What is ADHD?

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (also known as ADHD) is a developmental disorder that affects your ability to self-regulate in many domains including attention, emotions, and behavior.  It is marked by persistent inattention and/or impulsivity-hyperactivity that interferes with everyday tasks, relationships, and functioning.

What is an ADHD Therapist?

ADHD therapists are counselors with the knowledge, experience, and competency to support patients with ADHD.  They can help you explore and clarify your symptoms , develop a personalized treatment plan, and offer practical coping strategies.  Research has shown that the more environmental support a person with ADHD has, the more symptom relief people experience. Our therapists are well versed in diagnosing, treating and securing school support for individuals with ADHD. They are also highly competent in executive function support for both the individual with ADHD and their family, an essential component.

Some ADHD therapists might be qualified to perform psychological assessments to determine whether you are living with ADHD or other condition(s). ADHD-like symptoms are complex and should be evaluated by a professional well versed in the various comorbidities that affect attention. A thorough evaluation might include assessment of memory, mood, anxiety, attachment, learning differences and family systems. Often, these domains are assessed differently in different age groups. Only through careful consideration can an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan be developed. 

Who Can Benefit From ADHD Therapy?

Both children and adults can benefit from ADHD therapy. ADHD therapy at MPPS is tailored to the specific ADHD type and symptoms that the individual is experiencing, the real world effect of these symptoms and the types of supports needed. For example, children may need letters written in order to support the acquisition of a 504 or Individual Education Plan (IEP). Adults may require a detailed analysis of strengths and weaknesses in order to provide cognitive strategies, executive functioning support and relationship guidance.

If you or your loved ones have been diagnosed or are experiencing signs of ADHD, you can benefit from behavioral therapy.  ADHD therapy is an effective treatment that offers insight, support, and skills to help you manage your symptoms, heal, and grow. This therapy can support medication management or replace it as we collaborate with psychiatry to support your needs and goals.
