There are several ways that you can get the support you need as an adult with ADHD. There's coaching and mentorships.

There are different types of therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and other modalities geared towards adults with ADHD.

But many feel the best way is when we incorporate more of a holistic approach to managing and thriving with ADHD which involves many types of strategies and support systems.

So today, we're talking about Beyond ADHD coaching, including different types of therapy, fitness and movement, and more.

Today, we have Dr Jessica McCarthy, the founder and clinical director of Elements Psychological Services. Elements offers a wide range of support systems for individuals with ADHD.

Dr. McCarthy introduces us to her practice and discusses the importance of a thorough ADHD assessment, which her practice provides.

Dave and Dr. McCarthy also discuss and distinguish the difference between ADHD coaching, mentorship and clinical support. She discusses what we are trying to uncover in therapy such as why we do certain things and why we do not. For example, missing deadlines, task initiation and the challenges we have.

She also discusses how we can begin to make critical shifts in our lives that may be beyond ADHD coaching. How can an adult with ADHD make progress and see measurable results in their lives?

They also discuss energy management. How can we focus on a strength-based discussion? How can we get more of what we are good at in both our careers and at home? But also realizing there were certain must haves such as paying bills on time, etc…

Dr. McCarthy discusses how important it is for us to manage those internal distractions and emotions so we can thrive as an adult with ADHD, especially in our careers and the workplace.

Dave and Dr. McCarthy discuss fitness and how mission critical it is for busy adults with ADHD. She says having fitness in our lives falls into the deal-breaker category. It must be part of our lives.
