ADHD therapy FAQs

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 Franklin, 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.

Therapy for ADHD: What Are the Signs and How Do I Get Help

Do you have a hard time staying focused? Do you start multiple projects but have a hard time completing any? Do you often feel distracted, impulsive and overwhelmed to the point that you feel your life is getting out of control? Then you may suffer from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). But there is good news. Help is available at Thriveworks Franklin, so you can have control of your life.

Symptoms of ADHD

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

Though the person with ADHD may not experience all of these symptoms, persistently experiencing more than one can have long lasting effects on their life. These symptoms can make it difficult to live a productive and happy life. With time, effort and professional guidance, this person can learn how to manage these symptoms and enjoy a life in which they are able to reach goals that were previously thought to be unattainable.

ADHD and ADD

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is often used synonymously with ADHD. More precisely, ADD manifests very similar symptoms to ADHD without the excessive activity level that can be associated with this disorder. It is possible that an ADHD diagnosis as a child will continue more accurately diagnosed as ADD in adulthood.

Difficulties in Time Management

People suffering from ADHD may find themselves continually late for work and social events. No matter how hard they try, it seems that the clock is always their enemy. This doesn’t mean they are lazy or thoughtless. What is true is that the person with ADHD is prone to distractibility that makes it easy to lose track of time. However, with effective counseling, skills can be learned that will helps organize time better. A competent counselor can help the person with ADHD better use devises that they may already own, such as a smartphone or laptop, in order to manage their schedule more efficiently. Helping to prioritize activities so that more important tasks are completed first, is a key component of time management.

Improved organizational skills can also 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.
