Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Individual and group therapy is available for children and adults with ADHD. In both cases, our specialists work with you or your child to identify your treatment goals and give you the skills you need to overcome the challenges of daily living associated with ADHD. Children and teens have specific needs in behavioral therapy, and our therapy options can be tailored to each developmental stage. We teach learning techniques and skills to help youth overcome the challenges in schooling, friendships, and family relationships that are often associated with ADHD.

When treating young children with ADHD, we often recommend therapy that directly involves parents, either individually or in groups. We teach parents the necessary skills to support your child and improve your child’s behavior at home. These parenting skills can also help children and families get along better and reduce stress in the home.

If a medication such as Ritalin, Adderall, or Concerta is recommended to help control symptoms of ADHD, our psychiatrists will work closely with you to ensure proper use and monitor for any side effects.
