Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP)
We all know kids who can’t sit still, who never seem to listen, who blurt out inappropriate comments, or don’t follow instructions no matter how clearly you present them.
While it’s normal for kids to forget their homework, daydream during class or act without thinking, inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity are also signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. ADHD makes it difficult for a person to inhibit their spontaneous responses, including everything from movement to speech to assertiveness.
Some children with ADHD may be constantly in-motion, bouncing off the walls and disrupting others around them. Other children with ADHD may sit quietly, with their attention miles away.
There are three primary characteristics of ADHD: Inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity, though all three aren’t always prominent in one child. Whether or not your child’s symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity are due to ADHD, they can cause problems if left untreated. Children who can’t focus or control themselves or get into trouble at school often find it hard to make friends. These frustrations can later lead to low self-esteem as well as friction for the whole family.
Treatment can make a dramatic difference in your child’s symptoms. With the right support, your child can get on track for success in all areas of life.
If you’re interested in learning more about ADD and ADHD therapy, contact me today to schedule an appointment. I would be happy to share how I can help your child achieve success and grow.

Emily Stevens Brown
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LMHC, LPC, LPC-MHSP, MCAP
As a therapist, I began my career working with children and adolescence in alternative Educational settings and residential settings. It is important to take the time to assess the presenting symptoms and behaviors properly to help determine the source of the issues without jumping to conclusions or diagnoses. A diagnosis can follow someone the rest of their lives and providing appropriate assessment in intervention is essential when working with children and adolescence.

Cori Ross
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The Adolescent years can be exciting and confusing. So many big changes in such a short time and not every adolescent develops in the same span as their peers. I help parents of adolescents support their children in helpful ways. I work with adolescents to reduce shame, gain self awareness and increase confidence in the unique way that they show up in the world.
