Starting ADHD therapy in Media

What is ADHD therapy?

At Thriveworks, we offer ADHD therapy, which is an effective treatment for managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms such as inattention, inability to sit still, and lack of self-control. It can be used as an alternative to ADHD medication or used in tandem.

How does ADHD therapy work?

ADHD therapy works by using behavioral interventions — focusing on helping the individual develop organization skills, improve time management, and work on adaptive behaviors. A range of therapies are effective in helping people manage their ADHD and, sometimes, both individual and family therapy are important, particularly when the individual with ADHD symptoms is a child.

Symptoms of ADHD

Common symptoms of ADHD include:

  • Inattention and difficulty focusing on tasks
  • Impulsivity and acting without thinking
  • Hyperactivity or restlessness

Can ADHD develop as a coping mechanism?

ADHD is not a coping mechanism—but is instead affected by both genetics and environmental factors. The skilled therapists at Thriveworks in Media, PA know how to treat the unique triggers and stressors that may influence the severity of someone’s ADHD symptoms.

Can someone with ADHD lead a normal life?

Yes—many individuals with ADHD live successful, ‘normal’ lives. Individuals with ADHD are not abnormal.

What kind of therapy is best for ADHD?

Common approaches to ADHD therapy include medication management, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and parent training.

Is ADHD counseling conducted in person or online?

ADHD counseling is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability.

How long does ADHD counseling last?

The length of ADHD therapy can differ based on individual requirements and treatment objectives, spanning from a few weeks to several months or extending further, contingent on progress and personal needs.

Communication via text is great. Set up is easy and Desiree is amazing! . Unless therapist assigns the pre anxiety survey, maybe stop sending it. Not a big deal though.

Erin is amazing and has provided me an outlet that I wouldn't otherwise have. I am grateful for the notes she keeps (I can't follow my own head some days) and her genuine concern for what is happening in my life. I never feel judged or talked down to. I always feel better after a session and am thankful to have her, and Thriveworks!

Erin Sharkey is the best mental health professional I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She has an incredible ability to break down complex, traumatizing events into digestible pieces. And she goes above and beyond to explain what these events are or could be, how we can cope, and gives you every tool available to help. I look forward to every session I have with Erin.. . No improvement needed. What she does clearly works and is beyond helpful.
