Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Learning to navigate life with ADHD can be challenging. While medication can be helpful in managing some of the challenges, it is so beneficial having someone teach you more about what ADHD is and guide you through the process of making changes. It can take time to build habits and routines that make the challenges easier. I am passionate about helping people find what works for them. By learning how to make changes to thoughts and behaviors, we can see improvements in our day to day.

ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. A person with ADHD has differences in brain development and brain activity that affect attention, the ability to focus and self-control. ADHD can affect a child at school and an adult in their daily functioning. I will work with you to learn coping skills, improve focus, and I will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist you with behavioral change.

Many people with ADHD have received and internalized the message that they are lazy or not living up to their potential; it is common for individuals with ADHD to be hard on themselves in an attempt to increase productivity and reliability. Yet, each failure reinforces the message that they are inadequate. Moreover, the nature of ADHD often makes it difficult to organize and soothe difficult thoughts and emotions, leaving one vulnerable to anxiety and depression.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
For many years, I have offered an ADHD program with specific techniques to use in assisting with attention, focus and concentration, and the lessening of distraction. I have administered tests for ADD and ADHD. I do screening with children, adolescents and adults. I also work with parents, schools and universities. I provide special programs for ADHD, as well as assistance with obtaining accommodations on standardized tests. The book, “Driven to Distraction” is a helpful resource for understanding this disorder. Parents of these children diagnosed with this condition are often running around trying to pick up the pieces! These children forget assignments, forget to bring their projects to school, and have trouble organizing and managing their lives. Their executive functioning is not as good as it should be.
Often gifted children appear to have ADD or ADHD because they are perceiving so many mental stimuli at once that they are not able to attend to details or they become distracted from the goal at hand.
I regularly offer free zoom workshops, which can provide a way to experience peace and calm, and organization. Please call for the latest schedule or for a consultation: 301-229-8000
