For ages 16 and up. Also, open to therapists, coaches, parents, spouses and other family members.
With just one session with Manijeh, my relationship and communication with my daughter was completely transformed. Once we both understood how ADHD works in relationships and she was able to understand how my ADHD shows up, her constant judgement of me just dropped and no longer felt hurt about my not seeing or hearing her. We have entered a deeper level of understanding and love for one another.

Ways Private Counseling Can Transform Adult ADHD:

About Adult ADHD
As an ADHD adult you are brilliant, but you already know that. Even though it may not feel like it, you definitely are a responsible person and are able to be present and attentive. All you need is proper guidance and training.
There are perfectly good reasons that you ignore tasks, leave them unfinished, don’t put things back where they belong, act impulsively, lose interest, become bored, anxious, hyper-sensitive, have no sense of time, forget important things, and go from one thing to another unable to stick with tasks to the finish line.
No, it is NOT because you are lazy, crazy, don’t care, nor because you have a disorder.
Through years of work with thousands of clients, Dr. William Dodson, a psychiatrist, tells us the ADHD brain simply functions differently than the 80% – 90% of the rest of society who are “Neurotypicals.” For example, you become motivated, engaged, focused, and on top of things in 4-5 completely unique ways than others do. This can cause you to be hyper-focused or not engaged. There are several other differences that knowing them could change your life.
Most doctors and mental health professionals are not educated about these differences and treat ADHD according to old DSM paradigms. Unfortunately, most tips, including regular Mindfulness practices aimed to fix these issues fail as well, leaving the ADHD adult feeling hopeless and stuck.
The good news is you can change this through counseling that utilizes a unique method I have created to empower your own natural strengths, train your brain, transform your life and live in this neurotypical world with ease and success.
