ADHD: Supporting Focus and Thriving
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults, impacting everything from academic and work performance to relationships. At our clinic, we offer comprehensive support in Calgary and virtually for rural Albertans and evidence-based strategies to help individuals manage their symptoms and thrive.
Understanding ADHD
ADHD is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, but it can look different for everyone. Common symptoms include difficulty focusing, organizing tasks, following through on instructions, excessive fidgeting, and an overall feeling of restlessness. Some individuals may also struggle with impulsivity, interrupting others, or making quick decisions without considering the consequences. ADHD can manifest differently depending on age, gender, and environment, affecting approximately 5% of children and 2.5% of adults in Canada.
Our Approach to ADHD Treatment
We provide personalized therapy that focuses on practical coping strategies, improving organizational skills, and fostering emotional regulation. Techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are particularly effective in helping individuals with ADHD manage their symptoms. For parents of children with ADHD, we offer tailored guidance to help support their child’s development and manage challenging behaviors.
