ADHD therapy in Boise
ADHD isn't a lack of trying. If anything, you've been trying harder than everyone around you and getting less credit for it. Therapy can't change how your brain is wired, but it can change how much it costs you.
Does this sound familiar?
- You start things and can't finish them, then feel terrible about it
- Time slips away; you're always late or always rushing
- You lose track of tasks, objects, and conversations
- Your emotions run hot and fast, and so does your frustration with yourself
- You've been called lazy, careless, or too much, and you half believe it
- You suspect ADHD but were never assessed, or were diagnosed and never got support
You don't need to check every box, and you don't need a diagnosis to reach out.
How ADHD therapy helps
Medication, when used, treats attention. Therapy treats everything around it: the systems you need to function, the emotional side of ADHD, and the years of self-criticism that pile up. We work on concrete strategies for organization, time, and follow-through, and on being less at war with yourself.
The approaches we use
CBT adapted for ADHD, which focuses on practical skills and the thinking patterns that derail them. DBT skills for managing big, fast emotions. Mindfulness for building the pause between impulse and action. Leann is an ADHD Clinical Services Provider and works with teens and adults.
Teens with ADHD
For teens, we work with the whole system: the teen, parents, and often the school. The goal is a teen who understands their own brain and has tools that fit it, and parents who can support without nagging.

Common questions
Do you diagnose ADHD?
Our therapists can screen for ADHD and help you understand your symptoms. Formal testing is done by a psychologist or physician; we can refer you and work alongside them.
Do you prescribe medication?
No. If medication might help, we'll coordinate with your doctor or a prescriber. Many people do well with therapy alone, with medication alone, or with both.
Do you work with adults who were never diagnosed?
Yes. Many adults recognize ADHD in themselves only after a child is diagnosed or after years of struggling. It's never too late to get support.
Does insurance cover this?
Yes for most plans, including Idaho Medicaid. See fees and insurance.
