Is ADHD holding you back?
When you think about getting help for ADD or ADHD, your mind probably jumps right to medication. While psychiatry may be part of your ADD or ADHD treatment plan, individual therapy can also be incredibly helpful.
For adults and children alike, our compassionate therapists will help you develop better organizational skills, create positive buffers to outside stimuli and teach you techniques for working through distractions.
An integrated ADD or ADHD treatment plan might also include meditation, mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Your therapist might also recommend yoga, nutritional supplements, massage or acupuncture.
ADD and ADHD Treatment for Children
ADD and ADHD are the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorders in children 18 and younger. Depending on your child’s condition, ADD and ADHD can be diagnosed as early as toddlerhood.
While children are naturally rambunctious, the signs of ADD or ADHD generally include extreme levels of inattention, hyperactivity or impulsiveness. Often, symptoms increase as your child gets older, and finds him or herself with more schoolwork, distractions and outside influences.
While many of the causes are chemical in nature, an integrated ADD or ADHD treatment plan will also address any emotional issues that stem from living with the disorder.
