At Atwater Village Therapy, we recognize that ADHD can present unique challenges and opportunities. Our therapeutic approach is neurodivergent affirming, focusing on understanding each individual's experiences, tapping into their strengths, and building self-esteem.

Understanding ADHD

ADHD is often characterized by difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. However, it is also associated with many strengths such as creativity, resilience, and the ability to think outside the box. Our services are designed not only to help manage the challenges but also to highlight and enhance these positive traits.

ADHD Therapy

We offer personalized therapy focusing on:

  • Building Self-Esteem: Many adults with ADHD have experienced a lifetime of frustration and misunderstanding. Our therapy emphasizes recognizing your value, celebrating your strengths, and improving your self-image.

  • Tapping into Strengths: We help you identify and leverage your natural talents and abilities, which are often overshadowed by challenges associated with ADHD. This approach not only boosts self-esteem but also contributes to more effective symptom management.

  • Skill Development: Learning practical skills for managing symptoms of ADHD is crucial. This includes strategies for improving focus, organization, time management, and emotional regulation. We tailor these strategies to fit your lifestyle and work towards sustainable change.

  • Coping Strategies: Developing coping mechanisms to deal with stress and setbacks is another focus area. This helps mitigate the impact of symptoms on your personal and professional life.

Neurodivergent Affirming Approach

At Atwater Village Therapy, we understand that neurodiversity is a natural variation in the human brain and should be respected and celebrated. Our services are designed to affirm your identity and provide support that acknowledges the full spectrum of neurodivergent experiences. We aim to empower you to live a fulfilling life, recognizing and utilizing your unique neurological makeup.
