I have both evaluated and worked with many clients to help them understand the symptoms of A-D/HD and the impact as well as the strengths that their unique brain brings to their life experience. A-D/HD is not one-size fits all or a constellation of symptoms, rather it becomes part of the lens through which clients experience school, education, self, family, work, and relationships.
In treating ADHD, I use a combination of behavioral interventions, psychoeducation, and referrals for medication management. Behavioral therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychoeducation, aim to help individuals with ADHD develop coping strategies, organizational skills, and improved self-control.
ADHD looks different person to person, in my practice I collaborate with my clients to find the best approach that fits their needs. I have found success in providing context to certain behaviors and finding sustainable paths in managing your ADHD. Sometimes this means hands on skills to practice, as well as lifestyle shifts that can make aspects of focus and concentration easier to attain.
