Rushing or overlooking details might be to blame. Frequent careless mistakes can be a sign of inattention often present in ADHD. Understanding your attention patterns and developing focus strategies with a therapist can benefit your work and overall well-being.
You find it nearly impossible to stay still, constantly tapping your foot, doodling, or squirming in your seat. This restlessness and fidgeting can be a hallmark symptom of ADHD’s hyperactive-impulsive presentation. Discover the reasons behind your physical restlessness during therapy and find healthy outlets for this energy.
Your desk is a constant disaster zone, deadlines loom, and lost keys are an aggravating daily routine. These organizational struggles can be a core symptom of ADHD. Let therapy equip you with tools and strategies to manage your time, prioritize tasks, and finally tame the disorganization beast.
You blurt out witty remarks before anyone else has finished speaking, unintentionally interrupting conversations. This impulsivity can be another symptom of ADHD. Yearning for deeper connections? Therapy can help you develop communication skills that lead to better listening and more meaningful connections with friends, family, and colleagues.
Emails pile up unread, colleagues repeat instructions, and important details slip through the cracks. At work, distractibility can significantly impact your productivity and performance. But it doesn’t stop there.
Social interactions with friends and family can also become strained. You might miss punchlines in jokes, forget details about their lives, or struggle to maintain eye contact during conversations. This inability to focus can leave loved ones feeling unheard and unimportant.
Diminish distractibility with therapy to empower you to be more present at work and strengthen your connections with the people who matter most.
You have a veritable graveyard of unfinished projects and to-do lists that stretch a mile long. Difficulty completing tasks and starting/finishing projects is a classic struggle for people with ADHD. Feeling overwhelmed and stuck?
Therapy can help you develop strategies to break down tasks, manage procrastination, and achieve your goals.
Important deadlines loom, yet you find yourself scrolling through social media or tackling the least important task on your list. This procrastination can be a symptom of ADHD. Therapy can help provide solutions to the procrastination problem and develop strategies to help you overcome it and take control of your time.
The never-ending to-do list feels like a constant weight on your shoulders. Emails pile up, meetings blur together, and the feeling of accomplishment is terribly far off in the distance.
This sense of being overwhelmed by daily tasks can be a symptom of ADHD. It can manifest as difficulty prioritizing, planning your workload, and managing your time effectively. At work, this can lead to missed deadlines, frustration with colleagues, and a constant feeling of being behind.
In your personal life, it can translate to neglecting chores, canceling plans last minute, and feeling constantly stressed. Gain the techniques and experiences you need to prioritize your personal and professional workloads in therapy and finally conquer the feeling of being overwhelmed.
Daydreaming in class, blurting out answers, or getting in trouble for being disruptive – these childhood memories might hold the key to understanding your current struggles. Childhood symptoms can be a strong indicator of ADHD in adults. A therapist can help you integrate and overcome your past experiences which allows you the ability to develop strategies to manage your ADHD symptoms in the present.
ADHD often isn’t alone. Anxiety, depression, or substance abuse problems can frequently accompany it. These conditions can worsen each other, creating a complex web of challenges. Feeling overwhelmed by ADHD symptoms can trigger anxiety, while depression can make it difficult to focus on managing your ADHD.
Substance abuse might be a misguided attempt to self-medicate these underlying issues. A seasoned therapist can untangle these co-occurring conditions, develop a holistic treatment plan, and empower you create long lasting relief and achieve a greater sense of well-being.
Many people who experience ADHD also struggle with other mental health concerns, including:
