Associates in Professional Counseling offers treatment forchildren and adults dealing with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We treat problems with impulse control, ruminations, organizational skills, time management and hyperactivity. We also identify and treat related conditions such as depression, anxiety or obsessive compulsive traits. Whether it is an adult, a child or a parent, we strive to help clients to understand and better manage the difficulties that can come with ADHD. We work with physicians for medication management.
In the past ADD and ADHD were believed to be outgrown after childhood, because traditional symptoms of impulsivity, hyperactivity, attention and organizational problems seemed to diminish. Recent finding reveal developmental maturation of the brain after adolescence provides more flexible coping mechanisms to compensate for the neurological deficits of ADD. However, for adults diagnosed as children (and adults diagnosed for the first time), they are still working exponentially harder than others to accomplish general life tasks. Our programs work to help maximize potential while reducing distress.
