Helping Kids with ADHD: Compassionate Therapy and Support for Children

As a parent, there’s nothing worse than seeing your child struggle. If your child has ADHD, you may feel overwhelmed about how to best support them. The good news is that your child can learn impulse control and organization. Compassionate therapy and support for your child’s ADHD can make all the difference in helping them cope better, as well as teach them skills to manage their behaviour more effectively. 

See how Family Matters Centre can help your child learn to manage their ADHD and return a sense of calm to your family.

Our child therapists in Burlington recognize the importance of compassionate therapy for children who struggle with ADHD, as well as their families. Our approach to treating ADHD involves understanding your child’s unique needs, crafting customized treatment plans, and developing effective communication strategies for each child. We offer both individual and group therapy options. 

Individual counselling is a powerful tool that can help alleviate some of the struggles associated with ADHD. By offering a safe and supportive environment, our child therapists in Burlington can help kids with ADHD enhance their self-esteem, reduce their anxiety, and develop effective coping skills. 

Our evidence-based therapies have proven to be successful in numerous cases, helping children with ADHD navigate their challenges with greater ease. Whether it’s cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or mindfulness practices, our team of experts is dedicated to offering tailored solutions that promote long-term success.

At Family Matters Centre, our ADHD therapy groups, as well as kids group therapy for anxiety and anger management allow children to feel a sense of belonging and receive peer support from others who can relate to their struggles. Through group therapy, children can learn valuable coping skills from each other that they may not have learned otherwise. 

We offer the following therapeutic groups for children dealing with ADHD:

• Temper Temper: This kids group therapy for anger management helps children better understand their emotions and learn how to make healthier decisions.

• Chill Out: This kids group therapy is for children who experience anxiety, as well as feelings of nervousness or anxious thoughts/physical sensations.

• Mindfulness Magic: Mindfulness has been shown to improve attention, focus, memory, self-understanding and self-acceptance for children dealing with ADHD.
