ADHD
ADHD isn’t about laziness or lack of discipline—it’s a neurodevelopmental difference that affects attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation, often leaving people feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, and frustrated despite trying their best.
ADHD Therapy for Adults and Young Adults
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, organization, impulse control, time management, and emotional regulation. While many people associate ADHD with hyperactivity in children, adult ADHD often shows up differently—chronic procrastination, difficulty starting or finishing tasks, racing thoughts, forgetfulness, emotional overwhelm, or feeling constantly behind despite working hard.
ADHD Treatment Using CBT and DBT
ADHD treatment for adults and young adults often focuses on building practical skills while also addressing the emotional impact of living with ADHD. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work on identifying unhelpful thought patterns (like “I’m lazy” or “I’ll never get this done”), improving time management and organization skills, reducing procrastination, and creating realistic, structured systems that support executive functioning. CBT for ADHD is action-oriented and helps translate insight into concrete behavioural change.
​
Alongside CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and impulse control—areas that many adults with ADHD struggle with but are often overlooked. DBT skills can reduce overwhelm, improve focus by calming the nervous system, and support healthier communication in relationships.
​
Together, CBT and DBT provide a balanced, evidence-based approach to ADHD therapy—targeting both the practical challenges (focus, productivity, follow-through) and the emotional experiences (shame, frustration, self-doubt) so you can build confidence and work with your brain rather than against it.
