Common reasons why people seek ADHD counseling
When another practice may be better for your ADHD treatment needs
At Whitmire Counseling, we believe in being upfront about our capabilities to ensure you receive the most appropriate care. While we offer comprehensive ADHD counseling services, there are certain situations where we may recommend seeking support elsewhere:
If you require ADHD medication management, we can provide therapy in conjunction with your psychiatric care, but you'll need to establish care with a psychiatrist or other medical doctor for medication needs.
If you're experiencing severe ADHD symptoms alongside acute mental health crises requiring immediate intervention, we recommend contacting emergency services or visiting your nearest emergency room, as we provide ongoing support rather than crisis response.
If you're seeking specialized ADHD coaching or organizational services as your primary need, we can refer you to certified ADHD coaches while still providing complementary therapeutic support.
If you're located outside of Texas, we'll need to connect you with an ADHD specialist in your state, as we can only provide therapy services to Texas residents.
If you're specifically looking for ADHD support groups or group therapy programs, we can refer you to local organizations that offer these services while providing individual therapy support.
If you're unsure whether our practice's approach to ADHD treatment aligns with your needs, we encourage you to reach out to discuss your specific situation.

ADHD stands for "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder." Common signs of ADHD include:
Difficulty maintaining focus on tasks
Challenges with organization and time management
Frequent procrastination
Feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities
Struggling to complete projects despite good intentions
...and many more. Keep in mind that ADHD can present differently in everyone, so it's important to work with a professional to understand exactly what you're going through. ADHD symptoms can also overlap with symptoms of anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and other disorders, so proper diagnosis is a key first step in finding effective treatment.
