ADHD Therapy & Counseling in Rhode Island

Arrow Behavioral Health provides ADHD therapy for children, teens, and adults in Warwick and Middletown, Rhode Island.

ADHD Therapy for Children, Teens, and Adults in RI

ADHD looks and feels different at every age. Our approach is tailored to match.

Children (ages 5 and up). Sessions focus on behavioral strategies, organizational skill-building, and emotional regulation. We actively involve parents in the process because progress at home reinforces what happens in the session.

Teens. We work on executive function, procrastination, emotional regulation, and academic planning. We also help teens build the self-awareness to advocate for themselves in school and in life.

Adults. ADHD therapy for adults at Arrow addresses time management, chronic disorganization, relationship strain, and the self-esteem that years of underperformance can erode. Many adults arrive without having received support before. It is not too late.

A formal ADHD diagnosis is not required to begin therapy. If you recognize the patterns and want support, we can work with you.

Is ADHD Therapy Right for You or Your Child?

You do not need to be in crisis to reach out. These are the most common reasons people contact Arrow for ADHD counseling:

  • Persistent difficulty finishing tasks despite real effort

  • Chronic disorganization: missed deadlines, forgotten appointments, lost items

  • Impulsivity that is creating problems at work, school, or in relationships

  • Emotional reactivity that flares quickly and is hard to settle

  • Consistently underperforming relative to your intelligence and ability

  • A child who is working hard but still falling behind, and no one has addressed why

 

Our ADHD Counseling Approach

We begin every new client relationship with a thorough intake to understand how ADHD specifically shows up in your life or your child's life. ADHD is not one experience; the presentation varies significantly across individuals and age groups.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the foundation of our ADHD work. CBT is one of the most extensively studied therapeutic approaches for ADHD. In practice, this means building concrete skills around planning, time management, procrastination, and the anxiety and low self-esteem that often accompany ADHD.

For children, sessions are age-appropriate and behavior-focused. Parent involvement is built into the process.

For teens and adults, therapy moves at the pace of the individual and addresses the specific patterns that are getting in the way.


Medication management is available within our practice for clients who use or are considering ADHD medication. Coordinating therapy and medication in one place produces better outcomes and removes a logistical burden from families.
