ADHD Therapists in Grand Rapids, MN
Many times, there are underlying issues that are not addressed such as ADHD, OCD, trauma, or other issues.
We work with Neurodivergent folks guiding them with issues related to executive dysfunction IE: can't get started on a task, stay on track, or get things done. Research indicates that ADHD is underdiagnosed in women, and I personally suffered from anxiety and depression for years, only to find that these were merely symptoms of ADHD.

More than just a way to capture attention, the spelling of Inner Fōkus also carries a personal meaning to the founders. The name is a nod to the German heritage shared by both Dr. Lori and Dr. Patrick, since “fōkus” is the correct spelling of “focus” in German. Our heritage, culture, and environment can have great impacts in shaping who we are. Our name, Inner Fōkus, also serves as a prominent reminder of the importance to occasionally break from current patterns and try new things.

My ideal clients are women, young adults, parents, and caregivers who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, especially in relationships. Often, they come to therapy feeling exhausted by repeating the same cycles, unsure how to move forward, or disconnected from themselves and their needs. They may be leaving or healing from difficult relationships, adjusting to life transitions, or trying to better understand why they feel the way they do. In our work together, we will focus on building insight, increasing self-awareness, and gently working through the emotions and patterns that feel hard to shift.

Are you struggling with your mood, anxiety, or relationships, or consider yourself to be a perfectionist? Maybe you feel like you're drowning in everything that is expected of you or perhaps you're questioning whether you're really capable of a job you've worked so hard for. It might feel difficult to complete your day-to-day activities, or you’re simply struggling to function in any of your many roles. Your ability to work hard has gotten you this far, but now you’re stuck and the anxiety or drive that was once helpful and motivating, is no longer serving that purpose.

Many of the individuals I work with struggle with managing daily life stressors. This may be due to experiencing a traumatic childhood, recovering from a recent traumatic event, or having trouble juggling the demands placed on them. Many people find themselves stuck or “going through the motions” and are looking for validation that they are not alone as well as help with finding hope and a purpose in their lives.

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.
