ADHD
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.

Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Living with ADHD is a unique challenge that often goes undiagnosed for years. While medication is frequently the primary treatment, therapy offers essential support that pills can’t provide.
While much of a counselor's work involves building structure and teaching coping skills, the therapeutic process goes much deeper. A therapist helps you navigate the emotional side of ADHD—like managing reactive grief, harnessing hyper-focus, and healing from a past where undiagnosed symptoms may have led to setbacks or paths you're now ready to change.
