Our practice name, logo, and motto, "Therapy for the Emotional Intelligence in You,” reflect the belief that what is needed for overcoming an issue is already within. Pulling this intelligence into awareness is a form of learning we call insight. When insight becomes blocked by stress, significant life events, etc., then developing a trusting relationship with an objective confidant, who doesn’t feel burdened by your troubles, can help in the process of bringing this intelligence into light. Your wellness is invaluable, and that value begins with finding the care that aligns best with You. Website: https://eastsideinsight.com/

Trust, initially, is not earned, it is a risk. And so it means if you experience distrust upon our first encounter, well then you might just be a member of the human race. The safer someone is, the more likely they are to venture into trust, and so this is the primary specialization of therapy, to create a space that is safe. There are varying degrees of safety, but for the most part it comes when: you can be yourself, feel acceptance and positive regard, do not have to protect yourself from abusive behavior, experience confidentiality and kindness, a willingness by someone to help, and that the person before you is authentic.
Group Objectives: Gain new tools and best pathways to treatment. Experience a safe, intimate setting with others who have similar yet different challenges, and where listening and sharing can bridge the gap from different to seen. Our Aim: To help you re-evaluate ADHD. Part of that means valuing your ability to hyper-focus as a strength while also addressing 'the brakes' related to attention. We will be creating a roadmap of inner wealth using CBT & Interpersonal Neurobiology. For more info, go to "Group Therapy" page under "Focus of Care" tab at eastsideinsight.com. Meets every Sunday in Sept 2023.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
