While everyone feels worried or sad now and then, clinical depression and anxiety involve more persistent, excessive distress that disrupts daily life. Symptoms may include: 

• Loss of interest in fun
• Major appetite/sleep changes
• Feelings of sadness, guilt
• Trouble concentrating
• Thoughts of self-harm

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic condition often beginning in childhood but frequently continuing into adulthood. Hallmarks include difficulty sustaining focus, excessive activity levels, chronic disorganization and forgetfulness. Specific symptoms can involve:

• Limited attention span
• Excessive talking or motion
• Losing personal items
• Poor time management

Left unaddressed, these traits can negatively impact education, jobs, finances and relationships over time. Our ADHD specialists use medications and/or therapy to enhance concentration and teach lifestyle adaptation techniques to minimize disruption. We also guide clients in requesting appropriate accommodations.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops after exposure to intensely frightening events. Symptoms include:

• Unwanted memories or nightmares
• Avoiding related situations
• Heightened “fight-flight” reactions
• Outbursts, insomnia or isolation

Seeking help soon after trauma occurs optimizes success before PTSD becomes entrenched. Our treatments build coping skills for symptoms while processing memories in healthy ways. Medications can address associated depression or anxiety. We provide judgement-free settings for patients to speak openly and be heard so that over time, they regain feelings of safety and trust.
