While most cases of ADHD begin in childhood, symptoms of ADHD do not always go away once someone becomes an adult. For others, ADHD only becomes recognized in adulthood once work, life, or school demands increase. Catherine Ferrari is a therapist who serves California clients remotely or through her in-person office in Corona, CA. She has a therapeutic focus on treating adult clients with ADHD.

If you're wondering if the issues you're experiencing are ADHD and are questioning if you should seek assistance, it helps to know the symptoms. The most common ones adults experience include the following:
- Easily distracted

Benefits of Getting Help from a Therapist
Your treatment starts with Catherine getting to know you and what your goals are. You will answer questions about the symptoms you experience. Together you and Catherine will discuss if ADHD is a likely diagnosis.
Often, the treatment plan consists of helping you to learn the skills necessary to manage your time better and remain organized. For instance, learning to prioritize tasks in your schedule and avoiding multitasking.
Sometimes people with ADHD develop a negative self-image due to stigma, people’s negative perceptions of them, and struggling to reach their goals. Your treatment plan may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps to reduce negative feelings, behaviors, or thoughts that may hold you back.
