Living with ADHD can be challenging, whether you’re a child, adolescent, or adult. At Layers Counseling Specialists, we provide expert, compassionate ADHD therapy designed to help you or your loved one navigate the unique challenges of ADHD, improve focus, and thrive in everyday life.

What Is ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects individuals of all ages. It impacts focus, impulse control, and organization, which can create difficulties at school, work, and home. ADHD is not about "laziness" or "lack of motivation"—it's a brain-based condition that requires understanding and evidence-based care.

How ADHD Impacts Life

ADHD can manifest in different ways, including:

• Inattention: Difficulty staying on task, following instructions, or remembering details.

• Hyperactivity: Restlessness, fidgeting, and a constant need to be moving.

• Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, interrupting others, or difficulty waiting your turn.

These symptoms can affect relationships, performance in school or work, and emotional well-being. At Layers Counseling Specialists, we understand the complexities of ADHD and how it impacts every area of life.

Our Approach to ADHD Therapy

At Layers Counseling Specialists, we take a comprehensive, neurodiversity-affirming approach to ADHD therapy. Our therapists specialize in helping children, teens, and adults better understand their ADHD, embrace their strengths, and develop skills to manage challenges. We use evidence-based therapeutic methods, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps address negative thought patterns and develop strategies for improving focus, organization, and emotional regulation.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills: Teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation to help manage frustration and impulsivity.

• Skills Building: We focus on helping clients develop essential skills for managing the challenges of ADHD in their daily lives. These include time management, organization, goal-setting, and task prioritization. By building these practical skills, individuals can improve their ability to focus, complete tasks, and navigate work, school, and personal responsibilities with greater ease.

• Parent Education: Offers guidance to parents on how to best support their child with ADHD, reduce conflict, and foster a positive environment at home.

• Mindfulness-Based Approaches: Encourages clients to become more aware of their thoughts and behaviors to develop better control over attention and impulses.

Who Can Benefit from ADHD Therapy?

ADHD therapy is beneficial for:

• Children: Struggling with focus, hyperactivity, and emotional regulation at school or home.

• Teens: Dealing with academic stress, peer relationships, or the transition to high school or college.

• Adults: Managing work, relationships, or daily responsibilities while dealing with ADHD symptoms.

• Caregivers/Parents: ADHD therapy can help parents build their own coping skills and receive support while learning how to best help their child. By creating a supportive home environment, they can reduce stress and foster their child’s success.

Whether you or your child has recently been diagnosed or has been living with ADHD for years, our therapists are here to help.

Untreated ADHD and Co-Occurring Conditions

Untreated OCD can lead to increased anxiety, depression, and isolation. Many individuals with OCD also struggle with co-occurring conditions such as:

• ADHD

• Autism Spectrum Disorder

• Eating Disorders (ARFID, Bulimia Nervosa, Anorexia Nervosa)
