Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects both children and adults and often shows up as challenges with focus, organization, and impulse control. But ADHD is more than just being “easily distracted” — it’s a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts how the brain manages attention, emotions, and daily routines. At Stokes Counseling and Consulting, we help clients understand ADHD not as a limitation, but as a different way of thinking that can be supported with the right tools and strategies.

Common Symptoms of ADHD

While symptoms vary from person to person, some of the most common signs of ADHD include:

• Difficulty focusing or staying on task

• Trouble organizing daily activities or managing time

• Forgetfulness or losing items frequently

• Impulsivity or acting without thinking

• Restlessness or feeling “on the go”

• Struggling to follow through on instructions or complete projects

• Emotional sensitivity or frustration tolerance

• Difficulty sitting still, especially in structured settings (more common in children)

Our ADHD therapy services focus on building awareness, strengthening executive functioning skills, and developing personalized strategies for focus and organization. Whether you’re a parent seeking help for your child or an adult navigating ADHD at work or home, our team provides compassionate, evidence-based support to help you thrive.
