ADHD: Attention-Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder
Discover how to thrive.
Learning how your mind works helps you move beyond survival to thriving.
“ADHD isn’t a complete inability to pay attention. It’s an impairment in the ability to filter out all of the other things that the brain notices. ” ~ Dr. Alicia Hart
NW Regen’s cohesive & collaborative care treats:
Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can impact focus, organization, and emotional regulation. It presents differently in every person — sometimes as hyperactivity and impulsiveness, other times as quiet distraction or mental fatigue. Many patients also experience overlapping conditions such as anxiety, sleep disturbances, or sensory sensitivities.
ADHD in children
ADHD looks different across the lifespan. In children, it often shows up as restlessness, impulsivity, or trouble following directions — behaviors that can be mistaken for defiance or lack of motivation. Many kids with ADHD also experience sensory sensitivities or emotional swings that make school and social situations challenging.
ADHD in adults
In adults, symptoms may become more internalized. Instead of overt hyperactivity, many experience mental fatigue, disorganization, or difficulty sustaining attention on complex tasks. Adults with undiagnosed ADHD often report chronic overwhelm, perfectionism, or burnout that traces back to lifelong attention-pattern differences.

Integrative Support for Families Living with ADHD
“We live in a time that prioritizes distractions and builds disruption into the nervous system, which makes it harder to focus.
Folks with ADHD have an interest-based attention system, which thrives on novelty, passion, and building deeper understanding.” ~ Dr. Alicia Hart
Children 7+ with ADHD
ADHD can look different in every child. Some struggle to focus or sit still; others internalize stress and appear anxious or withdrawn. Dr. Alicia Hart provides thorough, trauma-informed evaluations for children 7 and older, helping families understand how their child’s brain processes information, emotion, and attention.
Adults with ADHD
Many adults reach their 30s, 40s, or 50s before recognizing that lifelong challenges with focus, organization, or motivation may be signs of ADHD. Dr. Hart specializes in late-diagnosis care. She’ll help you untangle overlapping symptoms of anxiety, burnout, sensory processing differences, and executive-function fatigue.
