Hi, creative and somatic therapies can be incredibly effective for working with neurodivergence. That being said, it can be crucial to find a provider who is neurodivergent affirming and understands how to work with ADHD. The length of treatment depends on your unique goals and needs. If you are in the United States then you can search for a provider who is licensed in your state. If you are within California - I have availability to accept new clients - please visit www.sylvansart.com for more information and to contact me directly.
Hello! Thank you for tour question! Yes, Psychotherapy can absolutely improve symptoms for ADHD. Much of the therapy would be behavior-based, and would focus on creating more structure in the environment and the behavior. This can be done through avenues such as contingency plans and reward systems.

Yes, psychotherapy and/or counseling have proven to help clients better manage their ADHD.
ADHD when managed can be a positive part of a clients life. However, it is important to learn how to manage ADHD in a healthy way and this is typically achieved through therapy in conjunction with or without medication depending on the severity of the ADHD and client beliefs concerning medication.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is essentially brain training for ADHD. It is a short-term, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that aims to change negative patterns of thinking and reframe the way a patient feels about herself and her symptoms of ADHD
