Starting ADHD therapy in Amherst

What is ADHD therapy?

At Thriveworks, we offer ADHD therapy, which is an effective treatment for managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms such as inattention, inability to sit still, and lack of self-control. It can be used as an alternative to ADHD medication or used in tandem.

How does ADHD therapy work?

ADHD therapy works by using behavioral interventions — focusing on helping the individual develop organization skills, improve time management, and work on adaptive behaviors. A range of therapies are effective in helping people manage their ADHD and, sometimes, both individual and family therapy are important, particularly when the individual with ADHD symptoms is a child.

Symptoms of ADHD

Common symptoms of ADHD include:

  • Inattention and difficulty focusing on tasks
  • Impulsivity and acting without thinking
  • Hyperactivity or restlessness

Can ADHD develop as a coping mechanism?

ADHD is not a coping mechanism—but is instead affected by both genetics and environmental factors. The skilled therapists at Thriveworks in Amherst, MA know how to treat the unique triggers and stressors that may influence the severity of someone’s ADHD symptoms.

Can someone with ADHD lead a normal life?

Yes—many individuals with ADHD live successful, ‘normal’ lives. Individuals with ADHD are not abnormal.

What kind of therapy is best for ADHD?

Common approaches to ADHD therapy include medication management, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and parent training.

Is ADHD counseling conducted in person or online?

ADHD counseling is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability.

How long does ADHD counseling last?

The length of ADHD therapy can differ based on individual requirements and treatment objectives, spanning from a few weeks to several months or extending further, contingent on progress and personal needs.

Need more help deciding?

Amherst, MA—ADHD Therapy

Do you or someone you know have difficulty staying on task?  Are you often distracted by simple, seemingly meaningless things? Do you frequently find yourself in the middle of multiple projects but have a hard time completing any of them? Many people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) suffer from these and similar symptoms. If this is you, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Amherst for ADHD help as soon as this week.

Symptoms of ADHD

Additional symptoms of ADHD may include:

  • Disorganization
  • Excessive activity
  • Impulsiveness
  • Frequent mood swings
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Restlessness
  • Problems paying attention

People with ADHD usually do not experience all these symptoms but will frequently experience one or more on a regular basis. This can have a significantly negative impact on their ability to function in everyday routines, both at work and at home.

Related disorders

ADHD can occur along with with other related conditions such as:

  • Oppositional defiant disorder (in children)
  • Sleep disorders
  • Restless legs syndrome
  • Learning disabilities
  • Mood disorders including depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder
  • Substance use disorder
  • Tourette syndrome
  • Hyper-vigilance
  • Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT)
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder

How Can ADHD Therapy Help?

Improved organizational skills can be effective mechanisms in managing symptoms and regaining control of one’s life. An experienced therapist can be very helpful to the person with ADHD develop these skills and learn strategies to maintain them. These skills may include:

  • Organizing one’s work area: Keeping tools and materials in the same place will help identify where an essential tool is when it is needed. This will be important in attempting to complete tasks in a timely manner.
  • Structuring the environment to minimize distractions: In order to maintain one’s attention to task, it is important to situate oneself in a position to limit visual and audible distractions. The use of music or “white noise” may be effective in minimizing distractive sounds.
  • Prioritize one’s work: Without ranking tasks in order of importance, the most recently presented job or activity is most likely to be attended to. Prioritizing assignments or responsibilities will help complete the more important ones first.
  • Use “To Do” lists: After work is prioritized, it is important to write them in order of priority. People are highly responsive to visual stimuli. Seeing our tasks in front of us will allow us to finish them more systematically and efficiently.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
