ADHD

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder that is typically characterized by a lack of impulse control, an inability to focus and pay attention, and hyperactivity. ADHD most commonly emerges in children and teens and can continue into adulthood. In fact, ADHD is the most common mental health disorder diagnosed in young people and sufferers often have trouble paying attention in school. ADHD must be diagnosed by a qualified clinician. In addition to medical interventions, seeing a mental health practitioner who specializes in the treatment of ADHD can help patients and their families better cope with many of the symptoms.

— Sidrah Khan, Licensed Professional Counselor in Austin, TX

My approach to ADHD treatment recognizes the potential link between past experiences and the symptoms of ADHD, such as inattention or hyperactivity. It prioritizes understanding those ADHD symptoms in individual context, especially as previously adaptive strategies that can now be let go.

Whether you have a diagnosis or not, living with ADHD or what you think might be ADHD can feel like everyone got the memo for "how to life" except you. As someone with ADHD, I know how hard it can be to navigate a world not set up for you. Without creating systems and tools to set you up for success, it can feel like you're always one, two, or three steps behind. You are not broken, and together we can create those systems so you can thrive.

— Behavioral Health Clinic, Psychologist in Wausau, WI

People with ADHD typically don't get as much dopamine from daily tasks (brushing your teeth, showering, etc) as others. Daily life can become a slog when you're not getting enough dopamine. Your brain may compensate and "follow the dopamine;" you can find yourself immersed in enjoyable tasks that you're curious about. That's great, until it comes at a cost to your job, relationship(s), or responsibilities. Knowing your triggers and getting organized are key to your success. I can help with both.
