ADHD Assessment
Why assessments matter: The ADHD brain is different. Neurochemically, the ADHD brain has lower levels of dopamine and norepinephrine. The result of this chemical difference impacts executive function and self-regulation skills that in turn impact the ability to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, juggle multiple tasks successfully and regulate emotions. Identifying ADHD is the first step to improving quality of life. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, support can begin.
At Matter Therapeutic Group, our clinical diagnostic evaluation to assess for ADHD is a multifaceted process that includes a complete health history, input from others, multiple rating scales and the exploration and impact of symptoms throughout the lifetime. Our assessments are conducted by licensed mental health clinicians specializing in the assessment and treatment of ADHD.
Therapy
Why therapy matters: Therapy doesn’t impact the neurochemical aspects of neurodiversity. Instead, therapy helps neurodivergent individuals better understand their brains and the unique ways in which their brains work. In addition, therapy helps find balance and an understanding of the consequences that can stem from being neurodivergent. Therapy can help build self confidence and self worth, improve communication and relationships, and supports individuals and families working towards positive change.
Matter Therapeutic Group offers individual, couples and family therapy to help combat the struggles of being neurodivergent. We focus on building upon strengths unique to the neurodivergent brain and work to develop scaffolding for areas of struggle.
Medication Management
Why medications matter: Medication helps bridge the gap between intention and action by targeting the underlying neurochemical imbalances of dopamine and norepinephrine associated with ADHD. This leads to an improvement in overall daily function and emotional regulation. Medication can also help optimize outcomes of therapy and lifestyle coaching.
At Matter Therapeutic Group we recognize that ADHD rarely travels alone. We also offer medication management of anxiety and depression.
Support Groups
Why groups matter: Support groups provide connection and foster a sense of community. Both of which are often missing for neurodivergent individuals and families. Connection stems from discussing shared experiences, providing emotional support and offering practical advice and coping strategies. Most importantly, support groups foster hope and inspiration and provide a sense of belonging.
Matter Therapeutic Group offers regular and ongoing support groups focused on ADHD, parenting and addiction. Please contact us for information about current and future support group opportunities.
