Focus Frequency: Navigating ADD/ADHD

Welcome to Adaptable | Behavior Explained! Individuals with ADD or ADHD have a difficult time paying attention and focusing, especially if they’re uninterested, are easily distracted, and can also be impulsive or disruptive. ADHD also includes the physical symptoms of hyperactivity or excessive restlessness. While the symptoms seen to be fairly straight forward, diagnosing ADD/ADHD can be complex. A person must exhibit a large number of symptoms that prove to cause significant problems with daily life, throughout their life, and in multiple settings. Let's talk about how to navigate ADD/ADHD!

I'm Kelly O'Horo, Attachment based EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Consultant, and Advanced Trainer. I'm a mom of 5, Nonna of 5, wife, and a healer. I have the honor of spending my workdays walking along side people while they brave their healing journeys. I try to live with the generous assumption that we're all doing the best we can with what we know. Therapists are teachers for the "life stuff" and "emotional vocabulary" that may not have been learned due to gaps in our care givers capabilities. In the last 15 years I've learned that people are freaking amazing, resilient, and inspiring. Most importantly, we are hardwired for connection and for healing!

I hope to bring an authentic, compassionate, and unpolished approach while we explore a variety of topics such as parenting, marriage, relationships, dating, trauma, attachment, adoption, depression, addiction, anxiety, and love! There's a why for all behaviors and an explanation that makes perfect sense as emotion is at the root of it all.
