Adult ADHD-Focused Couple Therapy™
Professional Endorsements
Preeminent leaders in Adult ADHD and couple therapy endorse our work

Harville Hendrix, PhD
Renown expert in couple therapy
Author of:
Getting the Love You Want and
Making Marriage Simple
First came cutting-edge theory in Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.?, shining light in the darkness for couples living with the amazing complications of one or both partners having ADHD.
Now comes a luminous clinical guide for Adult ADHD-Focused Couple Therapy™—helping therapists identify the essential elements of the therapeutic process for successful outcome, including therapy models ranging from medications to cognitive-behavioral to couples therapy.
The thoroughness and clarity of the theory and therapy, and the voluminous sources and research citations, make these two books a seminal contribution to the field.

Russell Barkley, Ph.D.
Renown expert in ADHD
Author of:
ADHD and the Nature of Self-Control and Taking Charge of Adult ADHD
From the Foreword: Until now, no books existed that combined both a scientific understanding of adult ADHD with pragmatic recommendations to guide these adults and their partners in coping and problem-solving.
Gina Pera’s book [Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.?] does so with an admirable balance of current scientific information mixed with sage advice and wise, practical strategies based on the current science.
There is no better book now that addresses such relationship difficulties and with such sensitivity to the complex issues inherent in them.
Thank you, Gina, for writing such a useful book.

We are Gina Pera and Arthur L. Robin, PhD, co-authors of the first empirically informed clinical guide for helping ADHD-challenged couples: Adult ADHD-Focused Couple Therapy: Clinical Interventions (Routledge, 2016).
Between us, we have authored seven highly regarded books on ADHD—and bring 50 years combined experience.
We are the recognized world leaders in ADHD and relationships.
Gina created and delivers this training, based in part on the model she and Dr. Robin created with Adult ADHD-Focused Couple Therapy.

We created these courses to benefit:
- Individuals with ADHD
- Loved ones of adults with ADHD (spouses and intimate partners, parents, siblings, children, friends, etc.)
- ADHD-challenged couples
- Professionals seeking to help the ADHD community (therapists, psychiatrists, coaches, personal organizers—even accountants and others)
Course 1 launched July 2021 and is now a battle-tested life-changer.
This course is foundational. You might find it's all you need. It provides a comprehensive education on Adult ADHD and guides you in personalizing this variable syndrome to your experience.
You'll also gain an overview of the other three Essential Puzzle Pieces.
You'll find more in-depth help in the three other essential Puzzle Pieces:
Course 2: Physical Strategies - Medication and Sleep (Available now) Sadly, we cannot always count on physicians to truly understand the complexity—and the needs of individuals.
Course 3: Practical Skills & Supports for Executive Functions (est. Summer 2023)
Course 4: Psychological Tools - A CBT model for ADHD couple therapy (Fall 2023)
No.
Previously, we offered a book-study test bringing 15 continuing education hours via The National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC).
Gina Pera and Arthur L. Robin, PhD, were approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider
Ultimately, the response from therapists was not robust enough to continue the effort.
Professionals who learn our approach stand to gain much more than CE hours.
