ADHD
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is characterized by symptoms such as difficulty sustaining attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. It can significantly impact your daily life, affecting academic performance, work productivity, and relationships. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications and behavioral therapies. Whether you are a parent of a 5-year-old or an adult needing to talk to someone about treatment options, we can work together on a treatment plan.
Depression
Depression in children, adolescents, and adults is a serious mental health condition that can manifest as persistent sadness, irritability, change in sleep patterns, and withdrawal from activities. Early recognition and intervention are essential to prevent long-term consequences on a child’s emotional and social development. In adults, treatment prevents lost days from work and damage to important relationships. Treatment options often include a combination of psychotherapy, supportive family interventions, and medication. I will work with you to find a treatment that will help lessen the feelings of depression.
Anxiety
Children or adults with anxiety often experience exaggerated fears or worries about specific situations or objects. They may have a pervasive sense of unease without a clear trigger. These anxieties can impact their academic performance, social interactions, and overall well-being if left untreated. Treatment for childhood anxiety involves a combination of therapies to help children recognize and change anxious thoughts and behaviors. Medication can be considered for severe anxiety and is used in conjunction with therapy. The first step in treatment involves a thorough evaluation to assess the nature and severity of the anxiety disorder. This will include discussing symptoms, medical history, and any contributing factors. We will work together to find a treatment that helps lessen symptoms and improves your functioning and quality of life.
