Traditional therapy is a unique opportunity to learn more about yourself and why you think and feel like you do.  Processing through feelings helps us understand ourselves, gain new perspectives, and reduce our reactions to chronic stressors. We’ll work together to identify any underlying root causes of problems that hold you back from a happier, more fulfilling life. Together, we’ll work to increase your understanding of your current challenges and identify practical ways to improve how you manage your depression, stress, anxiety, and other emotions. Learn to stop feeding anxiety with mental energy and instead calm your body’s physical reaction to anxiety.

The Benefits of Therapy for Adult ADHD

Adult ADHD can bring challenges to every aspect of life. Therapy is an important tool to help you overcome those challenges and thrive by harnessing control of your natural self. As an Adult ADHD Specialist, I provide therapy from an ADHD-informed perspective to help you better understand the exact nature of your ADHD and how it affects you at work, at home, and in relationships.

First, we’ll focus on fully understanding exactly the different dimensions of your ADHD and how that impacts your life in the areas of attention, thinking, emotions,  impulses, and relationship problems.

We’ll work on finding practical solutions for common ADHD problems such as a hyperactive, distractible mind, inability to get started, procrastination, disorganization, task avoidance and paralysis, poor time management, emotional reactivity, and relationship problems.

Craig is a fantastic counselor who works collaboratively with his patients to identify the work they want to do and does not waste any time assisting them in making progress. His wealth of knowledge and experience is encyclopedic and does not hesitate to reference that knowledge even if it is an approach off the beaten path. I could not recommend Craig more to folks who are looking for a real partner on their counseling journey. Definitely give him call

Jon: Finding a therapist that fits with you and your needs can be a challenge, it has been for me. So, it’s thrilling to have found Craig who has been a wonderful therapist! He has helped me connect with myself and support my journey/growth in meaningful and empathetic ways, has said many things that have stuck with me, been a good listener and conversationalist, and provided resources and takeaways that have truly been beneficial. He is also someone who understands what he is good at, and is willing to consider if/when someone else might be a more qualified fit for specific needs/goals, which is such an important trait in a therapist. You can tell he does care about doing this work well. I am glad I found Craig.

Jonathan:

Craig is masterfully patient, and deeply skilled at helping people like me with ADHD gain confidence, and a healthy perspective on their executive functioning challenges. Since starting to work with Craig, I have been able — for the first time ever — to identify areas of struggle in my working life/daily operating procedure, and actually work on them in tangible ways. If you have ADHD, he’s worth meeting.

Casey:

Craig excels at prompting an open and honest discussion, without judgement. He doesn’t simply offer up solutions, which lets you come to them yourself. It’s really helped me guide my adhd so that I’m not fighting it but working with it.

Khalil:

Looking for somebody to help navigate my ADHD and the challenges that come with it daily, and eventually met Mr. Mead. Who along with being well-versed on the matter, also gives and helps lead to creative solutions that I can implement regularly, leading to in my experience so far a overall more manageable and productive way to live life despite life’s challenges with ADHD.

Heard in Chicago: Always cheerful, kind and smiling, Craig Mead is an excellent listener. I was seeking help for depression and anxiety due to adult ADHD. Craig was able to help me evolve strategies to ease my symptoms and resolve the root causes. We’re all a “work in progress” our whole lives, and I’ve made good positive progress with Craig’s help.I highly recommend him!
