ADHD Treatment

ADHD Diagnosis, Therapy, and Coaching

What is ADHD?

ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is a neurobiological condition that tends to run in families and consists of symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity that are significant enough to interfere with an individual’s functioning. Symptoms of ADHD can include:

• fidgeting, restlessness, talking excessively, or constantly being in motion as if “driven by a motor”

• difficulty completing tasks that require organization, failure to pay attention to details, or procrastination

• frequently losing things, being easily distractible, or forgetfulness

Cognitive Therapy and ADHD

While treatment of ADHD may begin with medication, it doesn’t teach the skills that many ADHD sufferers missed during their development. Medication can help you concentrate, but it does not tell you what to concentrate on.

I provide expert cognitive therapy and executive functioning coaching for skills to help with time management, organization, distractibility, and impulsivity that may not be fully addressed with medication. In addition, it is estimated that 50-75% of adults with ADHD often experience other mental health conditions such as depression anxiety, and substance abuse disorders, or difficulties with their relationships which can also be effectively treated in cognitive therapy in the same practical, skill-building manner. I also provide couple therapy to couples coping with relationships issues related to the symptoms of ADHD.
