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.
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.
Common symptoms of ADHD include:
ADHD is not a coping mechanism—but is instead affected by both genetics and environmental factors. The skilled therapists at Thriveworks in Richmond, VA know how to treat the unique triggers and stressors that may influence the severity of someone’s ADHD symptoms.
Yes—many individuals with ADHD live successful, ‘normal’ lives. Individuals with ADHD are not abnormal.
Common approaches to ADHD therapy include medication management, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and parent training.
ADHD counseling is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability.
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.
Do you suffer from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? ADHD can make you feel overwhelmed, distracted, and impulsive — like you’ve lost control of your life. The good news is you can regain control. Reach out to Thriveworks Richmond to schedule an ADHD counseling appointment and get the support that you need.
Symptoms of ADHD can include:
These symptoms can make it difficult to live a happy and productive life, but you can learn how to manage them.
You’ll often hear these two terms used interchangeably. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention-deficit disorder (ADD) were once two different conditions, but they now refer to the same condition. ADHD is the current and preferred terminology.
Are you constantly late for work and social events? No matter how much of a head start you give yourself, you just can’t seem to to beat the clock. It’s important to realize this has nothing to do with laziness. Persons with ADHD are prone to distractibility and can easily lose track of time.
The good news is that you can learn to better manage your time. Part of the answer may lie in your pocket — your smartphone. Use your phone’s calendar to set reminders to alert you of upcoming events. Set two reminders: one a few days before the event and a second one an hour before the event. Technology can be a great tool for managing your ADHD, but take care that it doesn’t become another source of distraction.
For people struggling with the symptoms of ADHD, staying focused and organized can be difficult — but it can be done. Just because you have ADHD, it doesn’t mean you can’t still be productive and accomplish your goals. Let us help you bring your life into focus.
At Thriveworks Richmond, we believe your ADHD shouldn’t define you. You’re passionate, hard-working, creative — you deserve to live a calmer, more productive life. You can sharpen your focus on your relationships and on your work. You can become more mindful and enjoy being in the moment. We’re committed to helping you learn these skills and more. It’s time to stop struggling to keep up and start excelling.
