Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, commonly called ADHD, is often misunderstood as just a childhood issue, or something tied solely to distraction and hyperactivity. But for many teens and adults, ADHD affects every part of life, from managing time and emotions to maintaining relationships. At Mystic Therapy, Danielle Drugan, MS Ed., LMFT, provides ADHD therapy that accounts for the whole person. Her approach is grounded in compassion, practical tools, and a deep understanding of how ADHD interacts with the nervous system, nutrition, trauma, and creativity.
More Than “Can’t Sit Still”
ADHD isn’t a failure of discipline or intelligence. It’s a neurological condition that affects how the brain organizes, prioritizes, and regulates attention and action. That might take the form of losing track of tasks, struggling with follow-through, or becoming overwhelmed by routine demands. It can also show up as intense emotional sensitivity, bursts of creativity, or difficulty shifting out of anxious or exhausted states.
In teens, ADHD can be masked by social anxiety, mood swings, or school avoidance. In adults, it might appear as burnout, chronic procrastination, or the persistent feeling of not living up to potential, despite working twice as hard.
Support That Honors Mind, Body, and Experience
As an ADHD therapist, Danielle offers personalized ADHD therapy that takes a holistic approach. Each client’s life, health, and history matter. Therapy may include body awareness, emotional regulation techniques, and tools to work with, not against, your unique brain wiring. Whether you're trying to get a handle on big transitions, parenting stress, or figuring out your authentic goals and values, therapy can help bring clarity and steadiness.
Because Danielle is also trained in Nutritional Integrative Medicine for Mental Health and trauma-informed yoga, clients have the option to explore how sleep, movement, gut health, and energy patterns affect their symptoms. And with her background as an art teacher, creative approaches are always welcome.
