West Chester, PA (PRWEB) February 7, 2008 -- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is the buzzphrase of the twenty-first century for everyone and anyone with organizational and focusing challenges. However, to people who seriously suffer with ADHD, the condition is anything but buzz. ADHD can be crippling from an academic, business or social perspective. Licensed Clinical Social Worker Marjorie Johnson, President of Ascend Consulting knows these scenarios too well. "This disorder is personal to me. Not only do I work to deal with my own ADHD, but a member of my family is [also affected by it as well. And when it is that close, it's personal. It's real."
Marjorie decided to become an ADHD Coach to not only help the multitude of kids suffering with the disorder, but to also help the legions of adults with it as well. "So many professional adults come to my practice and seek help with time management, focusing, organizing and "clearing the path" in their brains that prohibits them from completing common, every-day tasks. Many of my clients describe ADHD as 'fog in their head'--making them feel lost and unsure of which path to take on any given day or hour. I provide steady support to clear their thinking and create strategies to continue their climb to peak success."
"At Ascend Consulting, we've developed a methodology or 'pathway to success' for these patients," says Marjorie. "We give them the tools they need to 'sort through' the confusion and achieve mental calm." Marjorie has been working with ADHD patients for over 10 years. Her latest program for the patient struggling with ADHD is F.O.C.U.S *--a systematic, point-by-point way of controlling ADHD through a multi-faceted approach to Finding strengths, Organizational training, Caring for self, Using supports and Stress management.
In her practice and with her work on the professional advisory board of CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Marjorie has seen parents of students with ADHD make great strides as well.
Once the kids start coming and their parents crystallize what ADHD really is, then parents start coming to sessions as well. Marjorie smiles and likes to quote a psychiatrist friend of hers who aptly summed up this phenomenon, "Where there are apples, there are trees."
