Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, upset, scared, angry, or feeling out of control. Therapy can be used as a vehicle to help you recover from difficult issues. Attending therapy can evoke feelings of uncertainty, a fear of sharing personal information, and a book stack of positive and negative thoughts. In fact, it is normal to have these concerns. The best therapy outcomes that I have found to enjoy are ones with individuals who are open, honest, willing to try activities, and just allowing themselves to make the journey toward peace of mind.

My most improved clients are the ones who have been told they're too smart for their own good, struggle with existential or spiritual angst, feel displaced, want to be pushed and challenged while utterly supported, need clarity on whether or not they have victimized or been victimized, have questions for which they have been told there are no answers, suffer from unprocessed or complicated grief, need help applying the knowledge they already posses, who feel like they are "too much," are afraid of feelings, and require an absolutely neutral and judgement free space to be vulnerable.

As a music therapy intern, a client that would find me ideal is one that has a strong connection to music. This client is also interested in reaching goals related to their emotional, spiritual, and/or physical health, or is an individual looking to improve their cognitive, interpersonal, communicative, or behavioral skills. If traditional therapy has not worked for you or your child in the past, if you feel like you need a form of therapy that feels less intimidating and more creatively stimulating, or if you just love music and want to understand how to use it therapeutically in your own life, music therapy might be for you!

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.
