Rethinking Consequences, Skill Gaps, and Responsibility
My new article in Psychotherapy Networker about the gaps many families experience in ADHD care
I’m excited to share that my newest article has just been published in Psychotherapy Networker, a publication I’ve long respected for the thoughtful conversations it brings to the mental health field.
For many years, conversations about ADHD have focused primarily on symptoms, medication, and behavioral strategies. Those tools can absolutely be helpful. But they don’t always capture the full experience of living with ADHD- especially for children and families navigating it every day.
In my work with parents, educators, and clinicians, I often see a gap between how ADHD is commonly treated and what children and families actually need.
Too often, we focus on managing behavior without fully understanding the developmental skills underneath it- things like emotional regulation, executive function, motivation, and the role relationships play in helping those skills grow. When those pieces are missing from the conversation, even well-intentioned treatment can fall short.
This article explores what might change if we widened the lens.

Psychotherapy Networker has also generously offered my readers a FREE 60-day subscription to the Magazine, which gives access to their full archive of articles and clinical conversations.
If you work with families, teach, or are simply interested in the evolving understanding of ADHD and neurodiversity, their publication is well worth exploring.
