For individuals with ADHD, the presence of trauma can exacerbate symptoms and complicate treatment. Trauma may contribute to difficulties in attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relationships, further impairing daily functioning and quality of life. Additionally, trauma-related symptoms such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, and avoidance behaviors can overlap with ADHD symptoms, making diagnosis and treatment challenging.

We take a trauma-informed approach to working with individuals who have ADHD and trauma histories. This approach recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and emphasizes safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment in therapy. We create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel safe to explore their experiences, process emotions, and develop coping skills to manage symptoms and improve functioning.

Our team of experienced therapists specializes in evidence-based treatments for both ADHD and trauma, allowing us to provide comprehensive and integrated care. We tailor our therapeutic interventions to address the unique needs and challenges of each individual, combining approaches such as EMDR, trauma-informed yoga and somatic movement, trauma-focused therapy, mindfulness techniques, and skills training to promote healing and recovery. By addressing both ADHD and trauma in therapy, we aim to help individuals regain a sense of control, resilience, and healing.
