Sleep is the foundation of everything, yet most people who struggle with it get generic advice that doesn’t work.I’m Kevin Harrison, LMFT and CCSH, a behavioral sleep specialist who treats insomnia, circadian disorders, nightmare disorder, and pediatric sleep using evidence-based behavioral approaches. If you’re exhausted by exhaustion, lying awake, waking at 3 a.m., dreading bedtime, or if your child can’t settle without a battle, you’ve found the right place. No pills. No guesswork. Just behavioral science that works.

I focus on creating a supportive space for women and college aged adults who are tired of carrying everything alone. Together, we’ll work toward healing, clarity, and lasting change (at your pace). Many of my clients are thoughtful, and deeply caring individuals who appear capable on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves. This work is more than a career to me, it’s rooted in compassion, authenticity, and a deep belief in every person has the ability to grow, heal, and reconnect with themselves.

I work with clients who deal with depression, anxiety, or ADHD.
My journey of helping people started when I was a middle school and high school teacher. While working closely with children, I learned about the emotional and developmental issues that they deal with and how it can leave a lasting effect into adulthood if they do not receive help. As a counselor, I use my knowledge, skills, and empathy to help adults and children deal with what they are struggling with and help them increase control of their lives. I look at each individual as their own person who needs individualistic care. Additionally, I incorporate the values and beliefs of my clients to create the most helpful counseling.

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.
