ADHD and ADD
Understanding ADHD and ADD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are conditions that affect both children and adults, often impacting academic, professional, and personal lives. Symptoms commonly include difficulties in maintaining attention, forgetfulness, disorganization, impulsivity, fidgeting, and excessive talking.
Addressing ADHD and ADD early is essential to mitigate their impact on well-being. Without support, individuals may experience academic or professional challenges, strained relationships, and even co-occurring mental health concerns like anxiety or depression. Therapy for ADHD and ADD provides strategies to enhance focus, manage time, and reduce feelings of shame or stigma, offering an effective path toward a more fulfilling and productive life.
Our Therapeutic Approaches
Our experienced therapists employ a blend of therapeutic approaches designed to support clients in navigating ADHD and ADD symptoms, building on each person’s unique strengths. Here’s how we help:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps clients recognize and shift negative thought patterns, equipping them with practical skills for time management, organization, and sustained focus. This approach also addresses emotional challenges, including self-esteem and anxiety, that often accompany ADHD and ADD.
- Behavioral Therapy: By using reinforcement strategies, our therapists help clients establish positive habits, set achievable goals, and reinforce desired behaviors, making this approach especially effective for children and adolescents.
- Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Mindfulness practices increase present-moment awareness, enhancing attention, reducing impulsivity, and improving emotional regulation. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy can be especially beneficial for clients who experience anxiety or perfectionism alongside ADHD.
- Parent Training and Family Therapy: For children and teens, family involvement is essential. Parent training supports caregivers in managing their child’s behaviors while fostering positive development. Family therapy also helps to improve communication and strengthen relationships within the family.
- Executive Function Coaching: Executive function coaching addresses planning, organization, and time management. Our therapists work with clients to develop task-management skills, enhancing academic and professional performance.
- Eclectic Approaches: Our therapists incorporate techniques to build emotional regulation, reduce burnout, and help clients develop a positive relationship with their neurodivergent brain. We also provide strategies for navigating traditional, neurotypical spaces like school or work, focusing on strengths and managing sensory sensitivities, while finding balance that aligns with ADHD needs.
- ADHD and ADD in Couples Counseling: Our therapists work with couples to build attachment and understanding around ADHD. This includes discussing how masking may contribute to anxiety or depression, providing healthy support, and addressing rejection sensitivity to foster a stronger sense of attachment and security.
Therapy for ADHD and ADD can be transformative, helping individuals embrace their strengths and find strategies to manage their symptoms effectively. With the right support, you or your loved one can live a fulfilling, balanced, and meaningful life.
