ADHD

ADHD is a condition that is present across the lifespan and affects children, adolescents, and adults. It often impacts social, academic, and occupational achievement. When you have ADHD, you may struggle with organization, paying attention to details, as well as finding yourself being easily distracted. If you have a child with ADHD, they may struggle to wait their turn or sit still. They may act without thinking about the consequences. Homework may be a dreaded nightly battle, or you may find yourself wondering how they could have misplaced yet another jacket or hat. Often individuals with ADHD want to do well but struggle to follow through with tasks and have trouble following instructions. Because of this, they are sometimes labeled as defiant, oppositional, or "lazy", despite their efforts to be successful.

At Empowerment Counseling, we will work with you, your child, or the family to identify areas of concern in order to improve daily functioning. Treatment focuses on building organizational and planning skills, as well as helping individuals think through their actions and choices before they make them. We also help families navigate how environmental modifications to their daily life at home, work, and/or school can help them be more successful.
