I also evaluate and treat both childhood and adult
ADHD
.
I see a primary goal of psychotherapy as providing the individual with a sense of empowerment: the belief that you are able to control your own thoughts and actions and through that interact more effectively in social, personal, and occupational arenas. Therapy begins with establing a supportive therapeutic relationship, in which one feels accepted and validated. The specific methods I use vary depending on the nature of the problem and the needs of the client.

Whether it is behavioral, emotional, a major change in life, something that you cannot quite put your finger on, or all of the above, that has you looking at this page, congratulations for being brave. The decision to go to therapy is not always an easy one, nor is choosing a therapist. The idea of change or talking to a stranger can be uncomfortable, but often times in confronting discomfort we can find a little freedom. I hope this little blurb gives you some direction on whether my therapy style is right for you.

Why do we seek out therapy? There's plenty of reasons such as depression, anxiety, marital/relationship issues, bullying, anger, identity concerns and the list can go on. There are plenty of issues we can continue to pull out if we really try but the overall goal is to process, identify and improve our quality of life. I know seeking out therapy can be difficult especially when you're given the task to talk to a complete stranger about your "problems" but sometimes it's a better fit once a relationship is built. Talking with your therapist gives you more time to spend with family or friends without sadness, anger or indifference.

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.
