Therapy for ADHD

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

A space that’s steady, safe, and centered on helping you process what you’ve been carrying.

Because trauma doesn’t look the same for everyone and your therapy shouldn’t either.

How Therapy Helps You Manage ADHD

Not by trying to “fix” you but by helping you work with your brain, not against it.

You May Have Some Questions About ADHD Therapy…

Initially, we will help you understand your current emotions, thoughts, urges, behaviors, and physical experiences so you can better discern the most effective and beneficial choices to make. ADHD therapy is a collaborative process that identifies your goals for treatment, as well as your long-term goals and values. We will then teach you the skills that allow you to meet these goals so you can craft a life worth living. 

Mindfulness For ADHD 

With ADHD, it’s hard to focus on the present moment and sustain attention without becoming distracted, especially tuning out external stimuli when working on something that requires a lot of focus. Mindfulness helps you nonjudgmentally observe the present moment. Being able to notice what’s happening around you and how your mind is reacting to it is the first step to meeting your treatment goals. 

Mindfulness helps you choose what you want to attend to, catch your mind when it wanders—as all minds do—and then make the conscious choice to return your attention to whatever your task is. With time and practice in and out of sessions, this becomes easier to do.

Additionally, Attention Deficit Disorder counselingmay also incorporate other modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). While CBT helps you identify and challenge the common “thinking mistakes” that can get you stuck, DBT offers a variety of beneficial life skills for ADHD. For example, choosing to take the opposite action to what you feel compelled to do can help you break free from procrastination and distraction. DBT can also build up your distress tolerance so you can accept difficult situations you can’t change.

What makes the neurodivergent brain so unique is that you have been bestowed superpowers to compensate for whatever you struggle with, whether it’s impulsivity or becoming easily distracted. We feel confident that by practicing the skills learned in ADHD therapy and drawing upon your inherent strengths, you or your child can accomplish anything.

Many of our clients have tried other forms of therapy and determined they weren’t well-suited for meeting their goals. We tailor ADHD treatment to your needs and meet you where you are.  CBT and DBT are skills-based therapies that can be taught at your own pace. We can also discuss what did and did not work in previous ADHD therapy to help improve your experience.

We don’t want you to be in ADHD counseling forever, either. Our therapy for ADHD is designed to be short-term and to focus on meeting your goals by learning skills and supporting you in taking important steps in your life. Once your goals have been met, we will collaboratively agree on ending ADHD treatment.

Understandably, you or your child may find paying attention for stretches of time difficult. Although we offer both in-person and virtual sessions, we’ve found that in-person ADHD treatment works best, particularly for kids. We can also break up your sessions and allow you to stretch, take walks, do a quick activity, or talk about something you’d prefer for a few minutes to help you refocus. We will go at your pace to ensure you take in the information.
