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.

It depends on both the rapport between client and therapist, as well as the client's compliance with the strategies and homework given. It's best to see a provider who specializes in ADHD.
depends of the age of the individual seeking care and the support system available
Hi, Thank you for your question. CBT is a relatively short-term therapy that can take several weeks to months to be effective. It can help you learn to identify and change unhelpful behavior patterns and practice more helpful coping techniques. This approach doesnt focus much on past experiences, but it can help improve symptoms of depression, anxiety, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I hope this has been helpful!

Unable to answer that, it depends upon each person. There coping skills and so forth. A holistic approach is always best, good sleep, physical exercise, meditation management, and proper coping skills such as emotional regulation and using mindfulness coping skills.
It depends on the client, age of the client, and what specifically the client needs help with for ADHD, as well as motivation level of client.

Results come quickly. CBT typically yields benefits after only 12 to 15 one-hour sessions. However, most patients continue with CBT much longer, as it emphasizes long-term maintenance of coping skills and improvements
