FAQs
Is ADHD therapy different from regular therapy?
Yes and no. We still talk about feelings and challenges, but we also focus on practical tools like routines, planning, emotional regulation, and focus strategies that fit the ADHD brain.
​
Can therapy help if I already take ADHD medication?
Yes. Medication can help with focus, but therapy helps you build skills, manage emotions, and handle daily life in a healthier way. Many people do best with both.
​
Does my child need an ADHD diagnosis to start therapy?
No. Many families come in before testing or diagnosis. Therapy can still help with focus, behavior, or emotional challenges.
