ADHD

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.

— Abigail Leedy, Associate Clinical Social Worker in Peachtree City, GA, GA

Have you been labeled as anxious, unorganized, unfocused, chronically late, off in your "own world", a procrastinator? But because you've developed successful coping tools, no one has thought to assess you for ADHD? I have many clients who've experienced great relief & a release of self judgment with the correct diagnosis & treatment choices! Being neuro-atypical also offers not only challenges but strengths that I explore with my clients, using evidence-based therapies.

— Joyce Luna Zymeck, Psychotherapist in Tucson, AZ
 

Sometimes, therapists do not have an in-depth understanding of the best way to help adults and teens with ADHD because ADHD is different from other conditions we treat. Due to being diagnosed late in life myself, I decided to dive into the research and better understand how to help those with ADHD because there is such a lack of understanding in the field. I combine my lived experiences with evidence-based practices to help you increase your quality of life with your brain style in mind.
