ADHD 101 for Therapists: Building Confidence in Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Most ADHD trainings cover the basics.

But in session, it often looks like:

emotional dysregulation
rejection sensitivity (RSD)
shutdown or avoidance
patterns that overlap with anxiety or trauma

And that’s where a lot of clinicians feel unsure.

This training goes beyond the basics and focuses on how ADHD actually presents in real clinical work—and how to respond.

We’ll cover:

nuanced ADHD symptoms (RSD, PDA, interoception)
how ADHD overlaps with anxiety and trauma
assessment + differential diagnosis
practical strategies for treatment

📅 May 1st
⏰ 10 AM - 11 AM EST
💻 Zoom
🎓 1.5 CE hours
💲 $29

If you want a deeper, more usable understanding of ADHD, I’d love to have you there.
