Blog:ADHD & Trauma Therapy in Phoenix, AZ — Supporting Kids, Teens, and ASU Students
Whether you're a parent seeking help for your child or a college student trying to understand your own challenges, ADHD and trauma can impact every area of life—from focus and relationships to academic and emotional wellbeing. At A Ray of Hope – Phoenix, we provide specialized therapy for ADHD and trauma to support children, teens, and young adults, including those attending Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe.
Our compassionate providers are trained to identify and treat ADHD and trauma-related concerns in a safe, supportive setting. We serve patients from Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, and surrounding communities.
Many individuals with ADHD also experience trauma symptoms—and vice versa. ADHD may lead to increased stress, social rejection, and academic struggles, which can trigger trauma responses. On the other hand, trauma can mimic ADHD symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, and mood swings.
Common signs we address include:
Trouble focusing or completing tasks
Emotional outbursts or sensitivity
Avoidance behaviors or withdrawal
Sleep disturbances or nightmares
Difficulty with memory or organization
Anxiety, fear, or low self-worth
Whether it's a recent event or a long-term pattern, therapy helps you or your child break free from overwhelm and gain tools for healing.
We offer:
✅ ADHD evaluations and treatment for children, teens & college students
✅ Trauma-informed therapy, including CBT & EMDR
✅ Behavioral strategies for home and school success
✅ Family therapy and parent coaching
