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.
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.
Common symptoms of ADHD include:
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.
Yes—many individuals with ADHD live successful, ‘normal’ lives. Individuals with ADHD are not abnormal.
Common approaches to ADHD therapy include medication management, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and parent training.
ADHD counseling is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability.
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.
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.
Additional symptoms of ADHD may include:
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.
ADHD can occur along with with other related conditions such as:
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:
If you or someone you know suffers from ADD/ADHD, the counselors at Thriveworks Amherst can help. The therapists at Thriveworks Amherst are trained and experienced in the treatment of ADHD and other associated problems and disorders. So, don’t let ADHD define you.
