Imagine your life is a filing cabinet with different files for each area: work, friends, family, faith, and hobbies.

Now imagine that someone keeps emptying your filing cabinet into piles on the floor. You kind of know where everything is, but it’s a lot more work to find what you’re looking for, so you procrastinate doing things, everything takes more time, and sometimes you make mistakes because, well, everything is in a pile. This is what ADHD is like. 

At Attention Therapy, we work together to find personalized systems to keep your filing cabinet organized, and give you the tools and support to pick up the papers with confidence and resilience. And when it gets messy, we’re here to help. 

Let's Talk
 
 

  • You’re likely here because life has become unmanageable. The expectation to juggle the demands of your professional and personal life in a way that doesn’t come naturally can make it feel like you’re constantly coming up short. Feeling like you’re not living up to your potential can lead to low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and a long list of symptoms that take the joy out of life. The trauma of living with misdiagnosed or undiagnosed ADHD is enormous, as is living with too much on your plate and a desire to be more in control of your time.

    The good news is that you don’t need to be good at everything. At Attention Therapy, we’re confident that you have unique strengths that we can capitalize on to help you find a sense of calm, purpose, and meaning that you desire.

    Together we’ll work to:

    • Identify challenges such as organization, time management, and distractions getting in the way of your success

    • Learn about ADHD and coexisting conditions such as learning difficulties, anxiety, depression, and addiction that get in the way of feeling your best

    • Identify strength-based strategies to navigate challenges with more ease and confidence

  • The drive to stay constantly connected can be the very thing that keeps us from authentic connection in our relationships. In a world where distraction is commonplace, adding an ADHD diagnosis can present even more challenges. Many of the symptoms of ADHD can be interpreted as being a bad partner, which is where psycho-education and tools for improved communication are helpful. By owning the role of ADHD in your relationship, you can figure out what priorities are negotiable so you can have a more joyful, respectful, and authentic connection.

    Together we’ll work to:

    • Understand the role ADHD plays in your relationship

    • Improve your communication and intimacy

    • Strategize for how to compensate for challenges in adulting, co-parenting, and retirement

    • Build a game plan with your partner so that you can anticipate future challenges

  • ADHD makes adjusting to transitions especially challenging. This is the case for both welcome and undesired changes, such as graduating from school, getting a promotion, or making a career pivot.

    At Attention Therapy, we provide support for newly employed, underemployed, newly promoted, and those who are struggling and feeling like they’re not reaching their potential at school or work.

    Career and educational support may look like coaching, with our therapists providing evidence-based strategies for managing ADHD so you can be more productive at school and work and happier in your personal life.

    Together we’ll work on:

    • Developing personalized tools and techniques to manage organization, time management, planning, and scheduling drawing on Executive Functioning Skills Training

    • An ADHD-informed strategy for how you go about an effective job search

    • When making the transition to college or back to graduate school, helping you create a manageable routine and study schedule that reflects a general work-life balance

    • Lifestyle modifications to support healthier living, including exercise, sleep, and risk management strategies

  • Parenting a child with ADHD and learning disorders can pose many challenges, especially when many of the symptoms are also simply qualities of being a kid. You may often feel like you don’t know what’s best for your child and keep second-guessing your decisions.

    With the support of a therapist at Attention Therapy, you can learn about the symptoms of ADHD, better understand how ADHD impacts your child, and how best to help them navigate demands at home and school.

    Together we’ll work to:

    • Provide psycho-education about ADHD & learning disorders (dyscalculia, dysgraphia, auditory processing, language processing disorder, nonverbal learning disabilities, Visual perceptual/visual motor deficit, tic disorders, and Tourettes) which often co-occur with ADHD

    • Navigate services, resources, and referrals (ex. specialists and formal accommodations, such as IEPS, 504 Plans)

    • Strategies and support to parent

  • As ADHD experts, we are a resource about best practices for treating neurodivergence. We provide consulting to schools, businesses, and organizations.

    Areas of Expertise:

    • Neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD, learning disorders) at school and in the workforce

    • Special education administration (IEP, 504 Plans for in-school accommodations)

    • Mental health awareness

    • Trauma and the intersection of mental health and Judaism
