At Life InSight, we offer both assessment and treatment of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as well as disruptive behavior disorders in children, teens and adults. While medication may be beneficial in certain cases, we offer evidence-based interventions to provide comprehensive support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been found to be beneficial for individuals with ADHD by equipping them with coping strategies and organizational skills. In addition to CBT, Parent Management Therapy (PMT) is a valuable program designed to empower parents through education and practical strategies to enhance their child's behavior.
ADHD & Disruptive Behavior Disorders
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood, typically diagnosed early and often persisting into adulthood. Individuals with ADHD may encounter struggles with issues such as concentration, following instructions, memory retention, organizational skills, and task completion. While individuals can struggle with focus or impulse control from time to time, children with ADHD don't naturally outgrow these behaviors. At times, treatment can be helpful when symptoms lead to difficulties at school, home, or in social settings.
Conditions addressed include:
Treatment
In addressing ADHD, a comprehensive approach often involves both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Parent Management Therapy (PMT). CBT serves as an effective treatment option for individuals with ADHD, offering coping strategies and skills for improved self-regulation. Addressing the prevalent anxiety among individuals with ADHD, CBT strategies target demoralizing thoughts, fostering resilience against negative perceptions and promoting emotional well-being. PMT is an integral component of behavior therapy for children, providing caregivers with insights into ADHD and positive responses to specific behaviors. Parent coaching and individualized counseling, especially for more challenging cases, offer valuable support. Additionally, engaging in activities that foster success, using calm discipline strategies, and establishing open communication with teachers enhance the overall effectiveness of behavior therapy for children with ADHD.
