Mental health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Susan Blumberg. On air from June 16th
Adult women with ADHD frequently experience delayed diagnosis due to internalizing symptoms like inattentiveness, emotional dysregulation, and heavy masking. Special considerations for women include hormonal impacts on medication efficacy, higher rates of comorbid anxiety and mood disorders, and a significant risk of burnout from compensating for executive dysfunction, either at work or home, or both.
Women often don’t get diagnosed until their children are diagnosed and they recognize their symptoms, they begin to experience difficulties at work, or treatment of their misdiagnosis of depression or anxiety stops working.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, life coaching focused on executive functioning and communication skills, support groups, and targeted medication management are all effective interventions.

I’m a married mother of two young adult, twice-exceptional children. I’ve lived in Colorado for over 40 years, but I still think of myself as a New Yorker!
My background in cognitive behavioral therapy informs my work as a life coach, as I help people set goals, plan their journey, and achieve success. I worked as a licensed clinical psychologist for over 20 years, in mental health agencies, in private practice, and for the federal government overseeing child welfare and adoption services in the Rocky Mountain region. This has given me a solid and varied background, and extensive level of experience.
Working as a special education advocate for 40 years means I have honed my skills as a negotiator, my ability to collaborate, and my understanding of being a team member. I always put your child first. I have training from the Arc, Wrightslaw, and I was a member of COPAA, the Council Of Parent Attorneys and Advocates. I have sat on both sides of the IEP table, as a professional and a parent, which gives me an unique perspective. Though I am not currrently taking new clients, I am available for consultation as needed.
I am also the coauthor of multiple books, including Fighting for Your Marriage (2010, Markman, Stanley & Blumberg), 12 Hours to a Great Marriage (2003, Markman, Stanley & Blumberg) and Parenting a Child with Sensory Processing Disorder: a family guide to understanding and supporting your sensory-sensitive child (2006, Auer & Blumberg).
