ADHD Therapists in Carroll County, GA
While grief, perinatal mental health, and ADHD (specifically in women and girls) are my passions, I often assist clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.
Grief isn’t just about death—it’s any loss that shakes your world. You might be grieving the loss of a relationship, a job, a dream, or even a version of yourself that no longer exists. Change, even when expected, can bring a deep sense of loss that’s hard to put into words.
You may be experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, or a major life transition. You may feel isolated, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Together, we’ll explore your feelings, make sense of your experience, and find ways to move forward at your own pace.

I also work with people who have suffered trauma and experience symptoms of PTSD and ADHD.
In today's technological society, it can be challenging to remain centered and grounded. This can lead to anxiety, an inability to focus and concentrate, behavioral issues, lack of social skills, and other issues that are rooted in fear. I use a mindfulness based CBT technique to help clients find the source of their symptoms of anxiety and depression.

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.
