Arthur (Archie) Levine
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LMHC
When a person is diagnosed with ADHD or ADD, this means that they are having significant problems with focusing their attention (Their mind wanders or they space out frequently), they are antsy or energetic to a degree that causes them difficulty with sitting still, and/or they do things so impulsively that they are unable to consider the consequences before taking action. Children & adults may suffer significant problems in school, at work, and in their relationships. You will learn skills for managing these problems, and you will be guided through processes & learn activities you can do yourself that will help increase your ability to focus your attention, settle yourself down, & sit calmly, and to think through consequences instead of acting out impulsively.

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
