Welcome to Manhattan Psychological Services.
Healing Starts Here
Living with ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) can be challenging and impact every aspect of your life, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our dedicated team of therapists is here to help you find healing, hope, and happiness. With our personalized approach to ADHD treatment, you can regain control and lead a fulfilling life.
Understanding ADHD
What is ADHD?
ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. It impacts multiple areas of life, manifesting in problems with focus, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Everyday tasks like school, work, and relationships can become difficult to manage. ADHD is not just a lack of attention—it’s a holistic experience affecting your mind, body, and behavior.
Symptoms of ADHD
Imagine waking up already feeling behind on your to-do list. Your mind races, jumping from one thought to another, making it hard to focus. You start multiple tasks, but struggle to finish any of them. These feelings might be familiar if you have ADHD. Here are some common symptoms:
• Inattention: Difficulty paying attention to details, staying focused on tasks, or managing time. You may make careless mistakes, feel easily distracted, or lose track of what you’re doing.
• Hyperactivity: Restlessness and a constant need to move or fidget. Sitting still for extended periods—whether in a meeting, class, or even during dinner—can feel impossible.
• Impulsivity: Difficulty waiting your turn, interrupting others, or making decisions without thinking through consequences. You may act on a whim, struggling to control spontaneous urges.
If these symptoms resonate with you, know that you’re not alone. Recognizing the signs is the first step toward healing and reclaiming your life.
How We Can Help
Our Approach to ADHD Treatment
At Manhattan Psychological Services, we provide evidence-based therapies tailored to your unique needs. Our goal is to help you understand your ADHD, develop effective coping strategies, and find lasting relief. Here are some of the therapies we offer:
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps you challenge and reframe negative thought patterns. By replacing unhelpful thoughts with more positive ones, you can improve focus, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• Behavioral Therapy: Focuses on changing specific behaviors through goal-setting and rewards. This helps you establish better habits and routines for managing ADHD symptoms.
• Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Combines mindfulness with cognitive techniques to help you stay present and calm. Mindfulness practices can reduce impulsivity and improve concentration.
• Executive Function Coaching: Focuses on skills like planning, organizing, time management, and goal-setting. Coaches work with you to create strategies and tools to make daily tasks more manageable.
• Social Skills Training: Teaches effective communication, reading social cues, and improving relationships. You’ll practice real-life scenarios with your therapist to build confidence in social interactions.
