ADHD Treatment
Energy that never rests is both a gift and a challenge—embracing the hyper person means honoring their vibrant spark while guiding it with gentle understanding.
ADHD Treatment Overview
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can impact focus, impulsivity, organization, emotional regulation, and daily functioning. Effective treatment is highly personalized and can help children, teens, and adults better manage symptoms and improve overall quality of life. Our approach combines evidence-based practices, supportive therapy, and structured skill-building to meet each client where they are.
Comprehensive Evaluation
ADHD treatment begins with a thorough assessment that may include clinical interviews, symptom rating scales, developmental or academic history, and collaboration with schools, medical providers, or family members when appropriate. Accurate diagnosis helps guide a tailored treatment plan that addresses both symptoms and the client’s unique strengths.
Medication Management
For many individuals, medication can significantly reduce core symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Options may include stimulant medications (like methylphenidate or amphetamine-based treatments) or non-stimulant medications. Our psychiatric providers work closely with clients to monitor effectiveness, adjust dosing, and address any side effects to ensure treatment is safe and supportive.
Therapeutic Interventions
Psychotherapy is an essential part of ADHD treatment. Approaches may include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps with organization, time management, and challenging negative thought patterns.
Behavioral Therapy: Builds helpful routines, reward systems, and strategies for managing daily responsibilities.
Coaching & Skills Training: Supports planning, scheduling, prioritizing tasks, and improving executive functioning.
Parent Training & Family Support: Helps caregivers understand ADHD, reinforce positive behavior, and create structure at home.
School & Workplace Support
We help clients advocate for accommodations when needed. This may include IEP/504 planning, testing accommodations, reduced distraction environments, or organizational support. Collaboration with teachers, employers, and support teams helps ensure clients receive consistent structure across settings.
Lifestyle & Wellness Strategies
ADHD treatment also incorporates supportive habits that strengthen overall functioning. This may include sleep regulation, exercise routines, nutritional guidance, mindfulness practices, and stress reduction strategies.
Ongoing Monitoring & Support
Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Symptom patterns and needs often shift over time. Regular follow-ups help adjust strategies, review progress, and maintain gains so clients continue to feel supported.
