Attention Deficit Disorder:

It is important to do a careful examination of symptoms when someone thinks they have ADD or if you suspect that your child has ADD.  Many of the ADD symptoms can also appear if something else is present - such as depression.  I will do a thorough assessment to help determine if the symptoms can be managed by learning skills to compensate or if a medication evaluation is required. Always with ADD, skills to be more effective at  life tasks is absolutely essential. There is no reason to have the symptoms interfere with your life. Many people with ADD really excel in certain areas and it’s important to be focused on using your strengths. In therapy we will work on minimizing the negative impact of ADD on your life and finding ways for you to be successful. Some people report that relationships can be challenging with ADD and we will work on how to develop satisfying connections
