People with ADHD are highly intelligent and imaginative, deeply empathic, passionate, creative and quite gifted. Sometimes those gifts are unrecognized, misconstrued, judged, or even punished. Symptoms of ADHD are frequently overlooked or misinterpreted as other conditions such as anxiety or OCD. This misdiagnosis can lead to years of self-blame and criticism, with individuals wrongly attributing their symptoms to personal flaws or character traits. It's crucial to understand that ADHD is a neurobiological condition rooted in genetics and the central nervous system—it is not a deficiency. Our therapists are dedicated to assisting you in managing and overcoming the challenges associated with ADHD, empowering you to embrace self-acceptance, confidence, and fulfillment.
