ADD & ADHD

What is Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder? (ADD/ADHD) Is it a brain disorder? Is it true that people with ADD/ADHD "just can't help themselves"? Is medication really a healthy solution? Answers to these questions may surprise you.

Have you tried everything? I have over ten years experience helping individuals and families respond to this diagnosis. ADD/ADHD is over diagnosed while the symptoms are often the result of anxiety or trauma. Through my counseling practice, I teach new methods for parents to respond to their child's behaviors that can make the critical difference you're hoping for. Adult ADD/ADHD may require changes in lifestyle and commitment to neglected values.

If you are dissatisfied with the answers you've received regarding ADD/ADHD please call me for a consultation at 503-252-3739. General information about my counseling practice can be found at my home page. For more information on my work with adults and parents please click here.
