Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. This is particularly true for girls and women. Girls’ and womens’ ADHD tends to manifest differently from boys and men. The symptoms may be harder to recognize and/or they may have developed strategies to compensate for their ADHD symptoms. This is predominately the case with ADHD testing. Computerized tests such as the T.O.V.A. and the CPT test diagnose 80% of individuals with ADHD. In other words, there is a false negative of 20% of individuals that have ADHD and are not identified by these extensive tests. Hence, a thorough history with a deep understanding of neuroscience and executive functioning is critical to determine whether an individual would qualify for an ADHD diagnosis.
The advances in neuroscience through the technology of brain imaging has facilitated our understanding about the complexity of the brain. The brain is viewed as a self-regulating system. This fundamental human capacity is the ability to regulate and control our thoughts, feelings and behavior. Recent developments in neuroscience have increased our understanding of the neural underpinnings of self-regulation. Self-regulation is often used interchangeably with the term of executive functioning.
Despite these challenges, being neurodiverse offers great advantages. First and foremost, neurodiverse individuals are intelligent. They have average to above average IQ’s. They naturally think outside of the box and are innovative by nature. In fact, it is noted that many successful entrepreneurs have ADHD. The areas of their ADHD that have lead to their success in business include hyper-focusing, divergent thinking, risk taking, and hyperactivity. With therapy and ADHD coaching, one can learn to harness one’s strengths and minimize one’s weaknesses to be healthy, happy and successful.

ADHD
Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Children and adults with ADHD show a consistent pattern of excess slow-wave activity (theta) and insufficient fast-wave activity (beta) in the brain — leaving them chronically underaroused and struggling to sustain focus.
Neurofeedback corrects this imbalance directly, training the brain to produce faster, more alert rhythms. Studies show improvements in attention, impulse control, and academic performance that persist long after treatment ends.

Oceanside is a coastal city in northern San Diego County situated directly adjacent to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, one of the largest Marine Corps installations in the country, and the city's mental health landscape is heavily shaped by the needs of active duty service members, veterans, and military families. Trauma, PTSD, military sexual trauma, deployment stress, and the challenges of military-to-civilian transition are among the most common concerns for therapists working in the area. San Diego County behavioral health services extend to Oceanside, and several private practices specialize specifically in military-affiliated populations. The city also has a growing civilian population of families and retirees attracted by its beaches and lower housing costs than central San Diego, and general therapy needs are well served by a broad network of local practitioners.
