ADHD Therapy

What Is ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are behavioral conditions that are usually identified in childhood. They are characterized by symptoms such as difficulty holding attention, impulsive actions, and, in some cases, overactivity.

While these symptoms often occur together, they can also occur independently.

Symptoms of hyperactivity usually become noticeable by age seven, but can be seen in preschool children as well. ADHD is not only seen in children. In many people, symptoms persist into adulthood. In adults, ADHD can manifest as difficulties with time management and organization.

Symptoms of ADHD include:

• Failure to pay attention to detail
• Making careless mistakes at school or work
• Difficulty paying attention
• Difficulty following instructions
• Trouble organizing
• Dislike participation in tasks that require sustained mental effort
• Losing things often
• Forgetful in day-to-day tasks

ADHD symptoms can vary, and not everyone experiences all of them. A diagnosis typically requires the presence of at least six symptoms over six months. If you suspect you might have ADHD, consult a therapist for a thorough evaluation.

Therapy for Adults With ADHD

Our therapists utilize a grounded and body-based approach for adults wanting more clarity, focus, and self-trust. With the Sovereign Body Method you will be able to create the internal conditions where focus can emerge naturally.

Our top therapists at Evolve Therapy & Counseling can help you:

• refine your nervous system to be able to slow down
• increase present moment awareness
• build capacity for stress and required attention
• respond intentionally, instead of impulsively

Our therapists have helped countless clients achieve a more grounded and regulated state, resulting in increased ability to slow down and focus.

After achieving internal regulation and learning to use your feelings for guidance, your therapist can use the following interventions to further your progress.

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT can help you reframe unhelpful thinking patterns
• Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT): REBT can help you challenge your negative beliefs about yourself.
• Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT): Learn how to change your internal narrative to a more compassionate and understanding one.

Our approach is always regulation and body-based first. The goal is to create safety and release tension in the body before any cognitive work is done.
