ADHD Therapy & Treatment For Children & Teens
When ADHD Is Affecting Your Child’s School, Emotions, or Confidence
You Don’t Have to Handle It Alone.
WHEN YOUR CHILD IS STRUGGLING, THE WHOLE FAMILY FEELS IT … ADHD Is More Than “Can’t Sit Still”
What ADHD Looks Like In Children & Teens:
In children and teens, ADHD often shows up as:
- Trouble focusing or following instructions
- Emotional outbursts or shutdowns
- Anxiety, low self-esteem, or frustration
- Difficulty with organization and time management
- Conflict at home or school
- Has difficulty focusing or following instructions
- Is falling behind academically despite strong abilities
- Becomes easily overwhelmed, emotional, or frustrated
- Struggles with organization, time management, or transitions
- Is losing confidence or feeling “different” from peers
Without proper support, kids often internalize shame instead of understanding.
Parenting a child with ADHD can feel exhausting and isolating — especially when you’re trying your best and still unsure what will truly help.
👉 This is not a parenting failure. ADHD is neurodevelopmental — and support makes a difference..
ADHD doesn’t look the same in every child.
Early, ADHD-informed therapy helps children and teens:
- Understand themselves
- Build coping skills
- Strengthen emotional regulation
- Develop confidence instead of self-criticism
Without proper support, children may internalize shame or frustration — even when they’re doing their best.
SUPPORT FOR PARENTS IS PART OF THE PROCESS
ADHD Therapy Works Best When Parents Are Supported Too
Parent involvement may include:
- Guidance on understanding ADHD behaviors
- Practical tools for home routines and expectations
- Support navigating school-related concerns
- Reducing conflict and stress within the family
You don’t need to have all the answers — that’s part of what therapy helps with.
Work With Heather DeAngelis …
Premier specialist in the assessment and treatment of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) / Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and neurodivergent brains.
Hi, I’m Heather DeAngelis—licensed therapist (LCSW‑R in NY, LCSW in CA), consultant, and passionate advocate for neurodivergent brains. I’ve built my work around helping bright, driven adults, teens, families, and couples navigate life with ADHD—whether it’s understanding executive function challenges, managing ADHD with anxiety, or finding steady rhythm in the daily chaos.
I understand firsthand how it feels to dream big—and then stall under overwhelm or self-doubt. Having climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro with ADHD taught me powerful lessons in resilience, perseverance, and the importance of small, steady steps. That’s the same spirit I bring to ADHD therapy and coaching: exploring what lights you up, activating your brain’s strengths, and transforming obstacles into momentum.
Whether you’re in Los Angeles Metropolitan Area or New York City, looking for individual therapy, group therapy for women with ADHD, or executive function coaching, I’m here to walk alongside you. You don’t have to do this alone.
Let’s connect. If you’re ready to take that next step—whether it’s your first session or a group experience—book a session today and let’s discover what makes your unique brain shine.
I am looking forward to working with you
