Compassionate ADHD Therapy for All Ages
Welcome to Bright Potential Counseling – Your Trusted Source for ADHD Treatment/ADHD Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Support
Living with ADHD can feel really frustrating and overwhelming.
You might have a hard time staying focused, even on things you want to do. Tasks that seem simple for others—like paying bills, keeping your space organized, or remembering appointments—can feel exhausting. You may get distracted easily, forget what you were doing, or start things but struggle to finish them.
These challenges can make you feel like you’re lazy or not trying hard enough, even when you’re doing your best. Many people with ADHD also feel emotions very strongly, which can lead to outbursts or feeling upset more often than others.
These struggles can affect school, work, and relationships. You might miss deadlines, get behind on projects, or have trouble following through on your goals.
Others may not understand what you're going through and think you’re careless or unmotivated, which can be hurtful. As an adult, managing daily life—like parenting, working, or keeping track of money—can feel like too much at times.
Over time, this can lead to stress, anxiety, or feeling bad about yourself. But ADHD isn’t your fault, and you’re not alone. With the right kind of help, you can learn skills that make everyday life easier and feel more in control.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by distractibility, procrastination, or emotional outbursts, you’re not alone. At Bright Potential Counseling, we understand how challenging life with ADHD can be—and we’re here to help. If you are looking for an ADHD therapist to provide treatment for ADHD, our dedicated team provides compassionate, evidence-based care for teens and adults.
Personalized ADHD Treatment for Teens and Adults
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) and what some people call ADD (the inattentive presentation of ADHD) affect people in unique ways. That’s why our ADHD therapy services are completely tailored to your needs.
Whether you're seeking adult ADHD treatment or care for your teen struggling in school, we work with you to build a personalized plan designed to help you thrive.
At Bright Potential Counseling, we go beyond just managing symptoms—we help you develop long-term strategies to succeed in real-life situations.
Co-Occurring Disorders with ADHD
DHD often occurs alongside other mental health or developmental conditions. Common co-occurring disorders include:
Anxiety disorders (such as generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety)
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) (more common in children)
Learning disabilities (like dyslexia or dyscalculia)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Bipolar disorder
Substance use disorders
Sleep disorders
Tic disorders (such as Tourette's syndrome)
Identifying and addressing co-occurring conditions is an important part of effective ADHD treatment, as these challenges can impact how symptoms show up and how best to support each individual.
Assessment and Goal-Setting: Your journey begins with an in-depth understanding of your experience with ADHD. We explore your history, current challenges, and goals.
Whether you’re a parent seeking ADHD therapy for your teen, or you're an adult navigating ADHD at work or home, we meet you where you are. Here's what ADHD therapy typically looks like with us:
What to Expect from Your ADHD Therapy Sessions
Cognitive Restructuring: You’ll learn how to reframe negative self-talk (e.g., "I’m just lazy") into empowering beliefs that support growth and motivation.
Homework & Accountability: Between sessions, you’ll be encouraged to try new strategies, then reflect on what worked and what didn’t, allowing us to refine and adapt your plan together.
Practical Skill Building: From improving time management and focus to handling emotional outbursts or procrastination, your therapist will walk you through skills and tools you can use every day.
Routine Building & Organization Strategies: Especially helpful for adults and teens, you’ll work with your counselor to develop routines, calendar systems, and organization habits tailored to your life.

ADHD Cognitive Therapy (CBT)
One of the most effective treatments we offer is cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD. CBT helps you better understand your thinking patterns and behaviors—and how to change them.
In ADHD cognitive therapy sessions, you will:
Identify and shift negative thought patterns
Practice mindfulness to stay grounded and focused
Learn how to manage stress and anxiety
Improve task initiation and follow-through
Whether you're searching for ADHD cognitive therapy or structured support like executive functioning coaching, CBT can be an effective approach.
Inattentive ADHD Therapy
Do you often feel spacey, forgetful, or unmotivated? You may benefit from inattentive ADHD therapy—especially if you or your child appears quiet, distracted, or easily overwhelmed.
People with inattentive type ADHD often struggle with staying focused, remembering details, and completing everyday tasks—but their challenges can be easy to overlook. Because they may not be hyperactive or disruptive, others often don’t realize how much they’re struggling inside.
You might be labeled as “daydreamy,” “unmotivated,” or “just forgetful,” rather than someone dealing with a real, medical condition. This can make it even more frustrating and isolating, because the support and understanding you need aren’t always there. Even teachers, coworkers, or family members may not recognize that what you're experiencing is actually ADHD.
The symptoms of inattentive type ADHD can be just as hard—if not harder—than other types, even though they’re often more invisible.
Constantly losing track of tasks, forgetting appointments, missing details, or zoning out during important conversations can lead to serious problems in school, work, and relationships. You may feel like you're always playing catch-up, trying to stay organized or get things done while others seem to manage just fine.
The mental effort it takes to function day to day can be exhausting, and when mistakes happen, it can lead to guilt, anxiety, or feeling like you're failing. But with the right help, these patterns can change—and life can feel more manageable, productive, and empowering.
We’ll help you:
Strengthen working memory
Increase motivation and task completion
Develop personalized systems for attention and focus
