Therapy | ADHD Information

Hi All.

I hope you don't mind my asking questions in regard to my 20 year old son.  He is having quite a struggle maneuvering early adulthood.  He has entered counseling and has been going for the last 5 or 6 weeks.  I contacted the group because it was known to be well versed in ADHD.  My son and the therapist are not clicking.  Does anyone have any advice in finding a good therapist who understands ADD? 

Hi,

I agree with understimulated. In college I was
referred to a child psychologist for ADHD. I was
diagnosed with ADHD as a child and at that time it
was thought that children would outgrow it. I realized
that was not the case during college. The child
psychologist that I saw helped me tremendously and
I shudder to think how things would be if I had not
sought help.

Good Luck!!!

I have been told that the best chance to find a good doctor or one that specializes in ADD is that you should seek a child psychologist even if your son is technically an adult as they are well versed on ADD and ADHD matters.

Good luck!

 I got lucky with my therapist.

she has aDHD herself and is/was very inspiring to me.

we would laugh alot during our sessions.

Someone who believes in and specializes in adhd treatment is a must.

Unfortunatly i don't know how you would go about that.

If he doesn't like his therapist than he shouldn't bother going.

I'm not much help here i suppose. best of luck.
