A Specialized Approach to ADHD (Free Resources)

We are always so excited to work with young men and teens with ADHD. There is so much opportunity for growth as people learn about the disorder and put to practice specialized skills. While there is an abundance of ADHD help content, it can be overwhelming for people who are trying to find what fits their needs. Our therapists support clients to understand the diagnosis and its impact on their life, and then learn skills that will enable them to reach their goals.

Part of our approach is to use specialized visuals to help people understand the impact of ADHD. Two of the resources we use early in therapy to build understanding of ADHD are copied below. The first (gears) visual demonstrates how the ADHD related difficulties can lead to an overwhelming amount of negative experiences that hurt someone’s sense of self. The second visual outlines the executive functions that ADHD undermines, preparing for a wider discussion on how ADHD may be affecting someone’s life. Often after going through these visuals clients have a moment of clarity that motivates them for the work of successful skill building.
