ADHD & Academic Stressors

ADHD can affect people of all ages, but the way it appears in daily life can vary. At Inner Healing Therapy, we help clients understand how their brain works, build practical skills, and reduce the overwhelm that often impacts school, work, and relationships.

We also offer guidance for navigating school supports such as 504 Plans and IEPs, so students have the tools they need to succeed.
