Understanding ADHD
It’s not just about distraction.
ADHD is more than restlessness or distraction—it’s a neurological condition that can shape how a person thinks, learns, and relates to the world around them. At Lifegrowth, we specialize in helping children, teens, and adults understand the root causes of their symptoms through in-depth evaluation and psychological testing. Whether you're navigating school challenges, workplace struggles, or relationship stress, our tailored treatment plans focus on long-term success—not just symptom relief.

ADHD Can Affect Every Area of Life
ADHD isn’t just about being easily distracted—it can impact relationships, work, school, and everyday responsibilities. Adults with ADHD might struggle with organization, time management, or follow-through, leading to difficulties in their jobs and relationships. For children, ADHD can create challenges in the classroom, affecting learning, social interactions, and family dynamics. Understanding how ADHD manifests in different areas of life is the first step toward finding the right solutions.
ADHD Can Look Like Other Issues
Many people don’t realize that ADHD symptoms overlap with other conditions, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or even medical and nutritional deficiencies. Forgetfulness, impulsivity, or difficulty starting and finishing tasks might not be ADHD at all, which is why accurate diagnosis is critical. At Lifegrowth, we take the time to assess executive functioning, neurological factors, and emotional health to ensure that treatment addresses the true root causes.
ADHD is Treatable Without a One-Size-Fits-All Approach
ADHD treatment should be tailored to each person’s unique challenges. While medication is one option, it isn’t the first or only approach at Lifegrowth. Our process starts with a thorough evaluation, including psychological testing, to identify the root causes of symptoms. We then craft an individualized approach which for adults may involve support to improve relationships and daily functioning - like time management, problem-solving, and memory - and provide compensatory strategies to help you strengthen these skills. For children, our child experts provide comprehensive treatment that addresses all areas impacted by ADHD, from family to school, behavior modification and social skills, parenting and nutrition.
