ADHD

ADHD is not just about inattention and hyperactivity. It also involves difficulties with executive functions, such as working memory, organization, time management, task initiation, task completion, and impulse control, and affects various aspects of an individual's life, including academic, social, and occupational functioning. Likewise, anxiety, frustration, low self-esteem and sadness often accompany ADHD.

As an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), Psychotherapist Melissa Gray specializes in diagnosing and treating those with ADHD as well as educating others about the diagnosis and teaching effective strategies for home, work, and school. Ms. Gray firmly believes that while addressing ADHD challenges, it is crucial to recognize and nurture the strengths, such as: creativity; resiliency; problem-solving; strategic and entrepreneurial thinking; and hyper-focus, that individuals with ADHD often possess.
