ADHD treatment often combines medication management with a psychiatric evaluation. Here's a breakdown:
Psychiatric Evaluation: A psychiatrist assesses your symptoms, medical history, and overall well-being to confirm ADHD and identify any potential co-existing conditions.
Medication Management: Based on the evaluation, the psychiatrist may recommend medications, typically stimulants or non-stimulants, to improve focus, reduce impulsivity, and manage hyperactivity.
This is an ongoing process. The psychiatrist will monitor your response to the medication, adjust dosages as needed, and address any side effects.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.Ed., LMHC, LPC
As a school adjustment counselor I have extensive experience working with ADHD and ASD clients. I have specific training in supportive college students and adults with organizational skills and prioritizing their days to be most effective.
As a therapist specializing in ADHD, my goal is to build a nurturing and inclusive environment where you feel genuinely heard and valued. I’ve undergone training to adapt evidence-based therapeutic skills specifically for neurodivergent individuals. Together, we’ll navigate the unique challenges of ADHD, focusing on building strengths while coping with difficulties. I often use humor to keep our sessions relaxed and approachable, understanding that navigating ADHD can be challenging. I show up authentically in sessions, hoping that you can too. I frequently discuss the effects of capitalism on mental health, acknowledging how it often exacerbates stress and inequality. We all need help navigating a system that undervalues rest and self-care and fosters chronic traumatic invalidation for those who are neurodivergent. Understanding that systemic structures influence our lives, I strive to be a thoughtful ally, continually educating myself to offer the most supportive and empathetic care possible. Let’s connect to work on harnessing your strengths and managing the aspects of ADHD that impact your life.
Therapy for ADHD is highly individualized and may involve a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, skill-building exercises, and supportive interventions to help you manage your symptoms, improve your functioning, and achieve your goals.
Managing ADHD can be challenging, but with the right support, it’s possible to thrive. I have experience helping clients develop strategies for organization, focus, and time management. Together, we can create practical action steps to harness your strengths and improve your daily functioning, leading to a more balanced and productive life.
