Understanding ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain manages attention, impulse control, and executive functioning. It’s not a matter of laziness or willpower. ADHD changes the way you process information, manage time, organize tasks, regulate emotions, and follow through on goals.
For many people, ADHD goes unrecognized for years. Adults may have spent their whole lives being told they’re “not living up to their potential” without understanding why. Women are frequently misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression before ADHD is identified. Teens may be labeled as unmotivated or disruptive when the real issue is an executive function challenge that hasn’t been addressed. And high-performing professionals can mask their symptoms for a long time before the coping strategies they’ve built start to break down.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and effective ADHD therapy can help.
Recognizing the Symptoms of ADHD
ADHD symptoms go well beyond “having trouble focusing.” Depending on your presentation, ADHD may look like chronic procrastination and difficulty starting tasks, losing track of conversations or forgetting appointments, emotional reactivity that feels disproportionate to the situation, restlessness or an internal sense that your mind never stops, trouble completing projects even when you care deeply about them, difficulty with time management and consistently running late, or impulsive decisions that affect your finances, relationships, or career.
These patterns often lead to secondary challenges like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and burnout. Many people who come to us for ADHD counseling in Alpharetta, GA have been managing these struggles quietly for years. Recognizing that ADHD may be at the root is the first step toward getting the right support.
Effective Treatments for ADHD with KMH
ADHD therapy at Kellen Mental Health focuses on building practical skills that work in your real life. Our therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) adapted for ADHD to help you identify the thought patterns and behavioral habits that keep you stuck and replace them with strategies that actually work. This includes executive function therapy integrated into sessions: planning, prioritizing, time management, task initiation, and follow-through.
Therapy also addresses the emotional side of living with ADHD, the frustration, the shame, the feeling of always falling short. Many of our clients have never had someone validate that their struggles are real, neurological, and treatable. That shift in understanding alone can be transformative.
Personalized ADHD Treatment Plans in Alpharetta, GA
Every person’s experience with ADHD is different, and your treatment plan should reflect that. Our ADHD therapists in Alpharetta, GA start with a thorough assessment to understand your specific symptoms, strengths, and challenges. From there, your clinician builds a plan tailored to your goals, whether that’s improving focus at work, reducing conflict in your relationships, managing academic demands, or simply feeling more in control of your day.
Our approach is therapy-forward. While we can coordinate with your prescribing provider if medication is part of your plan, the core of what we offer is skilled, personalized ADHD counseling that gives you tools you’ll use long after sessions end. Treatment may also incorporate mindfulness practices and lifestyle strategies as part of a whole-person approach to managing ADHD.
ADHD Therapists at KMH in Alpharetta, GA
Our Alpharetta, GA ADHD therapists provide individualized care for teens, adults, and families. Each clinician on our team brings specific experience in ADHD counseling and understands how the condition shows up differently depending on age, gender, and life circumstances.

We offer both in-person and virtual sessions so you can access expert ADHD therapy from wherever you are in Georgia.
ADHD Testing and Assessment
Getting the right diagnosis is the foundation for effective treatment. At Kellen Mental Health, we offer neurocognitive testing for ADHD that provides objective, standardized data about your cognitive strengths and challenges, including attention, memory, processing speed, and executive functioning.
Our neurocognitive testing for ADHD uses standardized, computerized assessments to measure attention, timing, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, giving your clinician objective, performance-based data to support diagnosis and treatment planning. Your clinician will determine which assessment tools are the best fit for your situation based on your symptoms, history, and goals.
Who We Work With
ADHD doesn’t look the same in everyone, and our ADHD therapists in Alpharetta, GA are experienced in working with the full range of how it presents.
- Adults who were diagnosed later in life, or who suspect they may have ADHD but have never been formally assessed. Many of our adult clients are professionals, parents, or graduate students who have been compensating for years and are ready to understand why things have always felt harder than they should.
- Women who have been overlooked by the traditional diagnostic model. ADHD in women often presents as inattention, emotional sensitivity, and internalized overwhelm rather than the hyperactive behavior most people associate with the condition. If you’ve been told your struggles are “just anxiety,” ADHD therapy can help you find out what’s really going on.
- Teens and families navigating school challenges, social difficulties, and the everyday friction that ADHD can create at home. Our therapists work with teens individually and support parents with strategies for structure, communication, and understanding their child’s needs. We also offer parent coaching focused specifically on parenting a child with ADHD.
- College students managing the jump to independent living, higher academic demands, and the loss of external structure that many relied on in high school.
- Professionals and leaders dealing with workplace performance, career development, and the executive functioning demands of high-responsibility roles. Our executive coaching and career coaching services can complement ADHD therapy for clients who want focused support in their professional lives.
ADHD and Co-Occurring Conditions
ADHD rarely shows up in isolation. It’s common for ADHD to co-occur with other mental health conditions, and when that happens, treating only one without addressing the other often leads to incomplete results.
The most common conditions we see alongside ADHD include anxiety (particularly generalized anxiety and social anxiety), depression, burnout and chronic stress, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. For some clients, the anxiety or depression they’ve been treated for in the past was actually driven by undiagnosed ADHD all along.
Our therapists are trained to assess and treat the full picture. If ADHD is part of a more complex mental health profile, your treatment plan will reflect that, addressing each concern in a coordinated way rather than in isolation.

Initially, appointments are typically scheduled weekly or every other week. As symptoms improve and progress toward goals becomes more consistent, sessions can be spaced out to every 3–4 weeks.

60 minute appointments: $215 – $240 per session
Individual counseling rate varies per clinician. Please see clinician bios for more information regarding specialties and rates.
Neurocognitive Testing for ADHD
Neurocognitive testing is a set of standardized, objective assessments designed to measure various aspects of cognitive function, including attention, memory, processing speed, executive functioning, and problem-solving abilities. These tests provide quantitative data about a person’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses, making them particularly valuable for diagnosing and managing conditions like ADHD. Results can guide personalized treatment approaches, including behavioral strategies and therapy.
