ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is commonly diagnosed in childhood and can continue through adulthood. Some adults do not realize they have ADHD until later in life, which can affect their relationships, schooling, and work life. People with ADHD experience executive dysfunction and frequently have difficulty organizing and planning tasks, maintaining focus and concentration, making effective decisions, and using logical reasoning. The good news is that the symptoms of ADHD can be managed, and it can be highly beneficial for individuals to seek the counseling of an ADHD therapist. For individuals in New York City, Spataro Counseling and Coaching Services offers online ADHD therapy for adults. Cristina Spataro is a highly qualified New York State licensed mental health counselor, ADHD therapist, online therapist, and life coach who offers virtual sessions to people in New York City's five boroughs and the surrounding area.
 

What Causes ADHD?

Researchers are still examining the causes of ADHD. However, it may be related to an imbalance of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine that help your brain form thoughts and manage executive functions such as working memory, self-control, focused attention, and flexible thinking. ADHD may also have a genetic component.
 

How Can an ADHD Therapist Help Me?

ADHD therapy is commonly treated with psychotherapy, which can help people learn adaptation strategies and coping methods so the condition does not adversely affect their schooling, work, or other areas of life. Individuals with ADHD may also experience depression and anxiety, stress, substance abuse disorders, or other learning disorders, all of which can be addressed through online therapy.
 

What Are the Benefits of an Online Therapist?

Individuals with ADHD can particularly benefit from online therapy because it is a safe and effective mode of treatment that does not require them to travel or make extensive time in their schedule.
