Overview

Find support for ADHD at any age

Living with ADHD can feel overwhelming, frustrating, and exhausting — not only for the individual experiencing it, but also for families, spouses, teachers, and caregivers trying to help. At Hope & Healing Counseling, we provide compassionate, practical ADHD counseling for children, teens, and adults in Jenison and surrounding communities.

ADHD affects far more than attention span. It can impact emotional regulation, motivation, organization, relationships, school performance, work productivity, self-esteem, and everyday life.

ADHD can look different from person to person. Some clients struggle with hyperactivity and impulsiveness, while others experience chronic overwhelm, forgetfulness, distraction, or emotional burnout. Our goal is to help clients better understand how ADHD affects them personally while developing tools and strategies that create real progress and confidence.

If you are thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 right now, or go to your nearest emergency room. Therapy is for the long road — a crisis line is for tonight.

How we help

Our approach to ADHD counseling

At Hope & Healing Counseling, we believe ADHD is not a personal failure. Many individuals with ADHD are highly creative, intelligent, empathetic, and capable — but may need support learning how to work with their brain instead of against it.

Our counseling approach focuses on understanding individual strengths and challenges, building practical coping strategies, improving emotional awareness, developing healthy systems and routines, encouraging long-term growth and confidence, and creating a safe, supportive environment for healing. Every treatment plan is personalized based on the client's age, needs, goals, and life circumstances.

Children and teens with ADHD often feel misunderstood or constantly corrected. Over time, this can impact confidence, behavior, friendships, and academic performance. We also partner with parents to provide guidance, practical tools, and support that can help create a healthier and more connected home environment.

Many adults with ADHD feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, frustration, inconsistency, or burnout — especially when trying to balance work, relationships, parenting, and responsibilities. Our approach is supportive, practical, and personalized to your unique experiences and goals.

Do you diagnose ADHD?

Our clinicians assess symptoms, gather history, and provide assessment-informed counseling. For formal diagnosis and medication, we coordinate with your primary care provider or a psychiatric prescriber, and we will help you get connected if you do not have one.

Can counseling help if I am already medicated?

Yes. Medication can improve attention, but it does not install systems or undo years of self-criticism. Combining the two produces the best outcomes for most people.

Is it too late to be diagnosed as an adult?

No. Late diagnosis is common, particularly for women and for people with inattentive presentations. Plenty of clients here started in their thirties, forties, or later.

Will you talk to my child's school?

With your written consent, yes. We can coordinate with teachers and counselors and provide documentation for IEP and 504 meetings.

How is this different from productivity coaching?

Coaching addresses the systems; counseling also addresses the emotional layer — frustration tolerance, self-esteem, and the beliefs formed over years. We do both, in the same room.

Is ADHD counseling covered by insurance?

Generally yes. We accept 13+ major plans including Michigan Medicaid, and verify your specific benefits before your first visit.
