Additionally, I utilize strategies for more effective management for ADHD.
How do we manage all that life throws at us sometimes? The stress of parenting, relationships with our significant other, children and family members are vital to having a meaningful life. Add to this the life stressors of remote and in person work, turmoil within the world, as well as toxic social media, and we are faced with difficult emotional struggles. My years of practice has included work with children, adults and couples who are struggling to find a balanced way of life and happiness. Therapy is a big step, it's a commitment and a connection in working towards a life that has purpose and meaning for each of us.

“Pain is important: how we evade it, how we succumb to it, how we deal with it, how we transcend it.” ― Audre Lorde. During certain life stages or circumstances, it can be difficult to find the right support or feel understood. These experiences or transitions can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and other mental health symptoms, and sometimes you just need a compassionate ear or fresh perspective. Whether you have experienced a loss, become a first-time parent, or other significant life event, therapy can be a useful tool to gain coping skills, learn about yourself, and develop new insight in many areas of your life.

ADHD Therapists

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.
