What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder(ADD)?
To most adults, all children seem a source of boundless energy and limited focus. How can you tell for sure if your child has a problem with attention, concentration, and keeping themselves still?
dults who find themselves moving from job to job, having difficulty with a new job, or struggling with going back to school often find themselves wondering about Attention Disorders. Sometimes, when their children are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD they start to wonder about themselves. When these adults were children, they were often mislabeled as “lazy,” “unmotivated,” “careless,” "daydreamers” or even “stupid.” They were not given the benefit of what we know today.

Shauna Pollard
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you have always excelled in your career, it’s possible that many people don’t see the long hours that you put in and recognize how late you stay at work to get things done. Yes, you get it all done and usually deliver high quality work, but it comes at a cost. Often, there is anxiety about maintaining a certain level of success. You may feel like you pulled off something amazing, but doubt your ability to do it again, or to sustain what you’ve created.
In fact, you may be great at coming up with the big picture ideas and find it hard to follow through with the important details. It’s likely that you are excited by so many things that it’s hard to focus on just one thing. You may also find that because so many things come easily to you, that it is so frustrating when you come across a challenge that feels different from the rest.
------
Being successful and having ADHD can mean that others may not even recognize that you have ADHD because you have naturally found workarounds for your areas of weakness. This may allow you to excel at school or in your career, but challenges with being organized, handling intense emotions, and managing your time wisely will catch up eventually.
Hitting that wall can show up as burnout, challenges in relationships, financial issues, or a loss of confidence in yourself.
The skills that got you to where you are, may not be enough to get you to the next level.
You are not alone and therapy can help. You don’t need to be fixed, you just need some additional support so that you can improve your functioning across the board. Through our work together, I can help you
1. Learn how to work with the brain that you have
2. Improve how you manage your emotions so that they don’t manage you
3. Increase your confidence in yourself and stop being so hard on yourself
