Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that can affect children, teens, and adults. It’s often marked by difficulties with focus, impulse control, organization, and restlessness. While many people with ADHD are energetic and creative, they may struggle with school, work, or relationships due to forgetfulness, distraction, or emotional regulation challenges. There are several types of ADHD, including inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined presentations, each with its own mix of symptoms. Left untreated, ADHD can lead to frustration, low self-esteem, and a sense of being constantly overwhelmed.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care offer personalized support for ADHD using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and executive functioning coaching. Therapy often focuses on building skills like time management, emotional regulation, and self-monitoring, while also addressing anxiety, shame, or family dynamics that may accompany ADHD. For children, therapists may incorporate play-based interventions or collaborate with schools. Adults might benefit from organizational tools and coping strategies tailored to their lifestyle. Clients exploring therapy for ADHD may want to ask about treatment plans that balance structure with flexibility and address co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression.

Support for ADHD is available through both in-person appointments across the Greater Denver Area and secure online therapy throughout Colorado. All Westside Behavioral Care providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance plans.
