ADHD

What is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a consistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. People with ADHD may struggle with maintaining attention, managing impulsive behaviors, or be overly active. It is common in children and can persist into adulthood, affecting various aspects of life, including academic achievement, social interactions, and work performance.

Treatment Options for ADHD

Happy Medium Counseling offers a range of effective treatments for managing ADHD, tailored to each client’s unique profile:

Behavioral Therapy

Focuses on managing the symptoms of ADHD by teaching behavior modification techniques such as time management and organizational skills.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Helps in addressing the negative thought patterns that can arise due to ADHD and teaches practical skills for dealing with everyday challenges.

Mindfulness Training

Enhances concentration and attention control while reducing impulsivity through mindfulness practices.

Parental Training

Medication Consultation

While not prescribing medications directly, we can work alongside your healthcare provider to explore if medication could complement the therapy process effectively.
