Adult ADHD Therapy in Seattle

Maybe your ADHD was missed as a child. This is often the case with so many with adult ADHD. Often when we perform okay enough to get by in school, we are not considered for a diagnosis of ADHD, so then our struggles fall under the radar.

ADHD is so much more than if we are doing well academically. Untreated ADHD can follow us into adulthood and can affect our overall focus, attention to detail, work performance, house work and the way we connect with others.

At Anchor Light Therapy in the Uptown neighborhood of Seattle we understand the struggles of Adult ADHD and we are here to partner with you on this part of your journey.
