Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder that is typically characterized by a lack of impulse control, an inability to focus and pay attention, and hyperactivity. ADHD most commonly emerges in children and teens and can continue into adulthood. In fact, ADHD is the most common mental health disorder diagnosed in young people and sufferers often have trouble paying attention in school. ADHD must be diagnosed by a qualified clinician. In addition to medical interventions, seeing a mental health practitioner who specializes in the treatment of ADHD can help patients and their families better cope with many of the symptoms.

I am a therapist with ADHD specializing in working with my fellow ADHDers. This is absolutely an area of hyperfocus for me and I am truly fascinated by how our brains work. While I have sought extensive training as well as self-educating in this area, my greatest source of information is my clients (cheesy, I know). I get to see up close which strategies are only great in theory and which ones are actually user friendly and effective.

— Eric Norton, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in Minnetonka, MNI specialize in working with women with ADHD. Research shows that girls with ADHD often go undiagnosed until adulthood, which means that many adult women have been managing their ADHD symptoms for years. Many women with ADHD struggle with chronic stress and overwhelm, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and/or feelings of inadequacy. I support clients with improving self-esteem and confidence, improving stress management, and creating systems and routines that work for their brain type.

— Mendy McLaughlin, Associate Professional Counselor in Austin, TXI was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, so I understand how ADHD isn't just about "squirrel brain." It's how much you might call yourself lazy or not motivated enough, especially if you feel like other people are doing better than you. Or feel stuck in a loop of focusing and then feeling like you can't get started on something because it's just too big of a task. Or feeling like people don't understand when you try to talk about how ADHD impacts you. These are things we can work on together.

— Kirby Orr, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in VANCOUVER, WAAs someone late-diagnosed & medicated for inattentive ADHD in my thirties, I can attest to the struggles of decluttering, losing things, & negative self thoughts of "Why can't I just concentrate like everyone else?" Talk therapy, Bluetooth device finders, & practicing mindfulness are approaches we might use.
— Katherine Work, Therapist in Northbrook, ILPeople with ADHD work differently than other people. Someone with ADHD, their brain processes information uniquely, and the emotional experience can sometimes be more overwhelming and difficult to manage. In therapy, we can learn to both use ADHD to excel in some ways and learn to use strategies to curtail its impact when that impact is negative.
