I use my years of experience and education to look at issues that go along with having ADHD. I address deficits in organization, inability to concentrate, lack of focus, sleep hygiene, etc.
Treating ADHD with therapy involves a combination of behavioral interventions and techniques tailored to help your manage their symptoms effectively. Identifying and modifying disruptive behaviors and developing skills can be a part of our treatment together along with identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, improving emotional regulation and coping strategies.
ADHD impacts our lives in so many ways, but therapy can help. Together, we can hack your brain to increase motivation. We can find ways to complete tasks that used to take so much energy and effort. We will discover what gets in the way of having the closeness you want in your relationships with others. You can better understand your sensory needs so they don't interfere with the life you want. Lastly, identify ways to rest and relax without feeling guilt.
ADHD, especially when it's diagnosed later in life, brings so much daily difficulty to your life. It gets really easy to beat yourself up for the ways you struggle. You might drown in anxiety as you attempt to micromanage your difficulties, or just give up and succumb to shame and depression because you can't get anything right. Your counselor can guide you into more effective ways to handle ADHD (with or without medication) so you can enjoy the unique upsides of this neurotype.
ADHD comes with a certain amount of trauma. I think my IREST and Mindfulness approach is an important treatment that can be used to help center someone who is struggling with ADHD.
