Therapy for ADHD
Therapy can be very effective in teaching you or your child to manage symptoms of ADHD. Our psychologists and counselors teach you the skills needed to improve concentration, develop healthier emotional regulation, and how to get along better with others. Our therapists will help you (or you and your child) discover how ADHD is impacting your life. They will then help you focus on developing skills to manage your difficulties with attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity. They are also great at helping you learn ways to calm your mind and body so you can use the new skills you are developing. We provide therapy for adults and children.
