What is ADHD counseling?

ADHD counseling is a form of therapy designed to help individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) manage symptoms, develop coping strategies, and improve daily functioning. Counselors work with clients to address challenges such as organization, time management, impulsivity, and emotional regulation. The goal is to provide support, education, and practical skills tailored to each person's needs, often involving behavioral therapy and psychoeducation. Counseling can benefit both children and adults diagnosed with ADHD, and may also involve family members to improve communication and understanding.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an ADHD counselor, and why are they important?

To thrive as an ADHD Counselor, you need a background in psychology, counseling, or social work, typically supported by a relevant degree and licensure. Familiarity with behavior management techniques and tools like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and electronic case management systems is important. Strong soft skills include empathy, active listening, patience, and the ability to adapt strategies to individual client needs. These competencies are crucial for building trust, effectively supporting clients, and ensuring positive behavioral and emotional outcomes.

What are some common challenges ADHD counselors face when supporting clients, and how can they effectively address them?

ADHD counselors often encounter challenges such as helping clients develop consistent routines, managing co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression, and overcoming difficulties with motivation and follow-through. To address these, counselors use evidence-based strategies like cognitive behavioral therapy, skills training, and regular progress monitoring. Collaborating closely with other professionals—such as educators, psychiatrists, and family members—is also key to providing comprehensive support and ensuring clients have the resources they need to succeed.

What is the difference between Adhd Counseling vs Child Psychologist?

Industry UsageCommonly used for ADHD-specific therapyBroader focus including developmental, emotional, and behavioral issues

Adhd Counseling primarily involves mental health professionals specializing in ADHD-specific strategies, often with counseling certifications. Child Psychologists hold doctoral degrees and can diagnose and treat a wide range of developmental and emotional issues, including ADHD. While both roles work with children and in similar environments, Adhd Counseling is more targeted toward managing ADHD symptoms, whereas Child Psychologists address broader mental health concerns in children.

How do I become an ADHD counselor?

To become an ADHD counselor, you typically need a master's degree in counseling, psychology, social work, or a related field, along with specialized training in ADHD and mental health. Licensing or certification requirements vary by region but often include supervised clinical experience and passing a licensing exam. Developing skills in assessment, therapy techniques, and understanding ADHD management strategies is essential for this role.

Northwest ADHD Treatment Center is now accepting postdoc Psychologist residency applications for the 2026-2027 year. We are interviewing starting in January for positions to start approximately mid September of 2026, pending board approval and insurance credentialing.

Northwest ADHD residency program is an APPIC member program.

https://nw-adhd.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2025-2026-NW-ADHD-Residency-Training-Manual.pdf

This residency is designed for adult treatment focused, or child and adolescent treatment focused clinicians. The position includes professional support and development opportunities that exceeds the minimum requirements for supervised practice to attain licensure as a psychologist in Oregon.

This is a full-time, 12 month position with the potential to be hired full time after residency and licensure. Our ideal candidates are those with experience in treating adults, or children and adolescents. The position duration can be extended if needed to accrue adequate licensing hours.

Experience assessing and treating ADHD, mood, and anxiety disorders in an outpatient setting is highly preferred. Ideal candidates will have strong skills in differential diagnosis to rule in ADHD and rule out other mood, anxiety, developmental, or cognitive disorders. Experience in the administration of continuous performance tests and Weschler measures are a plus. Time management and accurate and concise documentation practices will help candidates excel in this position.

Postdoctoral residents will spend a significant amount of time assessing patients for ADHD and other mood disorders. They will be responsible for administering the TOVA (Test of Variables of Attention) test, the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) and related measures on a weekly basis. Residents also lead a therapy group of their design weekly, and see an average of 20-25 patients per week in an outpatient setting. Residents will also supervise a practicum student. This position includes weekly interdisciplinary group consultation time and direct supervision from a licensed Psychologist. Opportunities to engage in research may be available. Every week, our psychologist residents participate in didactics, interdisciplinary treatment team meetings, and at least 2 hours of individual supervision with a licensed psychologist.

Eligible candidates must have a PsyD or PhD in clinical or counseling psychology from an APA-accredited program. APA-accredited internship is highly prefered. Dissertation must be complete to apply; ABD applications will not be considered. Applicants must be in an approved Residency Contract with the Oregon Board of Psychology prior to beginning clinical work; a position offer will be revoked if an individual is unable to enter an Oregon Board of Psychology approved Residency Contract.

Applicants must demonstrate an ability to assess and treat ADHD, work as an effective interdisciplinary team member, and maintain patient confidentiality and documentation in compliance with state, federal, professional, and ethical guidelines. Applicants must also demonstrate an ability to consistently utilize professional communication and conflict resolution skills with patients and staff.

The schedule for this position is 40 hours per week, exact hours to be determined by site needs and resident preferences. Residents are offered competitive salaries plus benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance, professional liability insurance, PTO, PLO, and paid holidays. Residents may also be eligible for short and long term disability insurance.

Program start date is approximate, depending upon the date of the candidate's completion of internship, the date on which the Oregon Board of Psychology approves the residency contract, and credentialing with Medicaid. Qualified applicants will be contacted to informally discuss the position and to schedule a formal interview.
