ADD/ADHD Counseling

Support for Teens Navigating Attention and Focus Challenges

Adolescence is a time of rapid change, increasing academic expectations, and growing social pressures. For teens with ADD or ADHD, these demands can feel overwhelming. My specialized therapy services are designed to help teens understand their symptoms, build effective coping strategies, and gain confidence in their ability to thrive at home, in school, and in relationships.

  • Reducing impulsive reactions
  • Building self‑awareness and self‑control

3. Behavior and Habit Support
