As a parent of a child who was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of five years old, this client challenge is very close to my heart. ADHD is a very complex neurodevelopemental disorder. I help children and adults achieve improved attention, organization and emotional regulation. I help them to achieve greater focus and task completion skills using innovative techniques. Many clients suffer from low self-esteem because the disorder is not well understood and often goes misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. This leads to many kids being "labelled" as lazy, disruptive, non-compliant among others. These clients must develop immense trust in the practitioner through a very strong therapeutic alliance. This is the key strength that has led to my immense success with clients challenged with ADHD/ADD disorders and associated "external disorders."
At CSP we have therapists trained in treating ADHD symptoms in both children and adults. Treatment for adults is mainly focused on cognitive refocusing, behavioral restructuring and management of daily activities, as well medication compliance (if applicable). Treatment for children is mainly focused on behavioral modification techniques, implementing strategies both in home and in school, cognitive skill building, as well as medication compliance (if applicable).
