Living with ADHD can feel exhausting, confusing, or overwhelming. Difficulties with focus, impulsivity, emotional regulation, or follow-through can affect school, work, relationships, and self-esteem. At Daybreak Counseling, we offer ADHD and behavioral support in Des Moines that focuses on understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Whether you’re seeking clarity, structure, or sustainable support, you’re not alone.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects attention, executive functioning, and emotional regulation. Behavioral challenges may appear differently across age groups and often overlap with anxiety, learning differences, trauma, or mood concerns.
ADHD is not a lack of effort or motivation. It reflects differences in how the brain processes information and manages energy.
Effective ADHD support focuses on building skills, structure, and confidence while reducing shame and frustration. Treatment is individualized and often includes a combination of education, therapy, behavioral strategies, and, when appropriate, medication.
Clients often experience improved focus, emotional regulation, organization, and self-understanding.
Daybreak offers evidence-based ADHD testing to provide clarity and informed guidance.
Our therapists use practical, strengths-based approaches to help clients manage symptoms in daily life.
ADHD presents differently across the lifespan, and support should reflect that.
Children: Play-based strategies, parent guidance, and school collaboration
Teens: Support with academics, emotional regulation, and self-advocacy
Adults: Focus on organization, work performance, relationships, and stress management
Care is always tailored to individual needs and goals.
For some individuals, medication can be a helpful part of ADHD treatment. Daybreak’s medication providers offer careful, collaborative medication management informed by testing, history, and ongoing monitoring.
Medication is never one-size-fits-all and is always part of a broader care plan.
At Daybreak, ADHD care is comprehensive, compassionate, and grounded in evidence. We prioritize accurate diagnosis, thoughtful treatment planning, and collaboration with families, schools, and other providers when appropriate.
Our goal is not to “fix” you, but to support how your brain works best.
If ADHD or behavioral challenges are affecting your life or your child’s development, support is available. Clarity and effective tools can make a meaningful difference.
