ADHD

Counseling & Testing

Do you feel like you would be capable of great things if you could just “get it together” long enough?

Do you wake up feeling like you’re running behind on all the things you need to do, spend the whole day in high gear, then still go to bed feeling like you didn’t get done what you needed to?

Or, do you spend the whole day in a fog, constantly aware of all the things on that to-do list, but never mustering up the motivation to get started in earnest?

While everyone occasionally encounters these feelings and symptoms, people with ADHD often find the quality of their life & relationships impaired:
