ADHD Therapy and Resources
Real-life strategy to reach your goals.
ADHD symptoms can often seem like something that everyone experiences. The classic symptoms can include hyperactivity, procrastination, not paying attention, and being late to events. Because so many people experience these things, it can seem confusing when people with ADHD are dealing with their own symptoms. However, with ADHD these symptoms are persistent and often debilitating.
We Understand ADHD.
There are two types of ADHD: inattentive and hyperactive. People with ADHD can present as either of these, or as a combined type. ADHD can lead to inability to pay attention to certain things, leading the people experiencing it to feel left out or behind. This can look like feeling rejected from peer groups because they are upset that you seemingly don’t pay attention to the things that they tell you, or feeling really behind in school because you can’t seem to pay attention.
Living with ADHD can feel incredibly isolating and lonely. It can make you feel deeply misunderstood as you try to function in a system that just wasn’t built to accommodate your needs. It can also lead to having a lot of fun, having a wide variety of talents and hobbies, and being able to excel in what you do. But managing these symptoms is made easier with a provider that can understand your needs.

Statistics Show
ADHD has a long way to go to be fully understood as a diagnosis. Because the research has primarily been on white male clients, there is still a lot to be understood about ADHD in other demographics. For example, ADHD is diagnosed at a rate of 2:1 in boys compared to girls. However, in adulthood, this diagnosis rate levels out to nearly a 1:1 ratio. Late diagnosis is much more common in women, but so is a missed diagnosis. This suggests that we still have a long way to go to make up for lost time on research for other demographics.
