ADHD Therapy
Do You Feel Overwhelmed, Restless, or Frustrated?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) commonly affects both children and adults. ADHD presentation varies from person to person but is often characterized by difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity, and a busy or active mind, which can impact daily functioning and quality of life. These challenges can look different for everyone and often shift depending on life’s demands.
At Fancy Therapy, we offer ADHD therapy to help individuals manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives. Our therapists have detailed knowledge of the of the kinds of difficulties in everyday life that are experienced by those with ADHD.
Do any of the following resonate with you?
You often notice yourself fidgeting or moving around
Waiting can feel frustrating or difficult
There are times when motivation or attention comes and goes
You feel unable to do your day-to-day responsibilities
Your schedule keeps you busy with little time to pause or rest
You have a lot to manage and your forever growing "to do list" leaves you feeling completely overwhelmed
Misconceptions about ADHD can create blame or shame cycles based on the flawed idea that symptoms are a choice and everything would improve if the individual could just “get their act together.” ADHD symptoms can vary widely among individuals, and understanding these nuances is crucial for effective management.
Inattention often manifests as difficulty organizing tasks, frequent forgetfulness in daily activities, and a tendency to lose things necessary for tasks and activities. Hyperactivity may include behaviors such as excessive talking, an inability to engage in quiet activities, and a constant feeling of restlessness. Impulsivity can lead to making decisions without considering the consequences, which might affect social relationships and academic or professional performance.

How Does it Work?
While each therapist takes a unique and tailored approach, many use a blend of practical strategies and a therapeutic technique like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help individuals manage ADHD effectively. Our approach emphasizes understanding each client's unique needs and values, fostering a supportive environment to facilitate growth and change.
ACT is an action-oriented therapy that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty about them. It emphasizes mindfulness and values-driven actions, helping clients to focus on the present moment and commit to actions that align with their core values. This approach can be particularly beneficial for those with ADHD, as it helps in developing psychological flexibility and resilience. These approaches are often combined with tangible skills like:
Task Prioritization: Use tools like the Eisenhower Box to categorize tasks by urgency and importance, providing a clear roadmap for action.
Mindfulness Practices: Engage in mindfulness exercises to improve focus and reduce impulsivity. This can involve simple practices like focusing on your breath or observing your thoughts without judgment.
Time Management Techniques: Implement the Pomodoro Technique by working in focused bursts with regular breaks, which can help maintain attention and productivity.
Visual Aids: Use color-coded systems and visual reminders, such as wall calendars or color-coded files, to enhance memory and organization.
Self-Compassion and Positive Self-Talk: Practice self-compassion by acknowledging ADHD as part of your neurodiversity and celebrating small victories. Use positive affirmations to counter negative self-talk and build resilience.
Structured Routines: Establish daily routines to provide structure and predictability, which can help manage symptoms and reduce stress.
At Fancy Therapy, we are committed to creating personalized treatment plans that incorporate these strategies, ensuring that each client receives care tailored to their specific challenges and goals. Through a combination of ACT, person-centered therapy, and practical coping mechanisms, we aim to empower individuals with ADHD to thrive.
