[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for the kindness and lack of judgement. We moved away from the DC area to a southern state with very few services/available therapists that aren’t preaching “Christian strategies”.  We have a great child psychiatrist who monitors meds and we meet via zoom. 
But finding training for me and my son-I haven’t had much luck. [/quote]

Please go to your health insurance website and find in plan therapists/psychologists. Sort by distance w/i 5 miles and accepting NPs and printout a directory. Google every name and you will see that many offer more info about their credentials and methods - CBT, DBT, ACT therapies, etc.  Book and try a few and see who clicks.  Call your insurance company and see how many sessions a week you can have. Many therapists will book an initial session for the parent only without the child so you can assess fit.

Keep trying. Therapy is helpful.  ADHD kids need to learn that they are not bad kids but they have different (equally good) brains and they need to learn different strategies to get their brain to work in the best way. [/quote]
