DEVELOP NEW SKILLS & THRIVE WITH ADHD
If you or your child struggles with time management, organization, prioritizing projects or tasks and negative thinking, then you have come to the right place. Allison Tyler, author and a licensed clinical social worker with over 17 years experience, believes that all individuals with ADHD can learn new skills and strategies to not only help them to live but to thrive in our neurodiverse world. Using a blend of motivational, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques, I teach specific approaches and strategies to help strengthen executive function skills.
LEARN NEW STRATEGIES
- Is it sometimes difficult for your teen to stay organized?
- Do homework assignments sneak up on you?
- Does your teen have trouble slowing down their mind?
STRATEGIES THAT DELIVER RESULTS
Allison was a key part to us getting the services our child needed. She not only advocated for our child's needs but helped him to learn how to deal with challenging situations and helped us to learn how to better support him.
I loved working with Allison to learn more about my own ADHD and how it affects my work and my life in general. She was patient, flexible and taught me some valuable skills in easy to learn format. I felt more confident to tackle every day life after our work together.
