ADHD Groups Can Offer Many Long-Term Benefits
ADHD groups can offer many long-term benefits for people with the condition, including increased social support, improved coping skills, and a greater sense of belonging. In a group session, people can learn from each other’s experiences and gain valuable insights into their own struggles with ADHD. This can lead to improved self-esteem and a decreased sense of isolation. Additionally, group therapy provides ongoing accountability and encouragement, which can help people with ADHD stay motivated and focused on their treatment goals.
Group therapy for ADHD can work fairly quickly for people who actively participate and engage with the process. Research shows that by being in a group setting, people can learn from each other’s experiences and strategies for managing symptoms. The support and validation people with ADHD receive from others can help them feel less isolated and bolster their confidence in coping with their symptoms.

I'm Interested, What's Next?
We are here to help you decide if group therapy is the right path for you. We offer a free, no-pressure consultation with one of our group facilitators. Our goal is that at the end of the screening, you will be able to decide if this is the right group for you.
Assessment For Group Therapy Participation
All of our groups are exclusively for adults over the age of 18 (except our teen group, which is for ages 15-17), and all groups require an assessment prior to admission and participation. The goals of our group therapy assessment are three-fold:
- To make an accurate diagnosis.
- To explain group processes and procedures.
- To discern whether or not the individual being assessed is an appropriate candidate for participation in group therapy.
Please note that having an assessment does not guarantee admission to any group. A group assessment allows us to ascertain if there is any reason that we believe a prospective group member would not be a good fit for participation in one of our groups. We reserve the right to restrict and limit participation in all therapy groups that we offer.
To get started, please contact us, and our admin team will set up your free consultation with one of the group facilitators.
