What is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and executive functioning.

It can present differently in different people; some may experience constant restlessness or difficulty focusing, while others struggle with emotional regulation or task initiation.

At IMPACT, we recognize ADHD not as a flaw or deficit, but as a difference in brain wiring that brings both challenges and strengths. Our approach is grounded in neurodiversity-affirming principles that honor individual variation and focus on building effective, compassionate strategies for everyday life.

IMPACT's Approach to ADHD Therapy

At IMPACT, we combine evidence-based clinical strategies with a deep respect for neurodiverse identities. Our work is collaborative, strengths-based, and attuned to the full complexity of each person’s experience.

In all our ADHD services, we prioritize creating a safe, shame-free space where clients can explore what works for them.

We draw on approaches including:

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To develop practical skills for managing distractibility, emotional regulation, and task persistence.
Mindfulness and Somatic Tools: To support regulation, reduce overwhelm, and increase interoceptive awareness.
Executive Function Coaching: To build systems that match your unique brain, not fight against it.
Therapeutic Assessment (TA): A collaborative model designed to clarify diagnosis and guide meaningful change, rooted in respect, curiosity, and client autonomy.
Family & Systems Work: For children and teens, we work with families to co-create routines and expectations that reduce shame and support growth.
