Skills for Everyday Demands
ADHD Support for Teens and Adults
A missed assignment or another unfinished task can lead to frustration long before anyone talks about attention. We make room for the effort behind those moments and work on skills that relate to school, work and home.
Who This Is For
ADHD support can suit teens and adults who feel overwhelmed by keeping track of tasks, shifting attention or managing strong emotions. Family friction may be part of the conversation, especially when reminders turn into arguments.
- Teens ages 13 to 17
- Young adults ages 18 to 25
- Adults ages 26 to 64
- Families facing repeated friction

What Can Shift
A conversation about a late assignment can include what got in the way, not just what went wrong. We practice ways to respond to frustration and make expectations more specific. Your effort deserves a place in that conversation.
What Sessions Look Like
During a 50-minute session, we may examine a school morning or work task and practice a skill you want to try. We discuss family participation when it relates to the concern.
Care is available in person in San Diego and by telehealth across California. Therapy focuses on support and skills; we can coordinate with a physician or psychiatrist when assessment or medication questions need attention.
Arranging ADHD Support
A free 15-minute phone consultation can cover your concerns, clinician fit, insurance and superbills. We are in network with many plans; coverage depends on your plan.
Fees in Brief
Individual, couples and family sessions are 50 minutes. We are in network with many plans and provide superbills for out-of-network benefits. Contact us for rates.
