ADHD FAQs

Counselling coverage by Alberta Health Care varies. In some cases, Alberta Health Services offers counselling that is covered by the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan. However, this is not always the case, and often counselling services are not covered. It’s important for individuals seeking counselling services to explore their options, including direct billing through major third-party insurance providers. Contacting the psychology clinic directly can provide more specific information about coverage and billing options. This approach ensures that individuals seeking counselling are well-informed about their options for coverage and payment.

Some of the areas of counselling include cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.

Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on helping individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to their problems. CBT is often used to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is one of the most widely utilized counselling theories today, backed by scientific research showing its effectiveness in helping clients make rational choices.

Humanistic Therapy

Humanistic therapy emphasizes understanding an individual’s unique perspective and experiences. Humanistic therapists use their counselling skills to create a non-judgmental and empathetic environment, allowing clients to explore their feelings and gain insight into their behavior.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy is based on the idea that unconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences significantly influence an individual’s behavior. Therapists help clients explore their past experiences and relationships to gain insight into their current problems.

Solution-focused Therapy

Solution-focused therapy emphasizes finding practical solutions to problems rather than dwelling on the past. Therapists use this client-centred approach to help set specific goals and develop strategies to achieve them.

Systemic Therapy

Systemic therapy focuses on the relationships and interactions between individuals rather than on individual issues. Therapists work with families, couples, and other groups to understand and improve their relationships.

Existential Therapy

Existential therapy helps individuals understand and come to terms with more profound questions about their existence and purpose. Therapists aim to help clients find meaning and fulfillment in their lives.

ADHD does not cause social awkwardness, but it can make it more difficult for people to interact with others. Symptoms of ADHD can make it hard to pay attention, follow conversations, and pick up on social cues. This can lead to social awkwardness, but it is not caused by the condition itself. If you are struggling with symptoms of social awkwardness, it is important to seek professional help so that you can receive the treatment and support that you need.

ADHD masking is a term used to describe the tendency of people with ADHD to compensate for their symptoms by consciously or unconsciously changing their behavior. For example, someone with ADHD might try to appear more organized than they actually are, or they may avoid activities that require them to focus for long periods of time. Masking can be helpful in some situations, but it can also be detrimental if it leads to people not getting the help and support they need. If you are struggling with ADHD, it is important to seek professional help so that you can receive the treatment and support that you need.
