ADHD Treatment

We will utilize CBT in a much similar way to autism treatment. We will teach clients how to harness the power of their thoughts in order to change their behaviors. For clients with ADHD, challenges with impulse control, staying on task, time management, perfectionism, and emotion regulation can all be managed with a combination of changing thought patterns and using coping skills. Clients and the clinician will work together to identify triggers for off-task behaviors and aggression or emotional dysregulation and work on both avoiding those triggers and adapting to those triggers. We will teach clients how to utilize their energy in an appropriate way, and how to use behaviors such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relation, and mindfulness to stay connected to the task at hand.
