Helping Young Minds Thrive Through Children’s ADHD Therapy in Oakdale, MN
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can impact a child’s ability to focus, regulate emotions, and succeed in school and social settings. However, with the right support, kids with ADHD can achieve just as much as their neurotypical counterparts! Don’t worry—we’re here for you. At Summer Counseling, we offer individualized children’s ADHD therapy for ages 3 and up. Our team in Oakdale, Minnesota, is more than happy to guide your family as you explore what this diagnosis means for you.
Recognizing the Signs of ADHD in Children
ADHD symptoms can look different from child to child, but common signs include:
- Frequent fidgeting or difficulty staying seated
- Trouble focusing on tasks or following directions
- Impulsive behavior like interrupting others
- Emotional outbursts or trouble calming down
- Poor time management or forgetfulness
- Challenges with social interactions
Sometimes these behaviors are mistaken for defiance, an overabundance of energy, or simple immaturity. That’s why early intervention is so important—it helps children build self-awareness and learn effective tools that will serve them for the rest of their lives.
Our Approach to ADHD Therapy
At Summer Counseling, we take a neurodivergence-affirming approach to children’s ADHD therapy that celebrates strengths while providing structured support. We may incorporate a mix of play therapy, art therapy, and behavioral techniques to help kids express themselves, improve focus, and develop self-regulation skills. Parents are also supported throughout the process with strategies for home and school environments.
