ADHD Counseling for Peak Life Performance

ADHD can be very disruptive to school, work, and family functioning. Therapy for ADHD includes accurately identifying ADHD symptoms and how they are presenting in your or your child’s life, increasing understanding of how ADHD brains work differently, and customizing organization and focus techniques for your lifestyle.

Our expertise in helping those with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder includes both therapy and evaluation. ADHD can present in similar ways as many other mental health difficulties. Through evaluation, we can help discern if the difficulties you or your child are experiencing are related to ADHD, another mental health disorder, a combination, or are normal difficulties. As part of the evaluation process, you will receive a report you can use for an IEP meeting, to request accommodations at your place of employment, or to bring to your medication prescriber. Should you find it helpful, we are happy to accompany you to any of these meetings to advocate for and with you.

It is common to incorporate family members in therapy to better reinforce new strategies and routines. Especially for children with ADHD.

Because many people with ADHD also experience thoughts that contribute to depression and anxiety, we check for those as well and use Cognitive Behavior Therapy to address them.
