Before your first session, you will receive paperwork to complete regarding your concerns. Therefore, by the time you have your intake session, your therapist will understand why you are in ADHD treatment, and you will be ready to jump right into how we can help.

As your therapist and our team develops an accurate diagnosis and begins to understand the impact that your ADHD symptoms are having on your life, they will begin to outline a treatment plan while considering your goals, strengths, and needs.

In ADHD treatment, you will learn about where your symptoms came from and how they manifest in your life. With Behavioral and Cognitive Behavioral Interventions (CBT), as well as Solution Focused therapies, you will learn how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related to each other. This will teach you to crack the code to actually be able to shift your thinking which in turn, impacts your behavior, improving self-esteem and daily productivity.

An important part of ADHD treatment is helping you to develop a more positive mindset, learning to identify negative thought patterns leading you to recognize the inner strength you never thought you had!

I am embarrassed and afraid that others will judge me or my child if an ADHD diagnosis is found. Can I handle this on my own?

This question speaks to the stigma and shame that is unfortunately associated with many mental health conditions, ADHD is no different. It is best to think of ADHD as you would any medical condition. Would you handle a heart problem on your own or an complex neurological condition? Probably not. It is understandable to feel this way and it is always best to accept help and support from your therapist, other professionals, friends, and family when you need it. The alternative to getting help is leaving your ADHD undiagnosed and untreated. This results in much more serious consequences including more complicated symptoms which cause even greater havoc in your life than the perceived judgments of others. And given that ADHD is a complex condition, professional help is often necessary.

I am concerned that ADHD treatment will be expensive.

Therapy is certainly an investment. However, like most investments that are worth it, ADHD treatment can help you live a life that feels more accomplished, leaving you happier, more in control of your life, meeting the needs of yourself and others, and not feeling like you are constantly one step behind. The costs of untreated ADHD will be much greater than those of some productive sessions with an ADHD specialist who can lead the way towards success.
