Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can affect focus, emotional regulation, organization, and daily functioning at any age. At Calgary Mental Health & Wellness Centre, we provide supportive, evidence-based counselling for children, teens, and adults (ages 8 and up) navigating ADHD-related challenges.
Our therapists offer a compassionate space to better understand ADHD and develop practical strategies that support daily life, relationships, school, and work.
Who This Support Is For
ADHD counselling may be helpful for individuals ages 8 and up who experience:
difficulty with attention, focus, or organization
emotional regulation challenges or impulsivity
low frustration tolerance or overwhelm
challenges at school, work, or home
ADHD-related impacts on self-esteem or relationships
Counselling support is available whether ADHD has been recently identified or has been present for many years.
How Counselling Can Help
ADHD counselling focuses on understanding how ADHD shows up uniquely for each person and building skills to support daily functioning. Therapy may help with:
developing age-appropriate organizational and coping strategies
improving emotional regulation and impulse control
supporting self-esteem and confidence
navigating school, work, or relationship challenges
building routines and strategies that feel realistic and sustainable
Support is tailored to developmental stage, individual needs, and personal goals.
ADHD Across the Lifespan
ADHD can look different in children, teens, and adults. Counselling provides space to explore these differences and adapt strategies as needs change over time. Support focuses on strengths as well as challenges, helping individuals feel understood and empowered.
Our Approach
Our therapists use a client-centred, trauma-informed approach grounded in evidence-based practices. Counselling is collaborative, practical, and paced to support meaningful and achievable change for individuals and families.
