My ideal client is someone who feels stuck emotionally—perhaps struggling with self-worth, relationships, or navigating major life transitions—and is ready to understand the deeper patterns driving their pain. They often carry unresolved trauma, anxiety, or guilt that keeps them feeling disconnected from themselves and others. Their main need is a safe space to explore their emotions, gain clarity, and rebuild a sense of control over their life. Ultimately, they want peace, confidence, and the ability to form healthier relationships—both with others and within themselves.

You don't know how you got to such a low point in your life. You feel tired, stressed, burned out, overwhelmed and unorganized. You're feeling down and just can't see that light at the end of the tunnel. Problems at home, on your job, within the community has created the dreaded STRESS OVERLOAD. You literally feel as if you are all over the place and just going through the motions. You don't feel like yourself...crying, anxious, low to no energy, helpless.

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.
