Feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of ADHD? We offer compassionate support and evidence-based techniques tailored to each individual’s unique needs, from childhood through adulthood.
Individuals experiencing the common challenges of ADHD, including difficulty focusing, impulsivity, and relationship strain, can often find relief and develop valuable coping skills through focused therapeutic approaches.
Even though they might have a strong desire to finish a project, someone with ADHD could find themselves jumping from task to task, leaving a trail of unfinished work in their wake.
A further prevalent challenge involves a clear difficulty with organization and responsibility management, often leading to missed appointments, misplaced belongings, or difficulty adhering to deadlines, causing frustration and stress for themselves and others as they navigate multiple commitments.
Regardless of your struggles, you may be considering that it’s time to talk to a therapist.
ADHD affects an estimated 3-8% of children and 4-5% of adults, as reported by the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies. Research suggests a strong genetic component, with heredity potentially explaining 65-75% of cases. Human brains exhibit diverse developmental and functional patterns, with neurotypical development representing the most common trajectory. However, some individuals are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD. The neurodivergent ADHD brain presents a complex interplay of challenges and strengths. Common difficulties include impulsivity, inattention, and memory lapses. Conversely, individuals with ADHD often demonstrate exceptional intelligence and inherent artistic abilities, which can compensate for these challenges.
Neurodivergent minds often face a unique struggle with impulse control, where urges can easily derail focus and productivity. Resisting distractions and making future-oriented choices, like studying or interview prep, can feel incredibly difficult. ADHD therapy provides a supportive space to develop strategies for managing these impulses and navigating daily challenges. Our ADD and ADHD counseling services, available for pre-teens through adults, focus on cultivating mindfulness, prioritizing attention, and building motivation for demanding tasks. Through a collaborative, judgment-free therapeutic relationship, individuals can explore their boundaries, establish realistic goals, and gain self-awareness regarding their impulses and behaviors, ultimately working towards positive change.
ADHD therapy offers a collaborative path toward understanding and managing your unique experiences. We’ll begin by exploring your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and physical sensations to empower you in making positive choices. Together, we’ll define your treatment goals, aligning them with your long-term aspirations and values. Through evidence-based techniques like mindfulness, which cultivates present-moment awareness and focused attention, you’ll learn to navigate distractions and intentionally direct your focus. We may also integrate CBT to address unhelpful thought patterns and DBT to develop practical life skills, such as overcoming procrastination and building distress tolerance. Recognizing the inherent strengths that accompany neurodiversity, we’ll work together to harness your unique abilities and empower you to achieve your full potential.
Finding the right path to manage ADHD can be a journey. We understand that previous therapy experiences may not have fully addressed your unique challenges. Our approach prioritizes personalized care, adapting evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to fit your individual pace and goals. We value your insights and will collaborate with you, exploring past experiences to ensure your current treatment is as effective and supportive as possible.
Our approach to ADHD therapy is not about long-term dependence. We aim to empower you with the skills and support you need to achieve your specific goals, facilitating real-world progress. Treatment is designed to be a focused, collaborative journey, concluding naturally once those goals are reached and sustained.
We understand that maintaining focus can be challenging, whether for you or your child. While we offer both virtual and in-person ADHD treatment, our experience shows that in-person sessions are especially beneficial, particularly for children. To support concentration, we tailor sessions to your individual needs, incorporating breaks for stretching, short walks, quick activities, or simply a change of topic. We prioritize your comfort and comprehension, ensuring the pace of each session is right for you.
