Living with ADHD can affect focus, organization, time management, and relationships. Tasks may take longer than expected, deadlines can feel overwhelming, and conversations may veer off-track. For many people, these symptoms can lead to frustration at work, school, and home. If you’re seeking support for ADHD, Riverside Psychology can provide guidance with ADHD therapy in Fairfield, Connecticut, and help you develop tools to manage daily responsibilities with greater ease.
What Is ADHD?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts attention, impulse control, and executive function. ADHD presents differently from person to person. Some experience primarily inattentive symptoms, such as:
Difficulty focusing
Forgetfulness
Disorganization
Trouble starting or finishing tasks
Others notice more hyperactive symptoms, like:
Restlessness
Impulsivity
Interrupting others in conversation
Some individuals experience both inattentive and hyperactive symptoms. Many people live with ADHD for years without realizing these symptoms are treatable with ADHD therapy and the right support.
A Skills-Based Approach
Riverside Psychology takes the time to understand your unique strengths and challenges. We start ADHD therapy with careful assessment and an open conversation about your history, current concerns, and goals. Your ADHD therapist will create a treatment plan, develop strategies, and provide tools to support you in daily life. Sessions may include:
Building predictable routines
Improving time awareness and planning
Breaking large projects into manageable steps
Strengthening emotional regulation
Practicing communication skills for work and relationships
We draw on evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns, shift behavior, and reduce stress. ADHD therapy also addresses self-criticism that often develops after years of feeling misunderstood. With structure and accountability, many clients notice steady progress in productivity and self-trust.
