ADHD therapists in Belvidere, Illinois IL
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I help patients with ADHD by utilizing a comprehensive and personalized approach that addresses their unique needs and challenges. I start with thorough assessments to accurately diagnose ADHD and provide education to help patients and their families understand the condition. Behavioral interventions and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are employed to develop effective coping strategies, improve time management, and address negative thought patterns. Mindfulness practices are taught to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. I also offer coaching to build specific skills, create structured routines, and explore medication options in collaboration with medical professionals. Family involvement is encouraged to create a supportive environment, and a strength-based approach is used to build confidence and motivation. Ongoing support and follow-up ensure continuous progress and adjustment of therapeutic strategies. This comprehensive approach aims to empower patients with ADHD to manage their symptoms effectively, enhance their strengths, and lead fulfilling lives.

Craig Mead
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCPC
For those with adult ADHD, I provide therapy from an ADHD perspective to help you better understand how your unique ADHD affects your success at work, at home, and in relationships. We'll focus on finding practical solutions to address problems such as overwhelm and paralysis, procrastination, feeling stuck, disorganization, poor time management, uneven productivity, and relationship problems. We may also address common ADHD problems like low self-esteem, rejection sensitivity, and understanding the connection with anxiety, depression, and a lack of progress on goals.
