ADHD Testing & Therapy in Utah County | Palisades Counseling
Support for Focus, Functioning, and Thriving
At Palisades Counseling, we offer compassionate ADHD counseling for individuals navigating the challenges of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Whether you or a loved one have been recently diagnosed or have suspected ADHD may be a diagnosis. ADHD therapy can offer clarity, practical tools, and encouragement to help you move toward better wellness.
What is ADHD?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. While often first recognized in childhood, ADHD can persist into adolescence and adulthood—though the way it presents may change with age.
Common symptoms include distractibility, restlessness, disorganization, forgetfulness, and difficulty completing tasks. This doesn’t denote laziness or lack of effort—they reflect how the ADHD brain processes information and responds to its environment. With the right support, individuals with ADHD can thrive in school, work, relationships, and daily routines.
How ADHD Therapy Helps
ADHD treatment through counseling can be an empowering space for learning how ADHD influences your thinking, behavior, and emotions. It offers the opportunity to better understand your own patterns, develop coping skills, and reduce the frustration that often comes with navigating life in a world not designed for neurodivergent minds.
ADHD often co-occurs with anxiety, depression, or feelings of low self-worth. For many people, it also comes with additional emotional challenges, including low self-esteem, anxiety, or feelings of failure. In therapy, we create a space where those experiences can be explored with compassion and without judgment. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, confidence, and emotional balance.
Whether you’re struggling with managing responsibilities, sustaining focus, or regulating emotions, counseling can support you in building personalized strategies and a stronger sense of control.
ADHD Across the Lifespan
ADHD affects individuals differently depending on age and life stage. In children and teens, it may show up through behavior challenges, academic difficulties, or trouble with peers. In adults, it can impact work performance, organization, time management, and relationships.
No matter the age, ADHD can influence how individuals view themselves. It’s not uncommon to feel “behind,” misunderstood, or constantly overwhelmed. Therapy can help reframe those experiences, highlight strengths, and move toward healthier patterns.
Our licensed ADHD therapists support both adults and children in learning how to manage ADHD symptoms, improve focus, and build lasting strategies for success.
ADHD Testing Available
If you’re unsure whether ADHD is contributing to your challenges, we offer ADHD testing and assessment as part of our broader ADHD counseling. Testing is available for children, teens, and adults.
A Personalized Path Forward
Every person’s experience with ADHD is unique. You don’t need an official diagnosis to benefit from therapy. If you’re noticing any of the things mentioned and want support, ADHD counseling can help you make sense of it—and support your journey to well-being
