For adults, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches are commonly used to help manage symptoms and build coping strategies. For children and teens, providers may use approaches that involve parents in the process, such as Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) or the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P). A provider who specializes in ADHD can help determine which approach may be the right fit.

It depends on the type of care you're looking for. A therapist who specializes in ADHD can help you develop coping strategies, improve focus, and work through related challenges like anxiety or time management. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can evaluate symptoms, provide a diagnosis, and prescribe medication if appropriate. Some people work with both a therapist and a psychiatrist as part of their care. On Headway, you can browse both provider types and filter by ADHD specialty.
