The right provider depends on whether you're looking for therapy, medication management, or both. A licensed therapist — such as an LCMHC, LCSW, or psychologist — can help you develop strategies for managing ADHD-related challenges like focus, time management, and emotional regulation. A psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can evaluate your needs and prescribe medication if appropriate. Many people with ADHD work with both a therapist and a prescriber. On Headway, you can browse both therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in ADHD.

There are several therapeutic approaches that a qualified provider may consider when supporting someone with ADHD, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. These approaches focus on building practical skills for managing attention, organization, and emotional regulation. For children and teens, a qualified provider may also discuss parent-involved approaches — such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and behavioral parent training — depending on the individual's needs. A provider experienced in ADHD can help you explore which approach may fit your specific needs and goals.
