ADHD & ADD Therapy in Illinois
In-Person & Online ADHD & ADD Therapy in West Dundee & Chicago, IL
Supportive, affirming therapy for children, teens, and young adults with ADHD- helping them understand their brains, build skills, and thrive in a world that isn’t always designed for them.
Sessions are offered in person and virtually, making it easier for teens to access counseling for ADHD & ADD.
Living with ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence can be both energizing and exhausting. Many kids, teens, and young adults struggle not because something is “wrong” with them- but because their brains work differently in environments that don’t always offer flexibility or understanding.
At Sohail Counseling, we provide ADHD & ADD therapy for children, teens, and young adults across Illinois and Michigan. Our therapists take a neuro-affirming approach that supports focus, emotional regulation, executive functioning, and self-understanding… without trying to change who your child is at their core.
Who ADHD Therapy Is For
ADHD and neurodivergent therapy may be a good fit if your child, teen, or young adult is:
Struggling with attention, focus, or follow-through
Feeling overwhelmed by school, routines, or expectations
Experiencing emotional outbursts, frustration, or shutdowns
Dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, or perfectionism related to ADHD
Frequently told they are “too much,” “lazy,” or “unmotivated”
Looking for an ADHD therapist who understands neurodivergent brains
Common Reasons Families Seek ADHD Therapy
Families often reach out when they notice:
Difficulty staying organized or completing tasks
Trouble managing time, transitions, or routines
Impulsivity or emotional reactivity
Chronic overwhelm, burnout, or frustration

ADHD doesn’t look the same for everyone-and therapy meets your child where they are.
What ADHD Therapy Looks Like at Sohail Counseling
ADHD therapy is not about forcing focus or “fixing” behavior. It’s about understanding how the ADHD brain works and learning strategies that actually fit.
In therapy, we may focus on:
Building executive functioning skills (organization, planning, follow-through)
Strengthening emotional regulation and frustration tolerance
Developing routines that feel realistic and sustainable
Improving self-awareness and self-advocacy
Reducing shame and increasing confidence
Supporting parents with tools and insight when appropriate
Sessions are active, collaborative, and tailored to the developmental stage and individual needs.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Our ADHD therapists use evidence-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approaches, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adapted for ADHD
Skills-based executive functioning support
Mindfulness and emotional regulation strategies
Parent collaboration and guidance (as appropriate)
Trauma-informed and relational therapy
Treatment is always personalized- no one-size-fits-all plans here.
