Therapy for ADHD in Ontario
Understanding ADHD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect focus, organization, impulse control, and emotional regulation. It occurs in both children and adults, though the signs can look different at each stage of life.
While ADHD presents challenges, it can also come with unique strengths, such as creativity, problem-solving skills, and high energy. Therapy can help you manage the difficult aspects while building on your strengths.
Common Experiences of ADHD in Adults
Adults living with ADHD may notice:
- Trouble focusing or completing tasks
- Difficulty organizing time, priorities, or responsibilities
- Feeling restless or impulsive
- Forgetfulness or frequent distractions
- Emotional highs and lows
- Challenges in work, school, or relationships
These experiences can vary from person to person. Some may have primarily inattentive symptoms, while others have more hyperactive or combined presentations.
How Therapy Can Help with ADHD
While medication can be a helpful part of ADHD treatment, therapy offers tools and strategies for managing symptoms in daily life. ADHD-focused therapy can help you:
- Improve time management and organizational skills
- Strengthen emotional regulation and impulse control
- Develop personalized strategies for focus and productivity
- Build self-esteem and confidence
- Improve communication and relationship skills
