ADHD
Sometimes your brain is going in a million directions and you’re struggling to channel your energy.
Living with ADHD can feel like your brain’s flipping through 37 tabs and someone lost the mouse. Whether you’re a kid constantly getting in trouble for “not paying attention” or an adult drowning in overdue emails and misplaced keys, the struggle is real and relentless. It’s not about laziness—it’s a daily battle to manage focus, impulsivity, and the chaos behind the scenes.
Common Signs
Difficulty Concentrating
Impulsivity
Restlessness/Hyperactivity
Disorganization
Poor Time Management

How We Can Help
-
Through teaching and implementing systems, routines, and skills and tools, it is possible to find more balance in managing your executive functioning.
-
Through supportive cognitive behavioral and person-centered support, we can support regulating your nervous system and recognizing warning signs of meltdowns, shame spirals, and the other stressful experiences neurodivergent people often deal with.
-
ADHD folks can develop a lot of negative self-talk or beliefs (I’m not good enough, I’m a burden, the list goes on). In therapy, we work to uncover and heal from these wounds and create new narratives to help your sense of self be restored.
-
The hyperfocus - it can be wonderful or it can lead you into organizing a kitchen drawer for 2 hours when you should be cooking dinner. We will find ways to work with your neuropathways and natural wiring so that your hyperfocus gets things done while leaving time for your latest obsessive hobby or special interest!
Adults Navigating or Suspecting ADHD
-
Systems and Routines
We work with you to develop systems, routines, and a dependable structure to create more stability and groundedness in your life. Looking at how the neurodivergent brain has different needs and thinking outside of the box on strategies that feel reasonable and friendly to your brain.
-
Neuroaffirming Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Traditional CBT can feel a little like gas lighting for many neurodivergent folks so we have modified this effective treatment to better align with the neurodivergent mind. Neuroaffirming CBT recognizes that the client’s thoughts and feelings often make perfect sense in the context of their lived experience. It focuses more on understanding those thoughts, validating them, and working with the person’s neurotype rather than against it.
-
Meeting Sensory Needs
We can help you figure out what sensory issues are challenging you while finding tools, skills and strategies to self soothe, minimize triggers, learn to communicate limits, and improve emotional regulation and reduce overwhelm.
Neuroaffirming Practices for Children
-
Developmentally Focused
Assessing and working with the actual emotional age to create realistic goals that are attainable regardless of the chronological age. We understand the importance of involving the family in the process of understanding their child’s needs and see the parents/caregivers as the experts who can collaborate with us to help their child thrive.
-
Child-Centered Play Therapy
Through Sand Tray, play therapy, art therapy and other creative outlets, we rely on hands-on learning and playing to explore emotions, thoughts, and reactions. Whether in person or telehealth, we find strategies to engage children in a sensory-friendly manner that utilizes all parts of the brain.
-
Behavioral Strategies
We do not do ABA practices but do pull from behavioral interventions such as modeling, role playing, social skills training, and redirecting and shaping behaviors. We modify Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to recognize that some of the thoughts are rational and do not always need to be replaced or challenged.
