Helping Kids Build Confidence, Manage Anxiety & Navigate School Expectations
(Best for ages 10 - 17)
“I Know My Child is Smart, So Why Are They Struggling?”
If you’re a parent of a child with ADHD (or traits of ADHD), you’ve likely heard the same feedback from teachers:
💬 “They’re not working to their potential.”
💬 “They need to focus more and stay in their seat.”
💬 “They rush through their work or don’t finish it at all.”
💬 “They’re capable, but they need to try harder.”
Meanwhile, your child is becoming more anxious, frustrated, or withdrawn. You see their self-esteem dropping as they struggle to keep up with expectations that weren’t designed for their brain.
👉 ADHD isn’t about intelligence—it’s about executive functioning. Kids with ADHD often know what they need to do, but struggle to do it consistently. The pressure to “do better” without the right support can lead to:
❌ Increased anxiety without knowing why
❌ Avoidance of schoolwork & responsibilities
❌ Feeling “lazy” or “not good enough”
❌ Shutting down or giving up too quickly
The good news? Action-oriented, Brief Solution Focused Therapy can help.
ADHD Therapy That Builds Confidence, Not Just Coping Skills.
How ADHD Therapy for Kids & Teens is Different
This is not just talk therapy—it’s structured, skill-building therapy designed to help kids understand their brain, manage emotions, and build systems that work for them.
📖 Worksheets & interactive exercises to make strategies concrete and easy to use.
🧠 Tools to reduce anxiety when expectations feel overwhelming.
🎯 Strategies for school, homework & motivation that actually fit their ADHD brain.
💡 Parent involvement so skills practiced in therapy translate into real life.
I’m a Licensed ADHD Specialist, Professional Counselor, and Special Education Teacher with over 15 years of experience working with neurodivergent kids. I know that ADHD isn’t just about focus—it’s about emotions, self-esteem, and learning how to work with your brain instead of against it.
Family Support: Extending ADHD Strategies to Home & School
When a child is struggling, it affects the whole family. Parents of kids in therapy can book family sessions to learn how to:
🏡 Transition ADHD-friendly systems from home to school
📚 Help kids who struggle with neurotypical reward systems (gold stars & stickers don’t work for every kid!)
🔄 Create school/home structures that reduce stress & frustration for everyone
These sessions focus on practical solutions so your child can build confidence, stay engaged, and develop real-life skills that work long-term.
What to Expect from ADHD Therapy for Kids & Teens
✅ Weekly & Biweekly therapy sessions (covered by insurance: United Healthcare, Aetna, Optum Live and Work Well EAP)
✅ In-session worksheets & exercises (no extra homework—just hands-on learning!)
✅ Action-oriented strategies to reduce anxiety, improve executive function, and build confidence

Helping Kids with ADHD Feel Capable, Confident & Supported
Your child isn’t lazy, broken, or unmotivated—they just need a different kind of support. Therapy helps them understand their brain, develop resilience, and learn skills they’ll use for a lifetime.

Success Stories
What’s my clients say
Easily the best therapist I’ve ever had. She actually understands and reads my messages no matter when I send them, and then gives incredible feedback and sources to learn.
Victoria has been very active with me and my counseling. She offers a variety of goals, worksheets and writing prompts then takes the time to discuss everything with me. Very good with listening and offering different perspectives on situations. I feel comfortable confiding in her and opening up about things that are troubling me. I also love the spiritual aspect and working on meditation and mindfulness exercises.
Victoria has provided more insight into my life in a few short weeks than I’ve had from years of other therapy. I am in awe of how she is pinpointing things and allowing me to see things more clearly. I feel more hope than I have in a long time because of her help!
