Refrigerator in a Thornton kitchen covered in sticky notes and school reminders
The fridge is covered in reminders. You still forgot the important one.

Another Day, Another List You Lost

Thornton is a city of families. School drop-offs, grocery runs, sports practice, dentist appointments, work meetings, and somehow fitting dinner in between. The to-do list never ends. And if you have ADHD, that list might as well be written in invisible ink -- because no matter how many times you write it down, something gets missed.

You make lists on your phone. You stick notes on the fridge. You set alarms. And still, you show up to pick up your kid and realize it was early release day and you are an hour late. Or you go to the store for five things and come home with twelve bags and none of the five things you needed.

This is not a joke. This is daily life with ADHD. And in a busy suburb like Thornton, where everyone is running at full speed, falling behind feels personal. It is not. Your brain is just wired differently.

The Parent Who Tries Harder Than Everyone and Still Falls Behind

You are not a bad parent. You are not careless. You care more than most -- that is why the mistakes hurt so much. You beat yourself up every time you forget something. You apologize constantly. You overcompensate by saying yes to everything, which just makes the overwhelm worse.

If you feel like you are drowning in a life that other people seem to manage just fine, ADHD might be the reason. Take our free 2-minute ADHD screening and see if there is an explanation for what you have been going through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I forget things even when I write them down?

ADHD affects working memory -- the part of your brain that holds onto information while you use it. Writing things down helps, but it is not enough when your brain cannot hold the thread. Treatment targets this directly.

Is parent burnout the same as ADHD?

They can overlap, but they are different. Burnout gets better with rest. ADHD does not. If you have always struggled with focus, memory, and organization -- even before you had kids -- ADHD might be the root cause.

Can I get an appointment that fits around my kids' schedule?

Yes. We offer flexible scheduling so you can fit appointments around school, work, and everything else. Call (855) 468-2343 and we will find a time that works.

What if I think both me and my child have ADHD?

That is very common. ADHD is highly genetic. If your child was diagnosed and you see the same patterns in yourself, getting your own evaluation is a smart move. You cannot pour from an empty cup.

Is there a long wait to get started?

No. We do not have a wait list. Many people are seen the same day they reach out. Call (855) 468-2343 and let us get you in.
