Tween & Teen ADHD Therapy & Neurodivergent Support in Madison, WI
Helping Tweens & Teens with ADHD & Autism Build Skills, Confidence & Self-Compassion
Living with ADHD — or navigating life as a neurodivergent tween or teen — can feel overwhelming at times. Many kids struggle not just with focus and organization, but also with big feelings of shame, frustration, or self-doubt.
At Capital City Psychology, we help tweens and teens understand their unique brains, build practical skills, and develop more confidence and self-acceptance.
ADHD & Executive Function Challenges
Does your child:
Have trouble starting homework or chores — or finishing them?
Lose track of time or struggle to remember instructions?
Feel frustrated or embarrassed when things don’t come easily?
Procrastinate or shut down when tasks feel too big?
Get easily distracted, forgetful, or overwhelmed by busy schedules?
These challenges are common for kids with ADHD and other neurodivergent traits — but with the right support, they can learn tools to navigate them more confidently.
How ADHD & Neurodivergent Therapy Helps
Our approach uses evidence-based strategies to both build skills and provide emotional support. We help tweens and teens:
Build executive function skills like time management, planning, and organization
Understand their unique brain wiring and work with it — not against it
Break free from negative self-talk and shame
Learn coping skills for anxiety or overwhelm
Practice strategies to handle schoolwork, friendships, and daily routines
If your child is also on the autism spectrum (known as “level 1” to use terminology commonly used in clinical settings), we tailor sessions to help with flexible thinking, social connection, and daily living skills — all while honoring their strengths and individuality.
A Safe, Non-Judgmental Space
Many neurodivergent kids feel misunderstood or hear that they are “too much” in school or at home. We create a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can be themselves, learn about how their brain works, and feel proud of who they are.
Parents are part of the process too — we share tools and strategies so you can support your child at home in ways that really work.
