Treating Attentional Difficulties

Attention and organization challenges can affect focus, planning, follow-through, and the ability to manage daily responsibilities efficiently. These difficulties may appear as distractibility, forgetfulness, procrastination, or trouble starting and completing tasks. While often associated with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), attentional and executive functioning problems can also arise in the context of anxiety, depression, trauma, or chronic stress.

Therapy and assessment can clarify the source of these challenges and support the development of effective coping strategies. Treatment focuses on improving self-awareness, building routines, and strengthening skills for time management, prioritization, and sustained attention. For some, therapy also addresses the self-criticism and frustration that often accompany these difficulties.

If you’re interested in understanding whether your symptoms align with ADHD or may stem from another cause, consider scheduling ADHD evaluation with our team.
