Teens with ADHD

Teens with ADHD may be struggling with motivation, organization, or planning. They are at an age where they so desperately want to be independent of their parents but need to build the skills that will enable them to succeed. When we work with teens, we help them improve their executive function skills such as time management, task initiation and completion, planning, prioritization, and emotional regulation.

We allow parents to get off the front lines and rebuild healthy and enjoyable relationships with their teens.

Types of work

We help teens learn to:

  • Keep track of their schoolwork

  • Learn how to avoid distractions so they can get their work done

  • Manage their time

  • Learn to organize and express their thoughts both verbally and in writing

  • Build their skills so they can do well in school and gain self-esteem

Strengthening underlying executive functioning

In preparation for leaving home, we help teens understand their brains better and strengthen their executive function. We teach teens how to build systems and workarounds for their challenges and learn to play to their strengths, so they can flourish at home and at school.
