ADHD Therapy
In Morris, IL
ADHD is about more than being distracted.
ADHD can affect organization, motivation, emotions, relationships, school, work and the ability to follow through—even when you genuinely want to. You may know exactly what you need to do and still struggle to get started. Small tasks can suddenly feel enormous. You may procrastinate until pressure kicks in, become overwhelmed when too many things compete for your attention, or wonder why things that seem easy for other people require so much effort from you. For teens, these challenges can affect school performance, confidence, friendships and relationships at home. At Authentic Counseling and Therapy in Morris, IL, we provide therapy for teens and adults experiencing ADHD-related challenges.

Ready to get started?
Therapy isn't about telling you to “try harder” or handing you another planner. We can work together to identify the specific places ADHD is interfering with your life and develop strategies that fit the way you actually function. That may include work around emotional regulation, coping skills, overwhelm, routines, selfawareness, anxiety, self-esteem and patterns of self-criticism.
