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 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.

As a sufferer of Inattentive-Type ADHD myself, I understand that oftentimes feelings of internalized self-judgement and obsolete coping skills can be just as painful as the symptoms of ADHD themselves. And often the stress of accumulated incomplete tasks can snowball into new problems that seem to have a life of their own. I have helped many adults of all ages untangle these knots and gain a greater sense of self-acceptance, forward progression, and calm in their lives.

I help preteens, 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, create systems that work for them, and to participate in meaningful activities that can be related to school, work, play/leisure, rest & sleep, and home management.

A thorough assessment of the client's symptoms, history, strengths, challenges, and functioning is crucial. Providing psychoeducation about ADHD helps clients gain a deeper understanding of their condition.

Women have unique manifestations of ADHD that often go unnoticed or invalidated by professionals. I specialize in helping women understand their ADHD, how it impacts their life, and creating a plan for managing symptoms better. The ultimate goal is to help women feel more in control of their life and symptoms.

— Adrian Kunemund, Psychologist in Decatur, GA
 

I specialize in working with women with ADHD. Research shows that girls with ADHD often go undiagnosed until adulthood, which means that many adult women have been managing their ADHD symptoms for years. Many women with ADHD struggle with chronic stress and overwhelm, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and/or feelings of inadequacy. I support clients with improving self-esteem and confidence, improving stress management, and creating systems and routines that work for their brain type.
