ADHD Counseling in Mooresville, NC

We help by providing ADHD Counseling. ADHD isn’t a character flaw—it’s a brain-based difference that needs the right tools. We help children (10+), teens, and adults improve focus, organization, emotional regulation, and follow-through with executive-function coaching, skills-based therapy, and optional neurofeedback. We also partner with parents, schools, and (when requested) medical providers for a cohesive plan.

How ADHD Counseling Works Here

Clarify your profile – Strengths, barriers, routines, sleep, and co-occurring concerns (anxiety, trauma).

Design supports – Simple systems for planning, time management, task initiation, and working memory.

Build regulation – Body-based skills, self-compassion, and emotion coaching to reduce shame/flare-ups.

Practice + iterate – Real-life experiments at home/school/work; weekly or bi-weekly sessions.

Coordinate care – With caregivers, teachers, or prescribers (with consent). Neurofeedback available as an add-on.

Approaches We Use Other Than ADHD Counseling

Executive-Function Coaching – Concrete tools for planning, prioritizing, time-blocking, and habit scaffolding.

ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) – Skills to unhook from self-criticism and take values-based action (even when motivation is low).

IFS-Informed “Parts” Work – Reduce shame by understanding procrastination/avoidance as protective parts; increase self-leadership.

EMDR (when indicated) – For performance blocks or past experiences that keep avoidance and negative beliefs (“I’m lazy”) stuck.

Neurofeedback (optional) – Brain-based training that many clients use to support attention, sleep, and emotional regulation. Learn more on our Neurofeedback page.

FAQs

 

Do you only coach skills, or is this therapy too?

Both. We blend executive-function coaching with therapy (ACT/IFS) and EMDR when past experiences or beliefs keep patterns stuck.

Can neurofeedback help ADHD?

Many clients use neurofeedback to support attention, sleep, and regulation alongside therapy and skill systems. It’s optional—we’ll help you decide.

Do you coordinate with schools or employers?

Yes, with your consent. We can share practical recommendations and help you communicate needs.

Do you prescribe medication?

No. If you’re considering medication, we’ll collaborate with your pediatrician or prescriber for integrated care.

Do you see kids under 7?

No, we start at age 7.

Is telehealth effective for ADHD support?

Yes—especially for skills practice, system setup, and accountability between sessions.
