ADHD Therapy in Ohio

No. Many of our clients come in suspecting ADHD without a formal diagnosis, and therapy can start there. If formal testing would be helpful — for accommodations, medication, or your own clarity — we can refer you to a psychologist or psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD assessment. Therapy and assessment are different services, and you don't need one to begin the other.

No — we're licensed therapists, not prescribers. Medication for ADHD is managed by psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, or sometimes primary care physicians. If you're considering medication or already taking it, we can work alongside your prescriber as part of your care team. Many clients find therapy and medication are most effective together.

Therapy doesn't "fix" an ADHD brain, and that framing isn't the goal. What therapy can do is help you build sustainable systems that fit how your brain actually works, develop self-compassion that breaks the shame cycle, and address the anxiety, depression, or trauma that often pile on top of unmanaged ADHD. Many clients report the biggest shift isn't fewer ADHD symptoms — it's a completely different relationship with themselves.

Yes. We work with adolescents 12+ on ADHD-related challenges including school stress, emotional regulation, peer dynamics, and identity. With teens, we collaborate with parents on a developmentally appropriate framework — confidential where possible, coordinated where helpful. We also see adults who are navigating their own ADHD alongside parenting, which is its own challenge worth taking seriously.
