Do you or your child struggle with focus, organization, impulsivity, or hyperactivity?

ADD is an older term, now generally encompassed under ADHD, primarily referring to the inattentive presentation. Our experienced team is adept at diagnosing and treating ADHD across the lifespan, including:
ADHD in Children: Helping young ones navigate challenges in school, social settings, and home life.
ADHD in Adolescents: Supporting teenagers through academic pressures, social development, and the transition to adulthood.

Your Questions, Answered
What's the difference between ADD and ADHD?
Historically, ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) was used for individuals with primarily inattentive symptoms, while ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) included hyperactivity. The official diagnostic manual (DSM-5) now categorizes all presentations under ADHD, with specific types like “ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Presentation” or “ADHD, Combined Presentation.”
Can adults be diagnosed with ADHD?
Absolutely. Many adults were never diagnosed as children but continue to experience significant ADHD symptoms that impact their work, relationships, and daily functioning. We specialize in adult ADHD diagnosis and treatment, helping individuals understand their challenges and develop effective coping strategies.
Is medication always necessary for ADHD treatment?
Not always. While medication can be highly effective for many, especially stimulants, it’s just one component of a comprehensive treatment plan. Behavioral therapy, organizational coaching, lifestyle adjustments, and psychotherapy are also crucial. Our team will work with you to determine the best combination of treatments for your unique needs.
How can treatment help with daily struggles like organization or time management?
Our therapists provide practical, evidence-based strategies to improve executive functions often affected by ADHD. This includes developing systems for organization, time management techniques, planning skills, and strategies for reducing procrastination and improving task initiation. The goal is to build sustainable habits that make daily life more manageable.
