ADHD

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder that is typically characterized by a lack of impulse control, an inability to focus and pay attention, and hyperactivity. ADHD most commonly emerges in children and teens and can continue into adulthood. In fact, ADHD is the most common mental health disorder diagnosed in young people and sufferers often have trouble paying attention in school. ADHD must be diagnosed by a qualified clinician. In addition to medical interventions, seeing a mental health practitioner who specializes in the treatment of ADHD can help patients and their families better cope with many of the symptoms.

I help pre-teens, young adults, and adults with ADHD to be as functionally independent as they can in their daily lives by providing executive function and cognitive supports to organize themselves and create systems that work for them.

— Alexandra Feldman, Occupational Therapist in Los Angeles, CA

I am a therapist with ADHD specializing in working with my fellow ADHDers. This is absolutely an area of hyperfocus for me and I am truly fascinated by how our brains work. While I have sought extensive training as well as self-educating in this area, my greatest source of information is my clients (cheesy, I know). I get to see up close which strategies are only great in theory and which ones are actually user friendly and effective.

I take a strengths-based approach to my treatment of ADHD. Early identification and treatment of ADHD, or even ADHD diagnosed in adulthood, is life changing. I help my clients understand the neurological aspects of ADHD, and how their unique brain design impacts their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. My clients develop tools to improve their executive functioning, time management, and emotion regulation while connecting with and discovering their true selves.

Experience working with childhood and adult ADHD. CBT and talk therapy incorporated to support clients understand their diagnoses and learn skills to improve day-today functioning.

— Tashanee Edwards, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, NY

I am a neurodivergent and affirming provider. Those of us with ADHD, Autism, and other neurodivergent identities (of which there are many!) learn to conform ourselves to meet the expectations neurotypical society places on us, to great harm to ourselves. It is possible to explore how to flourish while affirming our neurodivergence, while navigating a society that is not made for us through accommodations, exploring the parts we love about our brains, and better understanding it.

— Natalie Favorite Chen, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Palo Alto, CA
 

I have worked with many clients to help them have a healthy relationship with their ADHD symptoms. When viewing some of our experiences from this lens, it can be helpful to be able to feel empowered, rather than defeated. As with anything, being able to see its usefulness rather than its hinderance, helps us incorporate ADHD symptoms into our life rather than try to minimize their effects

— Jonny Pack, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Asheville, NC

As a therapist with ADHD myself, I help my clients better understand how their brains work. I help clients gain skills pertaining to emotional regulation, social connectedness, managing executive dysfunction, and how to meet the needs of their own unique sensory profile.
