At Living at Reflections, we offer specialized, trauma-informed care for adults with ADD and ADHD. Our clinical team understands the unique challenges these conditions create and provides a supportive, individualized treatment plan that helps clients regain focus, emotional balance, and a sense of control over their daily lives.

Whether a client has been diagnosed previously or suspects they may be living with ADD or ADHD for the first time, our approach offers clarity, stabilization, and an empowering path forward.

⭐ Understanding ADD & ADHD in Adults

ADD and ADHD present differently in adults than they do in children. Symptoms may be subtle, internalized, or masked by compensatory behaviors such as perfectionism, overachievement, avoidance, or chronic multitasking.

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) often involves:

• Difficulty focusing

• Mental fog or daydreaming

• Slow processing speed

• Disorganization

• Forgetfulness

• Trouble following through

• Low motivation or “freeze” responses

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) may also include:

• Restlessness or physical agitation

• Impulsivity

• Racing thoughts

• Emotional reactivity

• Difficulty sitting still

• Urgency seeking or stimulation-seeking behavior

Many adults with ADD/ADHD develop secondary issues such as anxiety, shame, burnout, substance use, or depression due to years of struggling without proper support.

⭐ Why ADD & ADHD Often Go Undiagnosed

Adults—especially successful, intelligent, or high-performing individuals—are often overlooked because:

• They learned to mask symptoms through achievement

• Their hyperactivity became internal rather than external

• They appear functional while silently struggling

• Childhood signs were dismissed as personality traits

• They overcompensated by working harder, not easier

This often leads to:

• Chronic overwhelm

• Burnout

• Procrastination cycles

• Difficulty maintaining relationships

• Emotional dysregulation

• Low self-esteem

• Feeling “broken” or “lazy” despite capability

At Reflections, we help clients understand that these patterns are symptoms — not personal failings.

⭐ ADD & ADHD, Trauma, and the Nervous System

Many individuals with attention disorders also have a history of trauma, especially:

• Childhood emotional neglect

• High-pressure or chaotic environments

• Attachment wounds

• Bullying or school-related stress

• Abuse or instability

• Early perfectionism or pressure to perform

Trauma can mimic or amplify ADD/ADHD symptoms, including:

• Difficulty concentrating

• Hypervigilance

• Emotional reactivity

• Impulsivity

• Sleep disturbances

• Dissociation

• Sensory overwhelm

Our trauma-informed team carefully evaluates the relationship between nervous system dysregulation and attention-based symptoms to create a targeted treatment plan.

⭐ How Reflections Treats ADD & ADHD in Adults

Our ADD/ADHD treatment program is holistic, clinically sophisticated, and tailored to each client.

⭐ 1. Comprehensive Clinical Assessment

We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand:

• Symptom patterns

• Trauma history

• Emotional regulation challenges

• Executive functioning strengths and deficits

• Co-occurring anxiety, depression, or substance use

• Lifestyle patterns affecting cognitive function

This assessment ensures accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.

⭐ 2. Individual Psychotherapy

One-on-one therapy helps clients address:

• Emotional distress related to inattentiveness or impulsivity

• Negative self-beliefs formed over years of misunderstanding their symptoms

• Shame, burnout, perfectionism, and frustration

• Behavioral patterns that reinforce distraction or overwhelm

• Relationship issues related to communication difficulties

Therapists use a blend of CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed modalities.

⭐ 3. Executive Functioning Support

Clients learn practical tools to improve:

• Time management

• Organization

• Planning and prioritizing

• Follow-through

• Task initiation

• Routine building

• Focus and attention

• Reducing overwhelm

These skills help clients build structure and confidence in daily life.

⭐ 4. Psychiatric Care & Medication Management

Many clients benefit from medication to support dopamine and norepinephrine regulation in the brain. Our psychiatric team provides:

• Careful diagnostic clarification

• Medication evaluation

• Stabilization and monitoring

• Adjustments tailored to each client’s emotional needs

We ensure clients feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout the process.

⭐ 5. Trauma-Informed Therapy

For clients whose attention symptoms are intertwined with trauma, we integrate:

• Somatic Experiencing

• Mindfulness and grounding

• Emotional regulation training

• Attachment-based therapy

• Nervous system stabilization

This helps clients heal the root causes rather than just the symptoms.

⭐ 6. Experiential & Holistic Therapies

These modalities support emotional regulation, focus, and grounding:

• Art therapy

• Music therapy

• Mindfulness and breathwork

• Sound bath sessions

• Gentle movement practices

• Nature-based therapeutic outings

These approaches help calm and repair the nervous system.

⭐ Common Co-Occurring Conditions We Treat Alongside ADD/ADHD

Many clients with ADD/ADHD also struggle with:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Substance use

• Executive dysfunction

• Chronic stress or burnout

• Relationship issues

• Trauma or PTSD

• Emotional dysregulation

• High-functioning anxiety

Our multidisciplinary team addresses both attention disorders and underlying emotional needs simultaneously.

⭐ ADD/ADHD Treatment for Professionals & Executives

Reflections specializes in treating high-achieving individuals who often struggle privately with attention disorders. Many of these clients experience:

• Overwork and exhaustion

• Difficulty focusing despite intelligence

• Feeling “scatterbrained” or overwhelmed

• Inconsistent performance

• Hyperfixation followed by burnout

• Difficulty managing responsibilities

We respect the privacy, dignity, and real-life demands of professional clients. Private rooms, chef-prepared meals, and access to electronics after stabilization help clients balance healing with everyday responsibilities.

⭐ Long-Term Support & Aftercare Planning

Clients leave with a comprehensive plan to support ongoing recovery, including:

• Referrals for ongoing therapy

• Continued psychiatric care

• Executive functioning tools

• Mindfulness practices

We equip clients with tools that promote long-term emotional clarity, cognitive stability, and confidence.
