ADHD Support: Harnessing Your Unique Brain Power

Comprehensive support to help you or your child thrive with ADHD through understanding, skills, and strength-based interventions.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity levels.

ADHD manifests differently in each person and can include symptoms like difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, executive functioning challenges, and emotional regulation difficulties. While ADHD presents unique challenges, it also comes with strengths like creativity, energy, and innovative thinking.

THE TESS APPROACH TO ADHD SUPPORT

At TESS, we take a comprehensive, strength-based approach to ADHD that recognizes the unique gifts and challenges of ADHD brains.

Our trauma-informed perspective acknowledges that individuals with ADHD may have experienced chronic stress, criticism, or trauma related to their symptoms, which can compound difficulties.

We combine evidence-based therapeutic approaches with innovative interventions specifically designed for ADHD brains. Our treatment may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy adapted for ADHD, executive functioning coaching, social skills training, and specialized interventions like Interactive Metronome, Play Attention, and biofeedback.

We work with individuals, families, and, when appropriate, schools to create comprehensive support systems. For children and teens, we emphasize parent coaching and family therapy to help everyone understand and support the ADHD brain. For adults, we focus on developing practical strategies for work, relationships, and daily life management.

Our approach celebrates neurodiversity while providing practical tools for success. We help individuals understand their unique brain wiring, develop compensatory strategies, build on their strengths, and create environments that support their success. We also address any co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma that may be present alongside ADHD.
