Our social skills group is for school-age kids who are struggling at school, with peers, and at home. Children in our group try to make and keep friends; however, difficulties with attention, and reading social cues cause challenges. These children feel discouraged as they desperately want to make friends. Social skills deficits do not improve over time on their own and are a risk factor in adulthood. We help children make friends through practice and feedback in the group situation. Having a large practice, we can create groups that will help each child derive maximum benefit.

Come and try trauma-informed, modern approach to the ancient yoga practice. These Kundalini techniques along with somatic therapy help clear emotional blockages, balance the nervous system, and elevate your vibrational state. It is particularly powerful for those experiencing stress-related illnesses, trauma, chronic tension. It also helps people with anxiety and ADHD to learn how to still the mind and experience inner stillness. This class merges breath, movement, and chanting to release stored trauma and awaken higher consciousness. It activates neuroplasticity, rewires neural pathways, breaking trauma loops stored in the limbic system, allowing new responses and expending consciousness beyond trauma to empowered transformation.

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.
