ADHD Therapy

Understanding ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults, characterized by symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms can impact daily functioning, academic performance, and interpersonal relationships. Individuals with ADHD often struggle to focus, follow through on tasks, and manage their impulses, leading to frustration and challenges in various aspects of life. Our experienced team is here to provide a personalized, evidence-based approach to help individuals with ADHD navigate their unique challenges and enhance their strengths. While medication can be beneficial, therapy addresses the underlying issues and equips individuals with tools to thrive.
