Therapy for Children and Adults with ADHD
Learn coping skills, restore hope, and begin feeling better with personalized counseling support.

Understanding ADHD
​
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is more than trouble sitting still or staying focused — it’s a difference in how the brain manages attention, organization, and emotional regulation.
​
For children, ADHD might show up as restlessness, impulsive behavior, or difficulty completing schoolwork.
For adults, it can look like constant distraction, procrastination, trouble managing time, or feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities.
​
At Waterview Counseling Services, I provide therapy for children, teens, and adults with ADHD to help improve focus, confidence, and self-control — while reducing shame, frustration, and burnout.
​
ADHD in Children and Teens​
​
Children and teens with ADHD often feel misunderstood. They may hear “try harder” or “focus,” but what they need is support that fits their brains.
​
Therapy helps kids:
-
Learn self-regulation and coping skills
-
Build confidence and problem-solving abilities
-
Understand emotions and improve behavior at home or school
​
Parent sessions can also help you learn strategies to support your child, set consistent boundaries, and celebrate small wins together.
​
ADHD in Adults
​
Many adults with ADHD feel overwhelmed, forgetful, or “always behind.” You might struggle with motivation, time management, or staying organized — even when you know what to do.
​
Therapy helps you:
-
Identify your strengths and challenges
-
Create systems that work with your brain, not against it
-
Reduce stress, perfectionism, and shame
-
Improve relationships and work performance
-
​
Through therapy, you’ll gain tools to increase focus, follow-through, and confidence in your daily life.

How Therapy Helps with ADHD
Therapy doesn’t “cure” ADHD, but it helps individuals understand their unique brains and develop strategies to thrive.
​
Together, we’ll work on:
-
Improving attention and organization
-
Managing impulsive behaviors
-
Building emotional regulation skills
-
Strengthening relationships and communication
-
Reducing anxiety, frustration, and self-criticism
-
Creating structure and routines that actually work
​
My approach focuses on practical tools and positive reinforcement so clients can experience success in everyday life — at school, at work, or at home.
​
I use evidence-based, compassionate techniques tailored to each client’s age and needs, including:
​
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for ADHD
-
Mindfulness and grounding skills to reduce impulsivity and anxiety
-
Behavioral strategies and structure building
-
Executive function coaching for organization and time management
​
Every session focuses on helping you feel empowered — not overwhelmed — as you learn how to manage ADHD with practical skills and self-understanding.

​
Take the First Step Toward Focus and Balance
​
Living with ADHD can be challenging, but it doesn’t define you or your child. With the right tools, support, and understanding, it’s possible to create structure, reduce stress, and feel more in control.
