Sue E. Rapp

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Vestal, NY


As an adult with ADHD, chances are you deal with emotional overwhelm and chronic self criticism-maybe even more than disorganization and distraction. My focus in treatment typically includes practical strategies, emotion regulation, insight-oriented work, and skill-building tailored to real-life demands. Clients can expect improved focus, steadier emotions, stronger boundaries, and greater confidence in daily life.

As an adult ADHD therapist with over 35 years of experience, I specialize in helping neurodivergent adults tackle the daily challenges that feel overwhelming, such as: Starting tasks when you don’t know where to begin Keeping track of deadlines Following through on projects Handling intense emotions and rejection sensitivity Decision-making Routine building

ADHD isn’t just about getting things done—it also impacts how you see yourself and your place in the world. In our work together, we will address the deeper emotional and identity challenges that come with ADHD. Together, we’ll build personalized systems that actually work for your brain while also creating space for reflection and growth.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ithaca

Searching for therapists in Ithaca starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to address. People often look for therapy in Ithaca for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look at the specialties and approaches listed in their profiles, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s bio can help you understand who they support, how they structure sessions, and what working together may be like.

Ithaca is a smaller city, so local in-person appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New York while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, focus areas, and session format in one place.

Therapy in Ithaca can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
