Therapy for ADHD and Executive Functioning
Do you have trouble staying focused, and are you easily distracted? Are you forgetful when it comes to daily tasks? Do you tend to procrastinate, especially when it comes to tasks that require sustained mental effort? Do you have difficulty staying still or fidget often?
ADHD affects the way people think, feel, and behave. While ADHD is often diagnosed during childhood, many high achieving individuals who have ADHD develop compensatory strategies to cope. As a result, many do not realize they have ADHD until adulthood when they are faced with increasing demands across a variety of contexts.
Whether you have been formally diagnosed with ADHD or suspect that you may have ADHD, we can work together to address symptoms that can impact academic or work performance, relationships, self-esteem, physical health, daily functioning, and overall quality of life.
