We know that ADHD doesn’t just affect a child—it affects the entire family. That’s why we take a holistic approach, working closely with parents, teachers, and the child to help improve focus, behavior, and emotional balance. We combine behavioral therapy, skill-building, and medication management when needed, all with the aim of helping kids thrive at home, in school, and in their friendships. Our goal is to make sure children and their families feel understood and supported every step of the way.
Our ADHD management program is built around the unique needs of each child. We understand that no two children are the same, and therefore, treatment should be personalized. By assessing each child’s specific challenges and strengths, we develop a comprehensive care plan that includes behavioral strategies to manage impulsivity and hyperactivity, as well as social skills training to enhance communication and peer relationships.
Collaboration is at the core of our approach. We work with parents to develop strategies that create a structured, positive home environment. Teachers and school staff are also part of the team, ensuring that classroom accommodations support the child’s learning and help them succeed academically. Together, we create an environment where the child can grow with confidence, knowing they are capable and supported.
Our services include regular family sessions that provide education on ADHD and its effects, helping parents and siblings understand the condition better. We believe that family involvement is crucial in maintaining consistent routines and reinforcing positive behaviors. These sessions also offer a space to address any concerns or frustrations, building healthier family dynamics.
We also utilize evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help children understand their thoughts and feelings, which in turn helps manage their behaviors. When appropriate, we offer medication management, focusing on finding the right balance to minimize symptoms while allowing the child to be themselves. Our clinicians work closely with each family to monitor progress and make adjustments as necessary.
Ultimately, our goal is to empower children and adolescents with ADHD to build resilience, foster emotional balance, and improve focus, all while supporting the entire family unit. We’re here to provide the tools, guidance, and encouragement needed for long-term success, both in and out of the classroom. At Mercy Health and Counseling, we are committed to helping every child reach their full potential.
