ADHD Therapy in Calgary
What is ADHD?
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is more than just trouble paying attention—it’s a way of experiencing the world that can bring both challenges and strengths. People with ADHD often struggle with focus, organization, restlessness, or impulsivity, which can make daily tasks feel overwhelming at times. Yet, they are also often creative, energetic, and deeply passionate when something captures their interest. ADHD is not a reflection of effort or intelligence; it’s a difference in how the brain processes information and manages attention. With understanding, structure, and the right support, individuals with ADHD can learn strategies to thrive and use their unique way of thinking as a source of strength.
