ADHD Therapists in Reno, NV

When we experience stress and anxiety, our bodies & relationships can feel overwhelming. Therapy can be an investment into looking at what is getting in your way and examining the patterns of rumination and distress that no longer serve you.

Let’s be honest. You’re not happy with your life. You feel alone, like an outcast, and not welcomed by others. Despite your efforts, nothing has been able to change and you’re not sure why. It hurts.

You see them struggle in school, friendships, & the transition to adulthood. You’re concerned they may be too isolated, spending time in their room on their devices. Sometimes things get heated and they struggle with strong emotions. You want to help them, but you’re not sure how

Neurotherapy/Neurofeedback is a form of treatment that allows one to modify their brainwave activity to improve attention, reduce impulsivity, and control hyperactive behaviors. It utilizes an EEG to provide a person information about their brainwave activity and produce desirable changes.

Scientific studies also support Neurotherapy in the treatment of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, TBI, addiction, insomnia, psychosis, and bipolar disorder, as well as other Psychiatric and Neurological issues to achieve neuroplasticity.

It feels like you and your partner speak different languages. You make well-intentioned commitments, but struggle to follow through. This leads to frustration and resentment. You're always running late, and one of you feels burdened by needing to "pick up the slack" at home. Sometimes, ADHD makes it difficult for you to give your partner the attention and support that they need. To others, it seems like you have it all together. You recognize that this is because you're "masking," and everything falls apart when you get home. This struggle makes difficult to enjoy your time together. You've decided it's time to make a change.

It’s 8 pm the night before your work project is due, and the pressure is on. Your boss assigned this three weeks ago, and you kept telling yourself you had more time. Now, there are less than 12 hours to hand it in, and you haven’t even begun. But, rather than finally starting, you look for anything else to do. “The oven could use a deep clean,” you decide to yourself. You watch the clock tick, and your stress builds until you have no choice but to start, but by then, it’s too late to do it right. So you hand in the work late again, rushed and full of errors. You hate letting yourself and others down but don’t know another way.

(I currently have some limited immediate openings!) Counseling is a way to discover how we can live with our past, live in the present, and face an uncertain future daily. Most of us, given the time and information, and someone to talk with, could figure out how to manage the things that are challenging for us. Counseling helps us learn how to manage our emotions and find ways to face daily challenges. Through counseling we can learn the skills to manage our strong emotions, as well as have empathy for ourselves and others in dealing with tough life situations. I especially like supporting young children and their parents.
