ADHD

What is ADHD, and how can it impact daily life?

ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, can make it tough to focus, stay organized, or manage impulsive behavior. For some, it also comes with a lot of energy and restlessness. These challenges can show up in school, at work, and in relationships, sometimes making day-to-day life feel frustrating or overwhelming.

Many people are diagnosed with ADHD during childhood, but it’s not unusual for adults to realize they’ve been living with it for years without knowing.

At The Mending Place PLLC, Dr. Smith understands how overwhelming ADHD can feel—but also knows that with the right tools and support, you can truly thrive.

What kind of support is available for ADHD?

At The Mending Place, support goes beyond a diagnosis. Dr. Smith offers counseling, behavioral therapy, and holistic wellness services to help manage ADHD in a way that works for you.

Whether it’s finding ways to improve focus, manage your time better, or stay more emotionally grounded, Dr. Smith works alongside you to build practical strategies while helping you recognize and build on your natural strengths.

What happens during the first ADHD consultation?

Before starting any kind of treatment, every new patient begins with a roadmap appointment. It’s a relaxed, one-on-one session held securely online.

During this visit, Dr. Smith takes time to learn about your health history, talk through your goals, and get a sense of what’s working well and where you might need support. From there, she creates a customized plan that fits your life and what you’re hoping to achieve.

What therapy options are offered for ADHD?

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. Therapy at The Mending Place might include tools like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to build stronger coping skills or mindfulness practices to help you stay focused and reduce stress.

If your child or teen has ADHD, Dr. Smith also provides parent coaching, offering guidance on how to create helpful routines and build positive, supportive communication at home.

Do I have to take medication for ADHD?

Not necessarily. While medication can be helpful for some people, it’s not the only option. Dr. Smith focuses on non-medication approaches like talk therapy, coaching, and holistic care. If you’re curious about whether medication might help, she can refer you to a trusted provider who specializes in that area.

If you or your child is showing signs of ADHD, taking the first step can bring real relief and clarity.
